The Kingdom Ballers and 76ers reported to North Highland Assembly of God's Church gymnasium, on 19 November 2016, with a message to send to each other and the rest of the league. The Kingdom Ballers want to show the league that they are a team to be respected and that they had arrived and the 76ers wanted to show that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Both teams reported with four (4) wins and five (5) losses. The first half started with the 76ers winning the tip-off followed by a 2-point score. Both teams tied at four (4), but the 76ers would establish a lead from a free throw and 2-point shot to go up 7 - 4. The 76ers were prepared to dig a quick hole, for the Kingdom Ballers, before Lamont Shuford and Joseph Ellison reported to enter the game. Five 76ers scored with Tim Sanks leading all scorers with 14 first half points. Tony Flemming added nine (9) points (all 3-pointers) and Tony Campbell (#1) chipped in eight (8) points (two from 3-point range). It was disappointing having to watch Lamont Shuford (#11) carry the Kingdom Ballers by scoring 20 of the teams 30 first half points. The 76ers were able to close the first half with a 36 - 30 point lead.
The second half started with Kingdom Ballers receiving first possession that led to Santonio Howard (#32) scoring 2 points. Both teams came out to play the second half with six players scoring, respectively. The 76ers would score 30 points of their 56 points from beyond the arc. The Kingdom Ballers showed that they could match their first half points by scoring 38 points. Not having Wason Davis in the lineup and Willie Haynes (#31) in a scoring slump put a lot of pressure on Santonio Howard and Lamont Shuford to score. Santonio Howard scored 14 points and Lamont Shuford scored 13 in the second half. Their efforts were overshadowed by superb shooting from the 76ers' Tony Campbell (#1) with 16 points, (#23) Tim Sanks with 20 points, and (#24) Marcus Watkins with three 3-pointers for 9 points.
The Kingdom Ballers outscored the 76ers from 2-point shots 46 - 34 and they both scored seven (7) points from the free throw line during the whole game. What I could not understand was how the Kingdom Ballers could ignore how well the 76ers were shooting 3-point shots. The 76ers scored 51 points (from seven shots) from 3-point range versus 15 points from the Kingdom Ballers. The 76ers defeated the Kingdom Ballers 92 - 68.
The scorers for the Kingdom Ballers were: (#31) Willie Haynes with 3 points, (#33) Joseph Ellison with 2 points, (#32) Santonio Howard with 20 points, (#11) Lamont Shuford with 33 points, (#2) Darrell Sumbry with 2 points, and (#34) Antonio Anthony with 8 points.
The scorers for the 76ers were: (#1) Tony Campbell with 24 points, (#10) Tony Flemming with 12 points, (#23) Tim Sanks with 34 points, (#24) Marcus Watkins with 12 points, (#32) Willie Tennyson with 8 points, and (#40) Brian Short with 2 points.
