Dawg Mentality never trailed — not for a single second. They spent 19:41 in front, held Ice in our veins scoreless in the lead column the entire night, and walked away with a 53-44 final to sweep the doubleheader on Sep 30. The biggest run of the game was a 10-unanswered-point stretch that essentially ended the conversation before the fourth quarter even got loud.

Best Breaks ran the show for the winners, finishing with 16 pts, 7 ast, and a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line. Down the stretch, Best Breaks knocked in a dunk at 1:27 to push the lead to 47-40, then added four free throws in the final minute to ice it — the last pair at 0:41.7 making it 51-42. IISumo quietly put together the most complete line on the floor: 12 pts, 11 reb, a double-double, 5-of-7 FG, and 0 turnovers. iiG3neii chipped in 13 pts and 4 stl. On the other side, ICE DRAGONxX led Ice in our veins with 13 pts and 5-of-10 FG, and lManny Gunz was efficient at 4-of-6 FG — but it wasn't enough.

Dawg Mentality entered this game 1-0 and came in riding momentum from that earlier 57-28 blowout of this same squad. Ice in our veins came in 0-3 and couldn't find an answer all night — or all day.
