Jon Davis helped cut down the lead for the Camel Reds but points from Fred Bourdillon, Banks and Workman kept the visitors in front 68-60 after thirty minutes of action.

Adonis Thomas got hot to begin the fourth quarter as he opened up a double-digit lead but David and McGuirl kept scoring to keep Guy Goodes’s team hanging around, however, Banks and Workman found the bucket to close out the victory.
