"The third quarter really hurt us," Anaheim Head Coach Sam Vincent noted. "We had some defensive breakdowns and they were able to jump all over us."

The Arsenal, who were as far behind as 17 points, were able to cut the deficit to four but were unable to get back into the game after the disastrous third quarter where they were outscored 31-19.

Toros forward Marcus Williams played all 48 minutes and ended with 34 points while center Eric Dawson finished with 6 points and 12 rebounds.
