Coming back from Thanksgiving break last night, Max's All Stars could not get on track against Team #3 Ray S - Black at the 92nd Street Y, falling by a final score of 62-55. Max's All Stars battled all night and took a slim two-point lead midway through the second half, but could not hold on. Eleven players showed up for the game last night and substitutions were difficult to handle, thus making it hard to perform consistently throughout the game. Max's All Stars fell to 1-6 in the Fall 2011 92Y Adult Basketball League A-Division and 4-8 overall this season.
Next game is on Saturday, December 3rd at Boys and Girls Republic.
