Stevens scored 24 points, Palatin added 20 points and Batemon scored 19 points in the win. Omot scored 18 points while a trip of players chipped in with 12 points a piece in the loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharacter, belief and a bit of luck,\u201d Avrahami began after the overtime win. \u201cThis game was a microcosm of our entire season as we have won close games all year long.
