Mobile jumped in ahead early in the game with a 20-8 lead.

Mobile halted the quick run from Point as Ezra McKenna and Trent Moye made back-to-back layups to push their lead to 40-29. Moye followed up with a three-pointer before the Rams took a quick timeout. The Skyhawks looked to find their way back into making a quick run as Kenton Steele added a layup which was followed by a made three from Jack Gray. Moye continued his stretch of made jump shots, but Gray responded with another as the Skyhawks trailed 58-41. With under 10 minutes, Point now trailed by 11 after multiple made layups from Theapalis Williams. Jack Gray cut it to a single-digit deficit after his third made three in the game.
