I’m sure most of us are still somewhat in shock due to the wild nature of last night’s championship game.
Team Knight began the game up 15 and held the lead until the under 4 minute TV timeout of the 2nd half when Team Gannon took a 2pt lead of his own.
Unfortunately for Team Gannon, he was unable to hold it for long as Okafor came out of his coma to put Team Knight back in front and neither Winslow nor Dekker could close the deal for Gannon by bricking two late free throws and missing on a long range desperation three.
Team Knight is the first franchise to reach double digits, as it takes home its 10th Hemcher Cup Championship.
2015 Hemcher Cup Final Standings:

- Gannon 622pts, 42 games played, 14.8 ppg average

2015 All Hemcher Team:
- Frank Kaminsky 132pts, Team Lampazzi Pick #2
- Sam Dekker 115pts, Team Gannon Pick #25
- Travis Trice 95pts, Team Knight Pick #65
- Jahlil Okafor 90pts, Team Knight Pick #5
- Justise Winslow 86pts, Team Gannon Pick #24
Kaminsky at 132pts, ties for 8th all time with Miles Simon and Sean May.
I just did a quick check and Knight’s 55 games looks to be two games short of the all time record of 57 games set by Team Knight in 2013 when he scored 648 points to win the cup.
And with that, we close the book on HC XXIII.
Sincerely,
Your Assistant TO the Commissioner
