Maliek Sadler answered Taylor's 3 by scoring six of Faulkner's last seven points to finish with 31 points, including seven 3-pointers. KJ Rogers added 25 points.
 

Both teams had four players score in double figures as Finch scored 14 points, and Brendan Lankford-Johnson had 12. Faulkner's Jonathan Garcia added 15 points, and Joe Webster had 12 points.
