| Team Notes | Team | Score | Team | Team Notes |
| It was a grueling battle that needed what seemed like and endless series of gut checks, but Supreme Team got that overtime W, upset Ball So Hard, and earned this title bid. Now, the big question is who is available? (C) Max Choi broke his nose just before OT on Sunday, his status is at best, questionable.(G) Ryan Kim and (F) Joseph Choi were not available in the semis, but SUP will need them in the lineup tonight, if nothing else, to compete with SXP’s depth. This is a team that pulled off one of the most impressive comebacks of the season vs SXP. It’s becoming a habit. |  SUP 7-2 |
65-62 |
 SXP 6-3 |
As described last season, when the Sex Panthers are at full strength, they are the best team in D2, never mind their record. They have D2’s most explosive scorer in (G) David Chu, and one of its best finishers in (F) Chris Di. Add (G) Greg Loeffert who could be putting up MVP #s on a number of other teams. This is a veteran unit with tons of firepower & championship pedigree. Their biggest weakness is defense, these legs aren’t getting any younger. And they can wilt mentally at times against physical play. SUP is a tough defense so composure will be key to the Panthers’ chances. |
| Key Player: Ryan Kim
Jeff Syham has proven to be the motor that runs this tank of a team w/ an impossibly gutsy performance on Sunday, but what really gets the SUP offense opened wide is when (G) Ryan Kim heats up from 3FG. The key for Kim is not to chase shots. He did a great job of waiting his turn in SUP’s reg season comeback win vs SXP. His range will be key vs SXP’s slow-footed D. |

Key Player: David Chu
Chu absolutely needs to be the focal point for any defense playing against SXP. And there can be no lapses. All it takes is a few open shots for Chu to catch fire, and all of SXP’s offense goes as he goes. The key for Chu is to stay patient and keep working to get open. Most teams will fall asleep, and like his 3-pt flurry midway through the 4th qtr on Sunday, he can put away a game with one hot stretch. |
