Day 2 was a quieter affair compared to the hustle and bustle of Day 1, as only half the total number of teams were given the opportunity to advance to the finals round of the tournament. The finals round was played in a double-knockout format, where teams moved up the table accordingly.

Apart from the Finals, the next highlight of the day was perhaps the Jammers "Sweet J" Shootout contest. The winner could walk home with prizes sponsored by N.Y.D.C, Milo and World of Sports. Players had to shoot from 7 designated spots on the court within a minute and make as many shots as possible.

2nd-Runner Up Team Black Diamond

Response for the contest was enthusiastic as close to 20 participants signed up for this. The contest was won by Tony from Black Diamond. The National Squad player hit 6 out of 7 shots, of which 2 were 3-pointers. His score was 2-up over the next best score of 4 of 7 achieved by Jason Tan from SlamJam United and Mike, also from Black Diamond.

One female supporter of Black Diamond requested to have a go at the contest and she did join in the fun as the surprise contestant. What was funny about the contest was that many missed the 'easiest' shot right under the basket!

1st Runner-Up Team Corn-Tall

After the shootout, the Semi-Finals and Finals continued. The top 4 teams were Black Diamond, 5 Aces, Corn-Tall and SlamJam United. The youngest team to reach the Finals was 5 Aces, which eventually lost out to Black Diamond. SlamJam United narrowly beat Corn-Tall by 1 single point to seal the victory, marking their perfect run in the tournament. They won all 11 games played through the two days.
