One of the highlights of the keenly contested affair was in the second half when, with the score being 40-36 in favour of the Tigers, Hodge received the ball outside of the three-point arc and made his way to the basket, zipped past two opposing players and slammed dunk on two opposing players.

The explosive play sent the Tigers’ bench in a frenzy.
