As for the game, the first quarter was dominated by the visitors, the weakest team in the league (27: 7).

However, the hosts recovered and fell 29:27 behind at the end of the quarter.
In the second quarter we got a close game, where the advantage passes from side to side, and at the break Washington fell by a 72:74 advantage.
Towards the end of the third quarter, Washington's escape came, when a minute to the end of a three by Davis Bartans gave the hosts a 79:98 advantage (5/11 of the three), and at the end of the quarter the Vizers led 81:98.
From here to the end Washington maintained a promising double-digit gap en route to a 112-128 victory.
