The Jawbreakers easily overturned a 15-20 deficit after a 21-3 blast to take a 36-23 lead at the end of the first quarter. They continued to pounce on the listless Scratchers, stretching their lead to as much as 27, 81-54, with 3:07 left in the third quarter.
The Scratchers staged one last rally behind Matt Salem, whose barrage of treys cut the Jawbreakers’ advantage to eight, 91-83, midway through the payoff period. —RANDOLPH B. LEONGSON, INQUIRER.NET
