Playaz Basketball Club (63) vs. Juice All Stars (76)
Lance wins MVP
Game Recap (as told by the ATM Crew)
The title was on the line last night in the inaugural ATM Live Summer Classic. Both teams came ready to play from the start. Austin Johnson scored on a couple of put
backs and easy lay ups and went on to score 7 points in the 1st quarter to
put the Playaz up 18-14. In the 2nd quarter, Lance Stephenson was doing what he wanted by driving to the basket and hitting the 15 footer. He also connected on two 3 pointers which gave him 15 1st half points with Juice down 33 to 34. In the 3rd quarter Tamir Jackson (St. Benedicts) was not going down without a fight. His teammate Chris Gatson was solid as he crashed the boards consistently and played with a emotion. Juice was up after the 3rd 51 to 48, and never looked back. Ervin Walker put on a dribbling exhibition and Lance threw down a couple of exciting dunks to give Juice the crown. Mr. Stephenson was MVP with a game high 23 points and 6rbs.
