Wilson who turned the afternoon into his own personal dunk fest, scoring 12 second-half points, including two fast-break slams.
After trailing 22-11 early on, On-Point Academy (3-10) made a run, cutting the Buster lead to two. But Garden City (14-2) responded late to take a 35-28 lead into the locker room. Then in the second half, it wasn’t even close.
The Garden City defense smothered On Point, holding the visiting squad to just 9-of-30 from the floor in the final 20 minutes and 36 percent shooting for the game.
Luka Pavlovic led On Point with 13 points-he was the only player in double figures.
