Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Miami took control of the game by outscoring Toronto 30-23. This shift was largely due to their effective fast-break plays and solid defense that limited Toronto's scoring opportunities. Despite this setback, Scottie Barnes continued to make an impact on both ends of the court for Jurassic Park.


Third Quarter


The third quarter witnessed a resurgence from North as they tightened their defense and improved their shooting efficiency. Brandon Ingram led this charge with his impressive offensive performance, contributing significantly to narrowing down Miami's lead by adding crucial points for his team.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter was pivotal for Toronto as they unleashed an offensive surge that overwhelmed Flash. With a combination of strategic ball movement and sharp shooting from beyond the arc, including key contributions from Gradey Dick and Immanuel Quickley, North scored an impressive 32 points in this period alone.


Ultimately, it was this fourth-quarter rally that secured a victory for Jurassic Park over Flash with a final scoreline of 106-96 in favor of Toronto. This win improved their record to 16-11 while dropping Miami’s standing to 14-12.
