During an unproductive second period, Benita Cola Turk tried to stay close to its opponent and Harvey’s impressive performance kept the team in the game. Thanks to Go khan’s extra baskets, home team went to locker room leading 31-30 at the half.
Relying on a solid defensive play, Black and Whites eventually succeeded in overpowering their lowly ranked opponents in the second half and the efficient output of Caver and Bar provided a 17-0 run for the win-thirsty visiting Black Eagle. The relegation bound home team put up a reasonable fight to stay in touch and reduce the deficit but final-4 candidate Benita Cola Turk managed a 55-48 superiority at the end of third period.
