Crookedstraight was eliminated in a nail biter. This game was close all the way from start to finish. We trailed by 7 points with about 5 minutes left in the game until I hit a couple 3's in a row plus a and-1 layup sparking a comeback. We actually took the lead and were up 5 with under a minute left but I donked off 2 free throws near the end and they somehow tied it to send it to overtime.
In overtime, we won the jumpball and scratched first on a jumper by Tuan to take a 2 point lead. On their first possession, they missed a corner 3 pointer but got the offensive rebound putback plus one when I fell down and got up and fouled the guy. He made the free throw. Kevin hit a leaning jumper on our next possession putting us up by 1 point again. We then got a defensive stop and then they had to foul us. Kev hit both free throws to put us up by 3 with 8 seconds left. We had 2 fouls to give so we gave one in the backcourt, leaving them with 7 seconds left. After a deflection, they had possession with 4 seconds left on the baseline and managed to hit a game-tying 3 pointer. That guy that made it hadn't shot a 3 pointer the entire season (so he said after the game). He also made the sudden-death layup in double overtime to send us packing.

I arrived at this game late (there was 8:24 left on the clock left in the 1st quarter). The other team was credited with 6 free points (you get 3 free points for every minute that ticks off if the other team doesnt have at least 4 players present at start of gametime). They got 8 more technical free throws because Manny couldn't make the game and he has our jerseys. Usually one of us would go to his house and pick up the jerseys but he gave us a late notice and forgot to leave the jerseys outside. Solid stuff.
As for the game, we dominated the first half with a random pick up off some team named Top Guns. That foo was balling for us. We led by 3 points at halftime. The second half was a different story. One of Tom's callups showed up and he took over for the Top Gun dude. He wasn't as good and was a definite factor in killing our flow. We lost by like 9 or something.
Terrible weekend.
