Game 5:
In the game of the day, Chicago Phillips used a 14-7 2nd qtr to build a 26-18 halftime edge. Phillips was still up 33-24 midway through the 3rd when Detroit Mumford's defensive pressure forced multiple turnovers & held them scoreless for ~5 minutes as Mumford scored 11 straight to take a 35-33 lead. Phillips scored 5 straight to take the lead back at 38-35 & never gave it back.
Down the stretch, Phillips got up 48-43 when Mumford's Cherish Jefferson hit a 3 with about 0:12 left. Mumford forced a TO & had a sideline out-of-bounds with 0:02, but a long heave at the buzzer was off the mark & Phillips hung on for a 48-46 victory.
