The Miracles rode that momentum with a tough three pointer by Johnny Mayhane and a clutch bucket by Trayvon Lathan to gain the lead.

Fast forward about 30 seconds. A couple of possessions and a missed Robinson free throw The Miracles are up one with the ball and 1:03 on the clock. The Express' Darren Duncan stripped Lathan and was able to score an uncontested lay-up for the lead. The Miracles got a chance to tie the game on a Sylvania Watkins runner as time expired, but it rimmed out.

The Home team was lead by Mayhane's 17 points and 9 rebounds and by Lathan's 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists.

The Miracles demolished the Express on the boards, winning the rebounding battle 60-39. The Express just outshot the home team, 46% to the Miracles' 39%.

The Miracles have a chance to redeem themselves at home on Sunday when the 2-time defending champion London Lightning come to town for their only visit this season.
