Cliff would settle down and go on a 12-3 run, forcing Siam to call a timeout with 6:34 remaining in the first half. Cliff would finish the half with a 26-21 lead.

Both teams traded baskets until Siam erased the deficit and tied the game at 38 with 6:56 remaining. With 1 minute left, Cliff had a 2-point lead and the ball. All that was left now was for Cliff to make their free throws. Siam fouled Dan Sabrinski with 18 seconds on the clock and trailing by 3. Dan sank both shots and Cliff had a 5-point lead. Siam quickly pushed the ball up the court and scored two points.

Once again Sabrinski was on the line with a chance to help his team, this time with 7 seconds remaining. But he missed the front end of a 1+1. Siam got the rebound and Raul Robles took a desperation halfcourt shot which fell short. Cliff would be crowned champion with a 47-44 victory. Ciiff was led by Sahrinski’s 11 points and 2 rebounds while Siam was led by Robel’s 17 points.
