Robinson heroics leads Trained To Go over top-seeded Bluff City Blues

Trained to Go's Brandon Robinson hit two 3-pointers in the game's final 11 seconds and finished with 21 points to lead his team to an 83-82 victory over No. 1 seed Bluff City Blues. With 14.7 seconds to go and trailing, 81-77, Robinson collected a baseline inbounds pass at the top of the key and buried a quick-trigger 3-pointer. Trained to Go swiftly took a foul, sending the Blues' Geron Johnson to the line. He swished the first shot, but the second rimmed out, and Trained to Go called a timeout to advance the ball to the half-court, down 82-80. With 9.6 ticks remaining, Robinson set a down-screen on the far side of the court and then blasted along the baseline, around a staggered double-screen, to the near corner and sank the decisive triple. Johnson finished with 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
