Vladi falls down theres a hectic scramble, Harding pops open, he gets a good clen look, it was up , looked good , hit the rim, and barley rolls off the front, and YGL repeats in dramatic, unbelievable fashion !!! 62-59. 

YGL

Lerner- A- Man on fire, was all over the court doing everything.points/steals/blocks, dude is a born winner 

Leblanc-A- Rock solid, did eveything they needed him to do. That 6-6 from the line was a hige edge for them. 

J.Mul-A+- How many big championship plays can one guys make?? Just a jaw dropping legendary clutch performance from the leagues gentle giant. 

Walker-B+- All grit,and balls 4 huge O boards, and the step through lay up brought a tear to my eye. 

Stull- B- Played the best D he could and took good shots that looked like he got robbed not going in. 

DBS 

Harding-C-) Played good D, tough to give him a bad grade when I dont think he got nearly enough shots but 8 pts is 8 pts. 

Vladi-B- Game high in points and assists, hit some huge shots to keep them in it, but it may have been one to many shots for me. 

Ini-C-) Good D but he was a ghost this game otherwise

Keith-B-) Hit some big shots, they shoulda kept going to the pick and roll it was hurting YGL. Thought he overhelped a little to much a times in the 2nd half. 

Liam-N/A- Barley played 

Harry-D- I wont go F here but it was close. When DBS realized Barbour was not there he should have hundled up and rallied the troops, but I felt a collective drop in energy and that translated to the rest of the game. As a captain/leader you had to stress no let down. Also the pick and roll was ruining YGL and DBS just stopped doing it, shocking because Harry is one of the best game managers that I have seen. I kept waiting for him to make the adjustments and he did not.

YGL 

Barbour-A+- Hows is he suppsoedto play better? 

Leblanc-B-) Not his best but got the job done, much better 2nd half 

J.Mul- A+- Man ona mission , this was one of the best games ive ever seen him play

Walker-B- great board work,and defense 

Stull- B- Played great d, no one got any easy hoops on him. Loved the fuck you 3 attempt 

DBS

Harding-B-) 5 2nd half points this man needs the ball way wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more! 

Vladi-C+- Did not shoot effeicnet and didnt add much else 

INi-D+- Kinda invisible today , it was crazy 

Harry-F- Hate to do it but it just was an F. played himself for way to long Liam didnt sub in until 10 min left in 1st half, and that killed his mojo I think, espicailly when he wasnt hitting any wide open shots. Also some mental meltdowns, just not a greta night for usually heady player. 

Liam-B-) Did what he could very hard to get into the game the way they subbed him in.
