Final:
Carolina Heat 2026 56 – Grind Academy 2026 54
Let’s put it this way, Court 8 held a ton of action on it on Sunday and it continued into this game as we had another nail-bitter on our hands. Both teams went back and forth, as Carolina Heat was able to claim an early halftime lead. But Grind Academy, much like their name, grinded their way back in behind the play of Malik McCotter who scored 16 points in the second half. But in the end, the Heat was able to hold on late, hitting some big free throws at the end.
