The Riders looked on course for a comfortable win at 73-64 midway through the quarter before the Rocks rattled off 9 points without reply to tie the game.

After single free throws from Joel Burns and Kyle Greathouse the Riders had the initiative back at 77-75 with 68s remaining. Maurice Hampton levelled the game for the Rocks with 26s remaining and after a Greathouse turnover Hampton's single free throw left Rocks 78-77 in front with 17s remaining.
