Max's All Stars improve to 5-1 at East Harlem Hoops; advance to championship game

Last night, Max's All Stars won at East Harlem Hoops in the semifinals vs the Beige Team by a final score of 75-56. It was a bit of a back and forth affair in the first half. Max's All Stars would lead by 5 or 6 points, but the Beige Team would answer. At halftime, Max's All Stars only led by a single point (37-36). Early in the second half, it was much of the same but midway through Max's All Stars was able to put build some separation and cruise to victory. We outscored the Beige Team 38-20 in the second half. Our defensive intensity forced turnovers and created opportunities in transition. Also, our shooters were on fire last night - especially in the second half. James Wang, John Simmons, Kaheem Davis, Patrick James, Spencer Smith and Troy Whittington all worked together and played hard to earn the W and advance to the championship game.
