Two North Carolina programs going head to head for the title and it was a battle. The shooting of Marshall Nicholson gave Team Curry a 47-40 lead with 9 minutes left in the second half. A couple of turnover by Life Warriors Elite and the passing ability of Cha’Den Traylor which led to easy baskets, pushed the lead to 55-46 with 5 minutes left. Warriors Life Elite with a couple of baskets to make it a 9-point game at 61-52 with 4 minutes left. A three from Cayden Hill made it a 6-point game with 3 minutes remaining. 63-61 with 2:35 left after a Jordan Matheson lay-in. A missed free-throw gave Warriors Life Elite a chance to tie at the buzzer but it was waved off. 

 

Leading the way for Team Curry was Jayden Griffin with 15 points and Sean Nix with 12 points.
