NBA stars of the past will lock horns for a chance to hoist a distinctive piece of hardware: the Big3 championship.
The Dallas Power and Boston Ball Hogs have emerged as the 3-v-3 competition's finest sides, with rosters that explain their impressive displays. The Power downed Miami 305 in the semifinals, coming back from a five-point halftime deficit to punch a ticket to the finale. Elijah Stewart and Greg Monroe were key to the turnaround, combining for 38 of Dallas' 50 points.
The Boston Ball Hogs also came back from behind to earn a spot in the championship, inching beyond the Ball Hogs, 50-47. Deshawn Stephens led the way with a 27-point outburst, sinking 13-of-19 shots.
