Q3 Bisons take the third quarter as they did from the tip, with a flurry of 3 pointers and increased their lead to 10 - Towers unwilling to give in with unremitting defense and with the scoring now coming from Towers C Campbell, Towers close the deficit to a single point - Bisons 49 Towers 48.
Q4 Early foul trouble for two of the Bisons meant a bit of freedom for Towers and they took full advantage, using C McQuaid to notch up some early points.
