In the fourth, the Steelers accelerated again (24-4), with BORDONNE's team maintaining control even around the timeouts called by both benches.
Adam headlined the night with 51 points, built on 24 made two-point field goals and three free throws, a relentless inside presence that defined the game's evolution.
