The Bears were in the game throughout the first half, taking their largest lead at 27-24 after a 15-5 run during which Baker had 8 points including a 3. The Bears took their last lead on a Kenny Otieno steal and dunk with 2 minutes remaining and the teams went to halftime knoted at 40. The teams meet again this evening. Box Score
