Continuing their amazing shooting in the 2nd stanza, the Rockets held a commanding 42-25 advantage by the half. Warren changing its defense to a more aggressive one after intermission, pulled to within 51-40 going into the final frame and was just 5 points down, 61-56, with a minute left in the game. But, the Rockets regained their poise and held on. Senior Neil Tope paced the Rocket attack, meshing 22 points on an amazing 10 of 12 goals added to 2 charity tosses.
