Campbell Hall of North Hollywood couldn't have asked for more chances to win, and fans couldn't have asked for more entertainment value in the evening finale of the Pangos Classic on Saturday at Pauley Pavilion.

The Vikings fell 78-77 in double overtime to South Atlanta, but not before getting three good looks at a potential winning shot down the stretch.

Jrue Holiday's final attempt at the win came from just inside the 3-point line at the elbow; it hit the side of the rim and came off as the buzzer sounded.

Holiday finished with a game-high 35 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists and nine steals. He scored all of the Vikings' points in the first overtime, and his left-handed scoop shot at the end of regulation appeared to give his team the win before the referees waved it off, saying time had expired.

South Atlanta 6-foot-9 forward Derrick Favors had 32 points and 29 rebounds.

Campbell Hall was able to keep Favors out of the mix for much of the overtime periods by dropping a second defender into his passing lanes. He still managed a big tip-in with 1:25 remaining in the second overtime to give his team a 74-69 lead.

With Campbell Hall trailing 78-75, South Atlanta elected to foul Holiday on an inbounds pass with seven seconds left in the second overtime. Holiday sank both of his free throws to pull Campbell Hall within a point, and the Vikings got the ball back on two missed free throws by South Atlanta, setting up the final shot for Holiday.

James Johnson and Dallas Rutherford each scored 14 points for Campbell Hall.

Lakers rookie guard Javaris Crittenton, an Atlanta native, sat on South Atlanta's bench and shouted encouragement to his hometown team throughout the game.
