| We scored 7 in a row to go up 50-27, then they hit 3 straight 3's on us to keep us from blowing it wide open. We finish strong though and its pretty much over.
Hayes is having a monster game. 9-11 from the floor, 5-5 from the line, he has 23 points already. Ewing has 11 after being scoreless until the final 7 minutes. They are 7-17 from 3 which is the only difference between the 18 point lead we have here and the 40 point lead we had in the first game.

| They go cold and we get out on the break and blow the game open. Alston and Hayes are both up over 25 points now, if Alston can't get a layup on the break then Hayes can dominate his man inside. Pretty simple!

The lead is still 25 with about 9 minutes left. I go ahead and sim it out.
