Much like Kori, Tanner continued to do all the little things that have defined his career, this time against the Hornets. The ball always seems to find its way into his hands, and he puts constant pressure on defenders, navigating the floor while patiently searching for cracks in the defense. His ability to hang in the air and finish through contact made him a steady offensive threat, and he consistently drew fouls to get himself to the free-throw line. Adam also knocked down a few timely threes when Oak Park’s lead began to shrink. His energy never wavered, pushing the pace up and down the court and forcing the Northtown guards to match his relentless intensity.
