Rabb & Soldiers come out on top

Edward Lewis writes about the Ivan Rabb - Cliff Alexander matchup of last night:

"...For the first few minutes of the Oakland Soldiers vs. Mac Irvin Fire battle, a five-star matchup looked like a technical knockout. The No. 5 player in the 2014 clas, Cliff Alexander, was matched up with the No. 1 player in the 2015 class, Ivan Rabb, and Alexander dominated. 

He bullied Rabb, beating him up on the glass and in the paint. 

But the five-star 2015 Rabb snapped out of it late in the first half and started throwing a few haymakers of his own. He did so well, in fact, that he ended up dwarfing Alexander's boxscore line by the end of the game. 

Alexander finished with nine points and nine rebounds, while Rabb piled up 15 points and 19 boards against the big five-star..."
