The North team continued the momentum it built at the end of the first half into the second and came out firing on all cylinders. Paced by a big quarter by Funk, the North led by as much as .30 points during the decisive third quarter and never looked back. In the meantime, the South team continued its cold shooting from beyond the arc. "We talked at the half about extending our defense and I think that made a lot of difference," Warner said.
