HOW IT HAPPENED
THE FIRST HALF
  • It was a tight game in the early going with Mobile holding a 10-7 lead five minutes in.

  • The Rams cut the lead to two after a Darius Curry basket with 6:31 until halftime, but Sean Cranney nailed a three-ball on the very next possession to get the lead back to five (24-19).
  • Scoring began to pick up as the half wound down with the Birds extending the lead to nine points (30-21) with just over four minutes to go.
