Romeo scored nine of his 26 points in overtime, first hitting a 3-pointer and then a clutch 4-pointer to give the Brewers a 121-117 lead with 2:06 left.
Marcio Lassiter, AJ Anosike and Jericho Cruz then took turns scoring to put the Gin Kings’ comeback in check. Coach Jorge Gallent’s team has thoroughly shaken off its previous 105-122 loss, the opening game of this best-of-seven series.
“We just stuck to our game plan, stuck to what we were doing in practice. Eventually those things will show up, “Galonte said, explaining the difference between the two games.
“They just got into our rhythm offensively, and I think today we did a better job defensively,” Gallant added. “In the first game, we didn’t get into an offensive rhythm, so our defense was bad because we were so disorganized on the floor.”
