After blowing a 13-point halftime lead, things looked bleak for Bivouac in Sunday’s BIG3 championship game against 3’s Company.
However, the team buckled down when it counted most to earn a 50-47 victory and take home the title.
After falling behind 26-13 at halftime, 2024 league MVP Michael Beasley spearheaded a furious second-half comeback for 3’s Company to help take a 47-46 lead. Undeterred, Corey Brewer gave Bivouac back the lead with a pair of free throws and then came up big with a steal on the ensuing possession that helped lead to a game-winning bank shot by Garlon Green to secure the title.
Former NBA veteran Gerald Green led Bivouac with 18 points on six three-pointers and was named MVP of the title game.
