By the end of the second Lakeland reduced the lead to just three points to set themselves up for the second half. 

 

 

3rd quarter

The Rustlers finished the game with a one point lead going into the final quarter. Chance Samuel continued to dominate, scoring 10 points on 100% shooting from distance. 

 

4th quarter: 

Lakeland continued to control both sides of the court as they extended their lead over the Kodiaks. Matthew Bryant lead the Rustlers' offense in the fourth quarter with 11 points, while Cody Tollestrup worked hard for the Kodiaks on both ends and finished the game with 12 rebounds and 13 points. Lakeland's Chance Samuel finished the game with 23 points on 5/7 from 3 to lead the Rustlers to a 76-70 victory over the Kodiaks.
