It’s been said of the college game that put Collin Sexton on the map – with Alabama nearly beating 14th-ranked Minnesota with only three players – that the final score barely mattered. It was the Young Bull’s performance that left an indelible mark.
The same could be said of Monday night’s semifinal showdown in Vegas. The Lakers, behind Josh Hart’s 37 points, won the game – a 112-109 double-overtime thriller. But as far as Cavalier fans go, it was Cleveland’s fearless rookie guard who stole the show at Summer League.
The former Crimson Tide standout finished with 27 points on 9-for-22 shooting, nearly willing the Wine & Gold to the finals with a heroic effort down the stretch and in the extra-sessions adding three boards, two assists and a pair of steals.
