<p class="text-gray-700">Armon was a stat-sheet stuffer, finishing with <strong>13 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists</strong> in a near triple-double showing. He made timely shots from deep (<strong>3-for-3 from three</strong>) and punished defensive gaps with smart decisions. His passing stood out most—consistently finding shooters and cutters out of advantage situations. Armon's ability to impact the game without dominating the ball elevated Parish's overall offensive efficiency.</p>
