Bakken Bears outlast LANDAU Lions 91-88 in overtime

How Bakken Bears won overtime against LANDAU Lions

Bakken Bears won the extra period 10-7 to close out a 91-88 victory over LANDAU Lions. The visitors had taken the fourth quarter 22-19 to drag the game into overtime.

That late push carried the mark of Arnas Sakenis, who played 40 minutes and never let Bakken settle near the basket. He finished with 26 points on 12/17 two-pointers, 10 rebounds and 7 blocks, for a PIR of 35.

LANDAU Lions had support from De'Ondre Jackson, with 18 points, and J.J. Frazier Jr., with 13 points and 3 steals. In the five minutes that mattered most, though, Bakken found three more points and the visitors ran out of answers.

Bakken Bears' 30-22 third quarter that set up the finish

The third quarter, won 30-22, was the period that put Bakken Bears back in control. Before it, the hosts had lost the first quarter 17-19 and the second 15-18.

It was the only quarter in which either side reached 30 points, and it changed the shape of the night. LANDAU Lions had been the sharper team for twenty minutes, yet one burst from Bakken meant the visitors spent the fourth quarter chasing rather than defending a lead.

Djahi Binet and Bakken's depth against Arnas Sakenis

Djahi Binet carried Bakken Bears from the bench, posting 15 points and 12 rebounds in 29 minutes. His 7/10 shooting inside the arc and PIR of 21 were the best on the winning side.

Shaquille Rombley added 16 points in only 21 minutes, going 7/9 on two-pointers and 2/2 from the line. Myles Corey scored 15 with 6 assists, much of it from 6/7 free throws.

Magnus Mollgaard was efficient too, with 12 points on 3/3 twos and 2/4 threes plus 2 steals in 19 minutes. That spread of scoring is what LANDAU Lions could not match, however much Sakenis produced.
