Matt Till hit a clutch three for Fitzherbert’s Team to keep them ahead. The last few minutes of the game, Savage’s Team had to foul to put their opponents on the line and then Dayne Savage got hot with the three ball by knocking down a few with defenders in his face.
With Savage’s Team down by one, Dayne Savage attempted a buzzer-beater and connected on the shot,, but the ball left his hand just a second too late and Fitzherbert’s team walked away with the 58-57 victory.
