The final game of the evening marked another first for the league. Yvonne DeCoute spotted up and dropped a three-point bomb for the Sunkist Greens, who beat the Blues 35-24. This three pointer, aside from being a history-maker, stopped a fourth quarter rally by the Blues.

The Greens were led in scoring by the trio of Murray Gregorson, with 10 points, Jason Binns (10) and Nick Dunston (eight). The Blues, who battled hard until the end, were led by Eugene (Baby-Shaq) Watson with 12 points.
