NOBLESVILLE - The Noblesville Boom (15-16) snapped their seven-game losing streak with a decisive 141-115 victory over the Westchester Knicks (10-19) on Saturday night at The Arena at Innovation Mile.
Dakota Mathias delivered a standout performance, recording the first triple-double of his career and the 19th in franchise history.

Two-way players Kevin McCullar Jr. and Dillon Jones each scored 16 points, with Jones also tallying six rebounds and six assists.
The opening quarter was tightly contested, featuring five lead changes, as the teams finished knotted at 28-28 after 12 minutes. Dadiet carried the offensive load for the Knicks early, scoring 15 of Westchester's 28 points in the frame on 6-of-11 shooting. Noblesville countered with efficient shooting of its own to keep pace. The back-and-forth battle continued for much of the first half until the Boom used a 23-8 run to build a 16-point advantage. Noblesville capitalized on Westchester's shooting struggles, outscoring the Knicks 40-24 in the period to take a 68-52 lead into halftime. Three Boom players reached double figures in the half, led by Mathias, who scored 19 of his 31 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.
Westchester trimmed the deficit to nine early in the third quarter, forcing a Noblesville timeout, but the Boom responded emphatically with a 17-3 run to reestablish control and extend the lead to 23 later in the period. Noblesville continued to shoot efficiently from deep, hitting 55.6 percent from three-point range through three quarters, compared to 22.7 percent by the Knicks. The Boom pulled away further in the fourth, stretching the lead to as many as 28 points, their largest of the night. Keion Brooks Jr. and El-Sheikh each scored 10 points in the final frame to close out the win and end the seven-game skid.
