CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - SU bound guard Michael Carter-Williams nailed two clutch free throws to extend his team's lead, then caused a deal that delivered the East team to victory.

Rakeem Christmas, also headed to SU, played in the game as well.

North Carolina-bound James McAdoo had 26 points and 14 rebounds and hit the clinching free throws with 1.6 seconds left to the lead the East squad to a 113-109 victory over the West on Saturday night in the Jordan Brand Classic.

Duke product Austin Rivers added 16 points six rebounds and four steals for the East, which held off a late West rally in the freewheeling high school All-Star game devoid of much defense.

Anthony Davis led Kentucky's impressive foursome of prospects with 29 points and 11 rebounds to pace the West. Tony Wroten Jr., who is headed to Washington added 16 points and 10 assists.

After the West cut a once 14-deficit to two, McAdoo calmly sank both free throws and was voted co-MVP with Davis.
