Halfway through the first quarter, Jackson added to his point total with a contested layup. His field goal made it a 15-12 lead for Indiana and led to a timeout called by Birmingham. After the timeout, RayJ Dennis drove the lane and missed a close-range field goal. Cameron McGriff cleaned up the miss with a put-back slam on top of a Squadron defender.&nbsp;



In the final minutes of the quarter, Yor Anei drew a foul and made the one-for-two free throw attempt. On the next possession, Jackson found an opening and knocked down a mid-ranger jumper. Next time down the floor, Keisei Tominaga drilled a three-pointer. With time winding down in the quarter, Jackson drew a shooting foul and converted the one-for-two free throw.&nbsp;

Anei scored the first points of the second quarter. The big man was left open on the perimeter, and he knocked down the three-point field goal. Dennis scored on the following possession with a mid-range jumper.&nbsp;



Leading 48-36 with just under seven minutes to go in the first half, Tominaga drained a corner three giving him eight points off the bench. Tominaga entered the night leading the team with a 61 percent three-point percentage in the regular season.&nbsp;



With under three minutes remaining in the half, Dennis drove the lane and drew a shooting foul. The two-way guard knocked down the free throw worth two points.
