The Jam came out cold tonight, shooting only 31.6% from the field compared to BayHawks' 53.8% in the first quarter.

Johnson took over the game in the second half by scoring 25 second half points. Derrick Byars' put-back after Willie Warren misfired tied the game at 102 with 10 seconds left in the regulation. Kyle Spain missed a lay-up on the other end and Warren's half-court attempt did not fall, sending the game into overtime.
In the first overtime, the Jam trailed by 3 with 36.5 seconds left until a Trey Johnson three-pointer tied it at 112. Ivan Johnson missed a jump shot with 16 seconds to go and it looked like Erie would get another shot at sealing this game when Spain rebounded, but Warren stole it. Trey Johnson could not connect on a three-pointer for the win.
In the second overtime, Jam down by 2, Trey Johnson tied the game at 121 on a lay-up with 6.4 seconds remaining. On the next possession, Tiny Gallon fouled Ivan Johnson who converted both free-throws to put Erie up 123-121 with 3.4 seconds left in the game.
