Elijah also had a big day in a tight win for his squad. McClain put up 27 points on an efficient 9-18 FG, doing a little bit of everything when his team needed it most. He got going with a BLOB corner three and a leak-out dunk, while also mixing in two assists for threes where the defense helped off shooters to contain his drive. There was a concerted effort to get Elijah easy looks in the post against smaller defenders, but that size and athleticism were also crucial on defense as he had two key blocks late to hold onto an evaporating lead.
