With 5:39 left in the opening quarter, a Keifer Sykes bucket extended the Motor City lead to 18-10, followed by a David Nwaba dunk to push the lead to double digits for the first time for the Cruise. After one, Motor City had built a 39-19 lead as Fort Wayne shot just 26.1 percent from the field compared to the Cruise\u2019s 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p>With 8:15 to play in the second quarter, a Motor City steal lead to a Ryan Turrell three pointer that pushed the Cruise lead to 51-27. The Mad Ants pushed back with 6:30 to play on a York three followed by a basket inside from Jermaine Samuels Jr. and a three from David Stockton to cut the Motor City lead back down to 20 at 57-37. With one minute to play, a ShawnDre Jones pullup pushed the Motor City lead all the way to 71-41 and they would lead 76-46 at the half behind Sykes\u2019 26 points.<\/p>\n<p>The third quarter was a back and forth affair, with Motor City going up 98-59 with 2:27 left on a Sykes dunk off the alley oop pass from Jones. After three, Motor City\u2019s lead was 102-66.<\/p>\n<p>Motor City pushed their lead to 40 with 9:20 left in the game on a Nwaba make. The Mad Ants would hit the 100 point mark with 1:35 to play on a Tevin Brown layup, but still trailed 129-100.<\/p>\n<p>The Cruise were led by Sykes\u2019 34, followed by 22 from Jones and 21 out of Reggie Perry.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the way for Fort Wayne was Anderson\u2019s 26 and a 14 point, 10 rebound outing from Samuels Jr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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.
