When the fourth quarter began we started gaining a lot of confidence and with 2:36 left, I hit four consecutive three-pointers along with two more of my teammates hitting a couple. With just under a minute to go, we were up by two points. The other team tied up the game 70-70. With the ball in our possession, we ran down the clock for the last shot. The other team realized we were running down the clock. I had the ball in my hands and they fouled me to stop the clock. I made both free throws to help us win the game.”
