Game Overview=If you wonder why the HBL needs the TimeGirl, this game is perfect evidence. In Kristen's absence, Bryce was allowed to time the game. Obviously, he didn't understand his duties because the players played a 21 minute first half, when the first half was supposed to be 12 minutes. The second half was equally messed up, and it resulted in a bloated score, with both teams scoring over 100 points. With the time running out on the clock, and the Warriors in a must-win situation to earn a Finals appearance, the Warriors were down by two. Dee made a shot from the side to tie the game, and in OT the Warriors won with the time-discrepancy score being 112-106! However, that wasn't accurate for statistical purposes, since this resulted in record-breaking performances in nearly every category that were unfair due to the abnormal length of the game. For a solution, the game was "cut off" at the 24 minute mark and only the stats until that point were counted, to ensure that they were not unfair. Still, PureSugar had his best all-around game ever, and Joker had his first triple-double. This left the Warriors at 4-4, the Cats at 3-4 and the Lightning at 4-3. So with this win, the Warriors clinched either a three-way tie for first or second place, and the SabreCats had to win their game to get a chance to play in the Finals!
