Westchester fell behind early in its rematch against Windy City. The Knicks' opponent launched a furious offensive onslaught that saw them lead by as many as 16 points in the first half.

The Knicks' first lead of the game came late in the third quarter. However, Windy City did not let go of its lead easily and the remainder of the game was highly contested.
