Stockton scored the first five points of the game on a trey by Lancioni and a dunk by Massaquoi and never trailed. Massaquoi later scored the final four points of the half on two layups as the Ospreys raced to a 13-point lead at the break at 36-23. Stockton was sparked by eight steals and the blistering shooting of Kelly, who went 3-4 from beyond the arc for nine points.

The second half was more of the same as the Ospreys widened their lead and never looked back. An alley-oop dunk by DiAndre Brown (Sicklerville/Camden Co.
