The Warriors came out in a frenzy to start the third quarter scoring multiple baskets and forcing consecutive turnovers to tie up the game early in the third. Much of the third-quarter went back-and-forth teams trading baskets the Warriors got buckets from
JD Gunn and
Jimmy Paganis. In the fourth quarter, ICCP hit a few of their open looks early, to stretch their lead to double digits. The Warriors had multiple opportunities, but could not convert until eventually the game was out of reach.
