In the end of the game, LA Loop couldn’t overcome the New Image’s full-court defense and let the New Image narrow the lead to 7 points. But, Coach Leo instructed how to get through the opponent’s defense during the timeout. LA Loop regained their composure and continued scoring including Kenny Jones’ double-clutch shoot. LA Loop finished the game by a score of 78 – 64 and extended their winning streak to 3.

In this game, Vince Camper controlled the game well even though it was the first game for him to play in the Drew League in this season. He only made 1 assist, but he created shooting chances for teammates by passing a ball to wide-opened players. He will make more assists and contribute to win for LA Loop soon.
