A 4.3-point margin — close enough that every lineup call matters and every bench point stings. Mals Pals still held the lead as late as Tuesday, in a game that changed hands 3 times, before the run that decided it.
The tape shows where it was won: MaHomie N Herbie took 4 of the six positions, none more brutally than DEF — -4 plays 16. Omarion Hampton finished with 20.9, the biggest individual return on either side.
