It was the second of a two-game series between the two teams. This time, it was the Capital City Go-Go picking up a 126-123 win over the Mad Ants.<\/p>\n<p>Capital City got out to a fast start despite five quick points for the Mad Ants from Indiana Pacers assignee Terry Taylor. It was the Go-Go who built a 19-11 lead midway through the first quarter. With 5:29 to play in the quarter, a Jules Bernard reverse pushed the lead to double digits at 24-13. Fort Wayne responded, cutting the lead to 24-18 after an Eli Brooks three pointer. With 1:13 to play, a Justin Anderson and-one cut the Capital City lead to 29-28 and Jermaine Samuels Jr. would give Fort Wayne the lead with 44 seconds left in the quarter but Capital City would hold a 31-30 lead after one.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne would push their lead to five in the second quarter before a Devon Dotson basket with 5:48 to play for Capital City; Dotson would convert again the next trip to cut the Mad Ants lead to 47-46. With 2:52 to play in the half, a David Stockton three increased the lead to six but Makur Maker responded with a three of his own on the other end for Capital City. At the halftime break, Fort Wayne led 67-61 led by Trevelin Queen\u2019s 12 points. Vernon Carey and Devon Dotson each scored 11 first half points to lead Capital City.<\/p>\n<p>Kris Dunn led Capital City to start the second half, giving the Go-Go the lead back with Carey\u2019s basket with 9:04 left in the third pushing the Capital City lead to 76-69 as they started the half on a 15-2 run. The game went back and forth from there during the third quarter, with the Mad Ants closing it to 89-87 with 2:45 to go in the third on a Justin Anderson free throw. Capital City would take a 96-93 lead into the final quarter.<\/p>\n<p>With 7:47 to play, a Devon Dotson three extended a 6-0 run for Capital City; on the next trip Jules Bernard\u2019s and-one extended the Go-Go lead to 110-100. Fort Wayne would get back within four, but a Bernard hoop and foul with 4:04 left extended Capital City\u2019s lead again, this time to 109-110. With 1:52 left, a Samuels Jr. three pointer closed the gap again, now just 121-119 in Capital City\u2019s favor, answered with a Carey dunk on the other end for the Go-Go. After a Taylor block of a Maker three pointer, Fort Wayne came down with 20.8 seconds to play in a two-point game with Anderson drawing a foul and hitting two free throws to tie it at 123.<\/p>\n<p>With 2.6 seconds left, Davion Mintz got the ball off a deflection and knocked down a three pointer to give Capital City the 126-123 lead and win.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Anderson led Fort Wayne with 26 points, joined in double figures by Trevelin Queen (24), Jermaine Samuels Jr. (24), Terry Taylor (17) and Kendall Brown (15).<\/p>\n<p>The Go-Go were led by Jules Bernard\u2019s 29 points, followed by Devon Dotson (22), Vernon Carey (23), Davion Mintz (19) and Kris Dunn (19).\n<\/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.
