The Jacksonville Jam (19-7) traveled to Miami knowing that each of the final two contests remaining with the Tropics (18-5) would be crucial to determine positioning come ABA playoff time. And they did not disappoint JAM fans. Jacksonville jumped out to a 30-20 first quarter lead and held strong throughout the game, setting the pace by shooting a sizzling 53 percent from the field, compared to 37 percent for the Tropics.

Bobby St. Preux and DeRon Rutledge each had 19 points with St. Preux making 6 of 9 shots, including 4 of 5 on threes, and Rutledge shooting 7 of 11. Jerry Williams and newly acquired point guard Roy Booker rounded out the JAM scoring with double-doubles of 12 points and 11 rebounds and 10 points and 10 assists respectively. The Tropics were led by shooting guard Marcus Barnes, who had a game-high 36 points although he hit only 11 of 34 shots from the field as the JAM defense held him in check.
