The lead changed hands 12 times and the game was tied 8 times — and it was Blahkaah23 who finally ended the madness. With 1:48 left in the fourth, Blahkaah23 hit a jumper to put the opponents ahead 69-68 for good, then came right back at 1:23 with another jumper to push it to 71-68. Dumpdaglock300 added a dunk at 1:06 to make it 73-68, and though Jorts_347 hit a three at 0:35.3 to cut it to 73-71, MarvooShiesty1 iced it with a jumper at 0:27.2 to seal the 75-71 final.

Sburke42 was the story of the night on the losing side — 30 points on a scorching 12-of-17 FG and 4-of-7 from three, but it wasn't enough. Blahkaah23 answered with a double-double: 19 pts, 14 reb, and 4 blk, the kind of two-way performance that wins games. Dumpdaglock300 quietly put together a double-double of their own — 16 pts and 11 ast on 7-of-11 FG with 0 turnovers. mrbeaubo dropped a double-double for Austin Bats with 16 ast alongside 14 pts, and Jorts_347 chipped in 19 pts with 4 blk and 0 turnovers on 9-of-15 FG.

Austin Bats spent 5:41 in front and had the largest lead of 5 points, but the opponents held the edge for 12:45 of game time and never let Austin Bats pull away when it mattered most in BoxScore Labs Season 1.
