The Legends got off to a quick 6-0 start, but the Bighorns responded with back-to-back baskets.

Justin Martin and Bobby Ray Parks Jr. combined to regain the lead, and Tu Holloway finished the quarter with a long jumper to put the Legends up 39-35. Reggie Hearn started the second with a triple for the Bighorns but Holloway responded with another three of his own.
