Knight, who put on a show in both the quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday, came up big again in the finals with 24 points on 10-18 shooting. His determined effort also produced eight rebounds. Between the two of them, they only had three turnovers in thee game.
John Wall managed only a pedestrian effort compared to his inspired play throughout the event. He scored 20 points on 6-17 shooting and only turned the ball over once, but only managed two turnovers with his team struggling from the field as he was.
Ryan Kelly struggled both from the field and on the boards, hitting only 4-13 from the field for 12 points and grabbing only two rebounds (both offensive) while being outplayed by Team Breakdown big man Keith Clanton.
