Deandre Ayton lived up to his “Dominayton” moniker, controlling the inside with 24 points and 15 rebounds. Buddy Hield added 19 points and led the team with 10 assists.
The young sensation VJ Edgecombe had 13 points, on 6 of 7 shooting, and he rounded out the stat sheet with 6 rebounds and 8 assists.
The game was much closer than the final score suggested with Lebanon getting the game to within 8 points in the third quarter.
But The Bahamas went on a run in the 4th, punctuated by a clutch three by VJ Edgecombe to end Lebanon’s run and seal the victory for the 242.
Head Coach Chris DiMarco was happy for the gritty win.
Shooting guard Eric Gordon is proud to represent his Bahamian heritage.
