ORLANDO, FL. - The Grand Rapids Gold, the No. 5 seed in the Winter Showcase, punched their ticket to the semifinals with a commanding 119-106 victory over the No. 4 seed Greensboro Swarm.

Grand Rapids controlled the game from the opening tip, holding the lead for the majority of the game and building the lead to as many as 25 points. Greensboro's largest lead came early and never exceeded two points, as the Gold maintained consistent pressure on both ends of the floor.

Moses Brown led the way for the Gold with a dominant double-double, finishing with 27 points and 11 rebounds. All five Gold starters reached double figures, showcasing a balanced offensive effort. NBA Assignment player DaRon Holmes II followed Brown with 19 points, five rebounds, and seven assists. Two-way players Tamar Bates and Curtis Jones added 18 and 16 points, respectively. Kessler Edwards rounded out the starting five with a double-double of his own, recording 14 points and 14 rebounds.

The Swarm were led by Antonio Reeves, who scored 17 points. NBA Assignment player Liam McNeeley, along with Terrell Brown and Keyontae Johnson, each contributed 15 points. Drew Peterson was the only other Greensboro player to reach double figures, finishing with 11 points.
