5.   Billy Joe Hobert replaced Hostetler and threw two late TD passes to make the final margin respectable.

6.   A free throw by Kenny Anderson set the final margin.

7.   A goaltending call gave Anderson a fast-break layup, followed by another Pierce free throw that set the final margin.

10.   Brunson hit two more foul shots for the final margin.
