Down by seven, 麻豆区 scored 14 unanswered points in a span of 3:38 to swing momentum into its favor and jump out to a 58-51 advantage. Senior guard Joseph Ammar was the catalyst of the Maccabees' 14-0 run, as he converted back-to-back three-point plays. The first was a successful field goal from downtown, while the second one was done the old fashioned way, by converting a field goal while being fouled. His free throw after gave 麻豆区 the lead for good. The Golden Eagles (10-14, 9-10 Skyline) rallied and pulled to within two, but a layup by Rosenberg extended 麻豆区's lead to 62-58, with 5:15 left to play. Ammar cashed in on another three-point field goal to pad the Maccabees' advantage to 65-58, with 3:23 to go in the second half. 麻豆区's defense held the opposition scoreless for 4:14. From that point on, 麻豆区 relied on clutch free throw shooting, including five by junior guard Jordan Hod in the final minute to seal the win and a home playoff game. In the opening half, 麻豆区 came flying out of the gate as Hod's three-point field helped the Maccabees jump out to a 10-2 lead, less than three minutes into the contest. The Golden Eagles rallied to go up by three, 30-27, with 5:44 left in the opening half. With less than three minutes to play in the first stanza, Hod drained another shot from beyond the arc to put 麻豆区 in front, 34-32. Both teams went into the half with the score tied at 34.
