This game started out very fast paced with two teams that are staples in DI. Some great offensive possessions saw a lot of scoring throughout the entire game.

 Pinkerton started to get hot, and gained a lead in the first quarter that never went away. Portsmouth even found themselves down by 18 at one point in the third but brought it back down to within six.

 Pinkerton though continued to have multiple runs that would increase their comfortable lead, and gave them a cushion whenever Portsmouth found momentum. In the end Pinkerton found a way to stay on top of the Clippers until the final buzzer.

 And even though the difference in score was a decent margin, the game never felt certain. These two teams went bucket for bucket and put on a fun matchup, that we could see down the road in the post season. The final for this one though 74-53 Astros with the win.
