2013
\n<\/strong>
\nFor a while it looked like the Under Armour Elite 24\u2019s return to New York would lose some of its luster because of a blowout on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n

That changed when Team Bed Stuy, the slight favorites coming in, made a frantic comeback after falling behind by 30 points early in the second half against a Team Coney Island team that eventually pulled out a 114-109 victory at Brooklyn Bridge Park.<\/p>\n

Not only did the fans at the makeshift outdoor court down under the Brooklyn Bridge, i.e. Dumbo, witness a competitive game in the second half, the crowd also got to see a \u201cbattle,\u201d a style of play where two players on opposing teams go back and forth trying to out do each other, that New Yorkers are known to love.<\/p>\n

The battle came between hometown product Isaiah Whitehead<\/strong> from Lincoln (Brooklyn) of Team Coney Island and Emmanuel Mudiay<\/strong> from Prime Prep Academy (Dallas) of Team Bed Stuy. Whitehead led the victors with a game-high 26 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the field. Team Bed Stuy made 10-of-20 3-pointers, while Team Coney Island made 5-of-17 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

Team Coney Island held a 66-42 halftime lead and built its lead to 30 points (72-42) on a lay-up by Chris Chiozza<\/strong> from White Station (Memphis, Tenn.) early in the second half.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Mudiay started cooking. The nation\u2019s top point guard, who announced for SMU during halftime of the ESPNU telecast, had four points in the first half. He began to convert his shots in the second half and helped Team Bed Stuy cut its large deficit. Mudiay finished with 22 points. Mudiay also made a couple of shots on Whitehead, but the Brooklyn native more than held his own in the match up to the pleasure of the pro-Whitehead crowd.<\/p>\n
