Jeff Robinson (Memphis) led the Yellow team with 17 points, while Eric Gordon (Indiana), Kyle Singler (Duke) and Austin Freeman (Georgetown) added 16 points each. Fischer wowed the crowd with his exhilarating passing skills and dribble penetration, setting up many high-flying dunks for his teammates on the Yellow team. Team Royal was led by Donte Greene, who contributed an impressive 20 point performance along with three rebounds and two assists.
In the regional game, the City Team edged out the Suburban team by a score of 114-112. Seton Hall recruit Mike Glover led the City Team with an impressive 19 point, 11 rebound performance. A portion of the proceeds from this game benefited New York City-based charity The Children's Aid Society.
