Playing 16 minute halves, the Teal team seized control of the game early, opening the game on a 7-2 run. The Black team fought back to trail 11-9, but could never get the lead, as the Teal squad scored 14 unanswered points to lead 25-9 with 8:18 to go in the first half. The Teal continued to hold a decisive lead, heading into the halftime lockerroom with a 37-23 lead. The Black team chipped away at the lead in the second half, cutting it to as few as four at 52-48 with 3:25 to go on the clock. But again, the Teal team had an answer, finishing the game on a 9-2 run. The Teal team shot 53.7 percent (22-for-41) for the game, including 68.4 percent (13-for-19) in the first half, while the Black team was limited to just 42.2 percent for the game (19-for-45).
