Kameron Chatman scored 21 points, including nine during the Elam Ending, to lead the Scarborough Shooting Stars to a 75-72 win over the visiting Hamilton Honey Badgers at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre on Saturday.

Jalen Harris added 18 for Scarborough (5-4), which was trailing by seven when the Elam Ending target of 75 points was set. Chatman posted four of the final six points, ending the game with a floater.

Christian Vital posted 22 points to lead Hamilton (7-3), which is now tied with the Niagara River Lions for second in the standings. The Fraser Valley Bandits sit atop of the table with a 7-2 record.

Just over 20 days ago on June 4, the Shooting Stars were dominated by the Honey Badgers for a 84-69 loss in their first-ever home game.

The expansion team, which has now won its second home game since, will host the Ottawa BlackJacks next on Monday at 7.30 p.m. ET.

The Honey Badgers will play the Guelph Nighthawks at home that same day at 7 p.m. ET.
