The Capitanes dominated the first half of the game, 41-32, with a second quarter score of 27-10. Quebradillas, who had won the first quarter 22-17 only scored one field goal during the first 7:30 minutes of the second quarter. Arecibo had a 15-3 run and took the lead 32-25 during that time. There was also poor shooting efficacy in field goals, as both teams scored less than 42% of their shots during that half. The Piratas made a comeback in the third quarter with an 11-0 rally which closed the game to 44-43 with 5:52 to go. Six consecutive points from the Piratas allowed them to take the lead 52-46, while Arecibo suffered from foul trouble, particularly Danilo Pinnock, who already had three fouls. Quebradillas entered the last quarter with a 56-55 lead. In the last four minutes of the game, Peter John Ramos took control of the game for the Piratas, scoring five consecutive points, including a three-point play which gave his team a definitive lead of 72-71 with 1:50 to play. Ramos and P. J. Tucker scored two free throws each to seal the victory with 17 seconds. Quebradillas had a 10-2 run during the last minutes of the game, and Guillermo Díaz was the only Arecibo player to score during the last three minutes of the game, finishing with 21 points. Arecibo also relied too much on their three-point shooting, making only 9 of 31 attempts for a 29% average. Ramos finished the game with 27 points and 14 rebounds, while Darius Washington had 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists to lead Quebradillas.
