The broadcast described a stretch in which number 24 and number 12 each made multiple scoring attempts and three-point attempts that influenced the tight score. The commentary also recorded a number of substitutions and personal fouls; at least one player (number 4) was noted as having two fouls early in the game.

By the end of the first half the play-by-play announcer said the score was 27-26, with Hillcrest ahead by one. The broadcast characterized the contest as competitive and physical, with both teams showing strong defensive pressure and several contested rebounds.
