WOW! This was a great game. Lamar Freeman capped his best shooting night with a three pointer from the corner at the buzzer to give Summit the victory. Things looked pretty dark for Summit in the first quarter when Parsippany's Curry racked up 12 points and Parsippany grabbed a 21-11 lead. What was worse, they built the lead by dominating Summit in every aspect of the game. It looked like it was going to be a major blowout. Summit began to get its act together in the 2nd quarter. They held Curry to a single free throw and reduced Parsippany's margin to 8 points. Ryan Carey led the 2nd quarter revival with 6 points while Kurt Forsyth and Gereno Tan each contributed 4 points. Things really turned around in the 3rd quarter when Summit stepped up their defensive full court pressure, forcing numerous turnovers. Freeman's 7 points and Carey's 6 points led the scoring. Entering the 4th quarter Summit had turned a possible blowout into a 47-51 game. Summit continued the pressure in the 4th quarter and slowly closed to within a point at 54-55.

After making a great comeback Summit ultimately let this one get away. Summit was down by 8 at the half but fought back to tie the score in the 4th quarter. With only 4 seconds left in the game Summit led by three points and Parsippany was inbounding the ball. As it turned out, Summit still had one foul to give and they were instructed to immediately foul who ever got the ball. thereby using up a few seconds without putting Parsippany to the foul line. Unfortunately, no one fouled and Parsippany sank a 3 pointer at the buzzer to go into overtime and an eventual 8 point loss.
