With his team looking set to take the biggest ass-whupping of the season, White Chocolate regains his shooting touch, hitting an array of step-back jumpers that form the backbone of an 11-0 spurt that leaves them trailing only 55-38 at the break.
Certified’s “Stretch” stakes his claim to the play of the season early in the second with an alley-oop facial that has the crowd buzzing for a good five minutes after he misses the ensuing free throw. However, while his squad may have the lead in terms of highlights, Dezert Heat are quickly catching them up, again riding a streak of hot shooting to draw within twelve.
Certified keep their composure in the final minutes, though, tightening up on defence to keep DH from gunning their way back into the game. A couple of wide-open dunks make the final difference in this one, Certified taking the game 89-75.
