Boys’ basketball: Calabasas pulls out triple overtime thriller

Calabasas had to survive the efforts of Mayfair point guard Kendall Small in winning a triple overtime thriller, 84-77, on the opening night of the Redondo tournament on Monday night.

Connor Longmire, who finished with 21cpoints for the Coyotes, had given his team a 52-50 lead with just under 10 seconds left in regulation on a three-pointer from the baseline.
