Judging by the on-site reports, the first Derrick Rose-O.J. Mayo clash lived up to advance billing. Mayo, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2007, completed a four-point play to propel his AAU team to an 83-82 victory over Rose and MeanStreets Express at the Reebok Big Time event Sunday in Las Vegas. Rose, the Simeon guard ranked No. 3 in the Class of ’07 by Rivals.com, finished with a triple-double–21 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, according to Internet reports. Mayo scored 26 points, and Indianapolis guard Eric Gordon, who is committed to Illinois, led MeanStreets with 28. — Brian Hamilton
