Max's All Stars suffer heartbreaking first round playoff loss at West 4th

Max's All Stars lost their first round playoff game at Kenny Graham's West Fourth Street vs Black Top by a final score of 93-92 in overtime. Despite being severely shorthanded, Max's All Stars battled back from a 20-point deficit in the second quarter to only be down by three points at halftime (47-44). In the second half, Max's All Stars battled but could not overcome absolutely atrocious officiating. Late in the game, the momentum started swinging towards Max's All Stars. The team started knocking down shots & the game turned into a seesaw affair. When one team would score, the other answered immediately. There were several lead changes in the fourth quarter and overtime - but the referees destroyed any chance Max's All Stars had of winning the game with several missed/highly questionable calls. Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, Elon Howard, Patrick James, Shereef Taylor and TJ Curry fought and worked so hard to win this game. Despite the bitterly disappointing and painful loss, Max's All Stars will learn from this and build on it. Thank you to everyone who competed for Max's All Stars at West 4th this summer. It is greatly appreciated.
