The restart saw the Mcaschfreys score to give them some breathing space. However, the elites kept running the floor to create several counter attack fast break opportunities to slowly wear down any resistance that the mcaschfreys had left. This was clearly working, as the elites were able to score the next 8 pts to go head 25-22 with 14 mins remaining. The mcaschfreys used their final timeout to try and stop the elites momentum, but once again this was to no avail as the elites skipped away to a handy 7 pt lead.
