Omer Yurtseven got off to a hot start scoring the Blue's first 11 points of the game.

The Blue lead grew to 15 in the second quarter, but a Nets run narrowed that gap to a 57-55 Blue advantage at half. Yurtseven finished the first half with a game-high 22 points.

The third quarter was full of runs from both teams as the Blue knotted the game at 85-apiece heading to the final quarter.
