Jason Calliste had another stellar game but it wasn't enough as the Indiana All-Americans of the TBL defeated the Sudbury Five by a score of 103-99.

Calliste shot 6-11 from three point range and put up 28 points on the night, but it was the Indiana bench led by center Evan Maxwell that made the difference.

The All-Americans bench scored 47 points to the Five's 24 points while also outsourcing them in the paint 44-26.

Starting guard Taishaun Johnson shined as he scored 24 points while assisting 6 other baskets, snatching 3 steals along the way.

Indiana's paint presence was a decisive factor in the victory with starting center Brandon Hassell scoring 9 points and grabbing 10 boards and bench center Evan Maxwell scoring 17 points and grabbing 7 boards, both finishing with 2 blocks as well.

It wasn't all bad for Sudbury as Zena Edosomwan put up 14 points and 7 rebounds in a bounce back performance while Josiah Moore did good work off the bench with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

The Five look to rebound tomorrow as they take on the Toledo Glass City in another exhibition.
