How It Happened
The Bruins jumped out to an early 7-2 lead in the first two and a half minutes. The Boxers would then pull within one before the two teams were fairly even over the next five minutes or so. With the score tied at 23, Pacific would go on a 7-0 run which was capped by an
Antoine Stitt three-point field goal with 7:36 left in the first half. Pacific held a six-point lead with just over three minutes remaining in the opening half before the visitors closed the lead to 33-32 at the halftime break.
The first 10 minutes of the concluding half was very tight with neither team getting more than a two-possession lead. The final 10 minutes however belonged to the Bruins as they opened a 12-point lead with a 16-4 run in a five-minute stretch. From there they never looked back as they closed out the 86-74 win never letting their lead get within single digits.
