SALT LAKE CITY - George King came off a high screen to knock down a straight-away three with 14.1 seconds left, giving the Agua Caliente Clippers a 110-108 lead over the Salt Lake City Stars. The Clippers would go on to defeat the Stars 111-108, robbing the Stars of what would have been an improbable comeback victory at the Toyota Arena on Thursday night.

The Clippers turned the ball over on the ensuing possession but were able to get a stop and defensive rebound on the other end before King was able to unleash his late-game heroics.
Edwards finished the night with 34 points and two steals, while his fellow backcourt mate Jared Wilson-Frame added 30 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Marques Bolden finished with 12 points, 14 rebounds and four blocked shots for the Stars.
Keaton Wallace led the way for the Clippers with 26 points and eight rebounds and Nate Darling added 20 points and five assists.
