Bingo would pick up the pace late in the half but the Juice would still be up by 7 point at half's end.
To start the half Ron Baker would net a three pointer for Bingo followed by another from Chris Harris.
Shooting lights out the Bingo All-stars soon tied the game off another three by Harris.
Early in the second half, Juice was losing war of attrition as Bingo was out hustling the Brooklyn team.

At the 7 minute mark, Juice became a bit tentative even though or perhaps in spite of the fact that they were now up by seven.

The pace would slow considerably as both teams were clearly showing signs of the wear and tear of a marathon Providence Jam Fest schedule..

Vincent Council would be the high scorer for Juice and Josh Spivey was high man for Bingo. Both had 16 points.
