Bivouac Triumphs in Thrilling BIG3 Championship
Bivouac clinched their first-ever BIG3 championship title with a dramatic 50-47 victory over 3's Company in a closely contested match held at the TD Garden in Boston. The win punctuated an impressive season for Bivouac, who finished with a stellar 7-1 record.
Bivouac took control early in the game, capitalizing on a series of defensive stops to build a double-digit lead by halftime, with the scoreboard reading 26-13. It appeared as though Bivouac would cruise to a comfortable win, but 3's Company, led by the league's regular-season MVP Michael Beasley, had other plans.
A Stalwart Effort by Beasley
Beasley delivered a stellar performance, showcasing why he was named the MVP of the regular season. He notched a game-high 28 points, collected 12 rebounds, and dished out three assists. Despite Beasley's heroic efforts, the rest of 3's Company struggled to generate offense. Remarkably, Beasley was the only player from his team to score in double figures, underlining the heavy reliance on his individual brilliance.
The game saw a late resurgence from 3's Company, who clawed their way back to take a 47-46 lead in the dying moments. It seemed like Beasley’s efforts might be enough to carry his team to victory, but Bivouac had one final play up their sleeve.
Garlon Green’s Heroics
With the game hanging in the balance, it was Garlon Green who stepped up for Bivouac, sinking a crucial game-winning bank shot that sealed their 50-47 victory. Green’s clutch performance in the final seconds epitomized Bivouac's resilience and determination. He finished the game with a solid contribution of 13 points and five rebounds.
Beyond Green’s late-game heroics, it was Gerald Green who spearheaded Bivouac’s offensive efforts throughout the match. Leading the team with 18 points, Gerald Green was a consistent scoring threat and a steady hand under pressure. His efforts earned him the MVP honors for the championship game, a fitting accolade for the seasoned player who was drafted with the No. 18 pick in the 2005 NBA Draft and enjoyed a 12-year NBA career.
A Historic Win for Bivouac

Their 7-1 season record stands as a testament to their dominance and consistency throughout the competition.

On the other side, 3's Company can hold their heads high despite the loss.
