P-G slowly stretched the lead throughout the second half, and lead 34-27 entering the final eight minutes. The Rockets knocked down 8 free throws in the final quarter to secure the win.
The P-G duo of Lane Lee and Cam Verhoff led the offensive charge with Lee pouring in a game high 19. Verhoff tallied 12 points over the final three periods. Cory Gerten swished two 3-pointers, Adam Buell chipped in 4 points, and Chase Meyer added 3.
