Druid City opened up the second half with a 12-2 run that put them ahead 68-67 and went on to build a 7 point lead with ten minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Musicians Center, Will Caudle scored on a jump hook with 8:10 to play that put the Musicians up 102-101.

Reserves Nick Clark, Dexter Hall, and Ray Trowell contributed 12, 11, and 10 points respectively off the bench for the Musicians.

"This was just a huge win for us tonight! That we won was big, but the way we won was bigger! We were in bad foul trouble in the third quarter with Caudle, McGinnis, and Pippen on the bench with 4 fouls each and our reserves really stepped up for us tonight. Nick Clark, Dameon Goodman, and Chris Ferguson really played key roles in this win and this was a complete team victory tonight. That is very pleasing to see!" stated Musicians Head Coach Steve Tucker.

The Musicians return home to Musicians Arena to host the Anderson Heat on Friday night in Murfreesboro. Tip-off is scheduled for 7pm.
