While the hosts were able to answer Schneider's two early baskets, the Panthers clamped down after that as they pushed their lead to 5 on baskets from Devin Moultrie and Greg Archie. Hilbert was able to respond, as they put together a 7-0 run over a two-minute span that saw them take a 15-11 lead.

With 6:35 to go in the half, Isaiah Archie hit two free throws to begin a 7-0 run for the Panthers, which gave them the lead for good. Following a defensive stop, Greg Archie was able to convert a three-point play and then Isaiah was able to get out into transition and throw down a slam dunk to put the Panthers up 32-25.

• After halftime, the Hawks came out strong, quickly cutting the Panther advantage to two points. Alex Rodriguez hit a corner three to end the rally and after the teams traded baskets, Isaiah Archie made highlight-reel plays on consecutive possessions to push the lead to 9.
