The Warriors registered an amazing 116 and the Out-Laws with 96. At the starting tip-off, it seems like that the Out-Laws will claim the throne with their hustle play, excellent man-to-man defence and full court pressure. The match started out with Out-Laws outscoring the Warriors. At the end of half-time, the Warriors brought the lead down to one. In the start of the second half, the Warriors would then make a 16-5 run and claimed the lead and maintain the lead through out the match. Troy Yaingeluo out-scored everyone with 31 pts and named the tournament MVP.
