Raising Champions 65 Team Philly 45
Raising Champions had the mercy rule take effect when they went up by 20 points against Team Philly late in the game. When a team has a lead and it hits the magic number 20, then the game is automatically stopped. That’s exactly what happened and Raising Champions had a victory. Moore led the way by filling up the basket with 29 points.
