The Hawks answered with a 38-18 run of their own to take a 49-40 lead into the locker room. SGSC’s scoring spark included three consecutive three-pointers by Zae Wiggins in the closing minutes of the half.

           

The Hawks held Salt Lake to only four points to start the second half and built a 57-44 lead with 15:12 left to play. Salt Lake outscored SGSC 24-13 over the next 10 minutes to close the gap to two points (70-68).

Salt Lake’s Marvin Price drove into the paint on the Bruins’ ensuing possession and made a layup as time expired to send the game into overtime.

           

Leading 90-89 with 12.7 seconds remaining in the extra period, SGSC’s AJ Spencer hit 1-of-2 free throws to give the Hawks a two point lead.
