From the opening tip-off, the duo of CJ Hall and Cortland Blake spearheaded the Lions' offensive onslaught, while JJ Boling showcased his defensive prowess with keen awareness and strategic positioning.

JJ Boling's clutch free throws forced the extra period, but ultimately, the Stars seized the moment and secured a thrilling 94-88 upset victory over the Lions.
