As is always their calling card, the BIG3 brought basketball and entertainment to the ATL.

The fans experienced the following electric atmosphere:

• The homecoming of former Atlanta Hawks stars Joe “ISO”Johnson and Josh  Smith.

• Glen “Big Baby” Davis launched his jersey and game shorts into the crowd after getting ejected early into Power’s surprising loss.

• Atlanta rap star Yung Joc performed classic hit “It’s Goin Down” during halftime of Trilogy vs Power’s game.

• And just for good measure Atlanta Hawk legend Dominique Wilkins was in attendance taking in all the action.

Joe Johnson’s explosive game would prove to be too much for Bivouac, as the former Atlanta Hawk added to his MVP-caliber campaign with 24 of his teams 37 points in the second half to keep the Triplet’s undefeated.

Bivouac drops to 1 – 2 and Triplets remain undefeated at 3 – 0.

The second game of the night featured a battle of unbeatens, Killer 3s put their perfect season on the line against, the also undefeated, 3 Headed Monsters.

Rashard Lewis put the 3 Headed Monsters on his shoulders, accounting for his team’s first 10 points, but at the end Frank “Nitty” Sessions made several spectacular drives to close out the victory for Killer 3s.

Killer 3’s improve to 3-0 and 3 Headed Monsters slip to 2 – 1

Sunday’s final game was a testament to the excitement and competitvenss, the BIG3 brings every week.

Trilogy beat Power 50 -43.

“Big Baby” gave his uniform and positive energy to the crowd, before heading back to the locker-room.
