In the second quarter, Boston continued their offensive onslaught by adding another 32 points to their tally. The Green Machine's defense was equally impressive as they limited Sactown to just 21 points during this period. Devin Carter tried to rally his team with strategic plays but found it challenging against Boston’s tight defense.

Heading into the final quarter trailing behind significantly did not deter Sactown's spirit. They put up a valiant effort scoring 27 points while holding Boston to just 23 in this segment of play - showcasing resilience especially from bench players who collectively added up impressive numbers contributing half of team's total score (50 bench points).
