As the Tigers tried to answer, a turnover led to a Cavaliers fast break which ended with a foul on a made lay up, allowing Chatham to take a five point lead with 1:15 left on the clock. A key three-pointer for the Tigers cut the lead to two, and after a made free throw by Chatham, the Tigers converted an old-fashioned three point play to tie the score with under 30 seconds left. The Cavaliers turned the ball over on the ensuing possession, giving Hargrave a chance to win in regulation. With 6 seconds remaining, Hargrave was fouled but missed the free throw that would have won the game. Chatham grabbed the rebound, but Danny Smith tied the ball up, leading to a jump ball and the possession arrow gave the ball to Hargrave with two seconds left in regulation.
