In the final game of the night, we saw a playoff intensity game between Toronto Wild and Salami & Cheese. In the end, it was Toronto Wild coming through in double OT with the 52-46 victory. For Toronto Wild, Delly Thomas was unstoppable down the stretch as he morphed into "Mr. Clutch" for his squad. He finished with 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. Vince Kua chipped in with 12 points. For Salami & Cheese, they battled and had the win within their grasp, but they failed to keep their composure on a few plays down the stretch (turnovers and fouls) and as a result, suffer a tough loss in a game that was theirs.
