Desmond Crews scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half and drained a turnaround jumper with less then five seconds to play to help Ontario secure a 57-55 victory over Elsinore in pool play at the Nighthawk Classic. With Ontario trailing by one and less than 15 seconds to play, Crews took a pass just outside the top of the three-point arc, dribbled toward the basket with Strausheim right on him, then spun quickly in the air, squared to the basket and released a perfect shot.   Ontario's fourth-quarter comeback was as much of a surprise to the Jaguars (6-0) as it was to Elsinore (5-2). The Tigers used a 10-0 opening run to take a five-point lead after the first quarter, led by 10 again early in the second quarter, and owned a 25-17 advantage at the half. But Crews started to warm up in the third frame, draining a pair of threes, scoring on a fast-break layup, and converting a pair of free throws. He scored just twice in the fourth, but made the big one when he had to. Elsinore's defense slipped in the fourth, too. The Tigers succumbed to Ontario's relentless ball pressure, finding themselves forced into three key turnovers and unable to get back on defense quickly enough to keep Ontario from getting some easy buckets. It also didn't help that they missed a pair of free throws in the final five minutes. They converted just 13 of 20 free throws on the night. Elsinore was outscored 19-12 in the fourth quarter.  Travon Keahey led the Tigers with 20 points, and Ross Wolter added 15.  Mack Marcel scored 12, and Marcus had 11 for Ontario. The Jaguars trailed 43-38 after three quarters but outscored Elsinore 19-12 in the final eight minutes to prevail. Ross Wolters had 15 points and 11 rebounds for Elsinore.
