Luka Garza posed a big problem across the floor, going 6-of-6 in the first quarter to score 13 points. Garza even stepped out and knocked down a big three pointer in the first, to help Motor City lead 40-30 at the first break. Jordan Bell kept Fort Wayne in the fight in the post, hitting 4-of-5 himself to lead Fort Wayne with eight points early.<\/p>\n<p>A Cheick Diallo slam with eight minutes left in the second quarter extended Motor City&#8217;s lead to 48-34. Gabe York&#8217;s three-point shooting was a big weapon in the second quarter, but each time he hit, Motor City seemed to surge back. The Cruise led 69-57 at halftime, following a 15-point quarter from their bench. Fort Wayne had four double digit scorers in the first half, led by Darius Adams&#8217; 16 points, but the punch was just bigger from the Cruise and Garza, who added six more points in the quarter but left late in the half with an injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Mad Ants fought back in the third quarter, quickly cutting the Motor City to three, culminating with an Adams three pointer with 7:59 to play in the quarter off a Gabe York assist to make it 72-69 in the Cruise&#8217;s favor. With 5:46 left in the quarter, a York transition three after a Jordan Bell block of Garza tied the game at 76. The next Mad Ants possession, with 5:27 on the clock, a York layup gave Fort Wayne their first lead of the night at 78-76. The teams exchanged the lead for much of the rest of the quarter, with Motor City holding the advantage after three, 90-88.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth quarter again started in Motor City&#8217;s favor, building up a five-point lead as the teams exchanged baskets. With 7:09 to play, Fort Wayne regained the lead (99-98) on a basket from Bell. A Deividas Sirvydis three with 5:30 to play pushed Motor City back up 105-101 and Derrick Walton Jr. added to the lead the next Cruise possession. Fort Wayne got as close as two points at 110-108 and 113-111, but would be unable to pull back even.<\/p>\n<p>Motor City was led by Garza&#8217;s 21 points as they had seven guys finish in double figures with Walton adding 16 and Diallo posting a 15 point, 10 rebound double double. Adams&#8217; 28 points and York&#8217;s 27 led Fort Wayne while Bell posted a 17 point, 10 rebound double double.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/category\/sports\/mad-ants-basketball\/\">View more Fort Wayne Mad Ants posts on AroundFortWayne<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2007-trf\/24844.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Mad Ants at Headwaters Park East and the Three Rivers Festival.
