Nike Pro City (NYC) indoor streetball championship

Prime Time entered the Nike Pro City (68th and Lexington Avenue) playoffs as the top seed. Queensbridge had to defeat X-Men to get in; they peaked at the right time and had the best player in the entire tournament in Houston Rocket forward, Ron Artest... Prime Time came out hot, with former Texas Longhorn Reggie “Hi Five” Freeman hitting a couple deep treys and Sundiata Gaines getting to the rack at will. Queensbridge steadied the ship, as Daryll “Showtime” Hill kept them in it with numerous slashes to the basket for lay ups. Prime Time threatened to blow the game open with the score 51-49 and just under three minutes left in the first half. They closed the half on a 10-2 run, as Freeman hit another trey with 18 seconds left in the second quarter to give Prime Time a 61-51 lead at the intermission. Queensbridge made a run of their own mid-way through the third quarter and tied the game on a superman-like one-handed put back dunk by Ryan “Special FX” Williams.

They then rode the moment to take the lead and entered the fourth stanza with an 80-78 advantage... In the end Queensbridge had it rolling like a well oiled machine as they knocked off Prime Time 118-106 to win the Nike Pro City championship and advance to the Tournament of Champions on August 23... Artest led all scorers with 35 points on 4-for-8 shooting from three, 23 in the second half and nine rebounds. Showtime Hill scored 20 and dished six assists, while Jarrid Frye contributed 19 for the champions. Don Williams came of the bench for Prime Time and led his squad with 20 points and 11 boards. Williams added 19 points, on 3-for-6 shooting from behind the arc, for the losing side.
