Logan finds Perry crashed towards Logan to receive the pass.
Perry turned around and began praying at about 70 feet, carrying one dribble.
The ball hit nothing but the net.
The pandemonium followed when Perry was attacked by his teammates and fans who raided the court.
Perry gets caught up in the air on his teammate's shoulders, and the umpire restores order to the place and desperately blows it away.
It was a fitting end for a game where 10 lead changes tied together 11 different times as they were coming and going all night between rivals at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
