40-36 North after 3

Two key plays in this game.  End of first quarter, it’s 12-4 North.  Grant is struggling to do much of anything on offense (4 points in a quarter?) and it feels like this could get away from them.  Grant calls a timeout for a last shot at quarter end.  Whatever they called, Hammonds ends up shooting a 3 at the top of the key.  Bang.  12-7 feels a lot different than 12-4.  Grant gets possession to open the 2nd, Hammonds scores again, it’s 12-9 - now we got a ballgame.  It was nip and tuck the rest of the way.

second play:  1:30 or so left in the game, it’s 44-43 North - you can feel them, and especially the North bench, getting tighter.  Jack Fisher gets to the rim for an old fashioned 3, now North is up 4, and Grant wouldn’t score again.

only saw Grant play once, either their defense is really improved or I just missed it earlier.  Good D, tough, don’t beat themselves…..

Thought someone would’ve posted the score by the time I wrote all that.  North wins 51-43

Grant failed to adjust against the zone that North presented late in the fourth. Thought they settled for too many threes at the end of the game when it was still a two possession game with plenty of time left
