The Yukon boys basketball team snuck away with a 67-65 win Tuesday against Nunavut at Cook Inlet Academy in Soldotna. “They outplayed us tonight…the only thing that wasn’t in their favor was the final score,” Yukon boys coach Jamie Shaw said. Tim Steele-Beaver of Yukon sank 1-of-2 from the foul line with six seconds remaining in the game. Steele- Beaver finished with 19 points to lead Yukon. Nunavut’s Jamie Innuaraq’s desperation jumper at the buzzer fell short as Yukon pulled out the win. “We had a few mistakes in the end there, but this is by far our best game we’ve played,” said Nunavut’s Sam Carter.
