Retrieve Raiders managed to sneak past the Plaisance Guardians, beating the East Coast based team 59-52 in their elimination match. Ravens, who were behind versus the Half Mile Bulls made a dramatic comeback to win by a point in their thriller which went down 76-75.

The pendulum swung both ways in this game as the Linden team led 22-14 at the end of the first quarter. By the third quarter the action had already gotten underway as both parties found the nets consistently to end the third quarter 60-56, in favor of the Bulls. The last quarter were the Raiders bullying the court with Darcell Harris the man who lifted his team to a win after bettering the Bulls 20-15, in the final quarter.
