Despite a slow start and a number of early turnovers which lead to a first-quarter deficit, the boys were able to turn up the defensive intensity, force a number of outside shots and turnovers, and settle into a nice offensive flow. Once again, the boys showed that they are not a one-dimensional team as they had balanced scoring from all the positions.
