The game opened sloppily in the dark, dingy old rec center, surrounded by rows of mostly empty bleachers, but with a small, raucous group cheering on the Rock Dogs, who scored off the opening
tip. But the first five minutes saw more turnovers than points as the game limped along to a 2-2 tie. The Rumble then took over, outscoring the Rock Dogs, 12-4, at one stretch and took a 21-8 halftime lead.
The Rock Dogs stepped up their offense early in the second half, closing the deficit to nine points, 29-20, in the first nine minutes. They did score 32 second-half points, but that was not enough as the Rumble went on to a 51-41 win. –Chuck Martin
