In Nelson, the Giants dominated the first half to be ahead by 17 at the half time break, leading 24-14 at the first quarter break and then 46-29 at the end of the second. The Heat had a much stronger third quarter offensively and also applied greater defensive pressure to get back in the game and take the third 27-16 and reduce the Giants lead to 6 going into the fourth. Midway through the fourth the Heat took the lead for the first time in the game with a Mike Bell dunk. With :55 second to play the game was tied up for the first time 74-74. Corey Webster nailed to free throws with 25 seconds to play and with 7 seconds to play Tony Rampton only made one of his free throws to hand the game to the Heat.
