The Falcons started off the game with their relentless defense and a strong rebounding effort, to hold the Raiders scoreless after the first quarter and held a 5-0 lead.
The Raiders returned the favor with a strong 2nd quarter defensive effort in which the held the Falcons scoreless and took a 7-5 lead into halftime.

The Falcons were able to regain the lead in the 3rd quarter by a score of 14-13, and set the stage for an exiting back and forth final quarter of play.

A free throw by Adam Abuali, and bucket inside the paint by Jeffrey Newton extended the Falcon lead to 3 points again. They were able to get an insurance bucket by Tyler Revak late in the game to finish off a 23-18 victory.
