The Raiders led 14-0 to start the game, but the Chucks got it back to 18-17 by early in the second quarter. However, the Raiders never relinquished the lead and retained the Chuck Daly/Larry McManigle Traveling Trophy for winning the season series.
The trophy honors the relationship forged by the former Chucks and Raiders coaches from the late 1950s and early 1960s before Daly went on to establish a Hall of Fame coaching career in the NBA that included two titles with the Detroit Pistons and a gold medal with the U.S. “Dream Team” of 1992.
Aaron Park made all nine of his shots from the field and scored 18 points and seven rebounds to lead the Raiders, who converted on 30 of 45 shots. Jace Miner scored 12 of his 13 points in the third quarter and Robert Keth finished with 10 points. Jack Krug made all four of his shots and finished with nine points.
Nick Humble scored 15 points for the Chucks, 12 of them coming in the first half. Micah Kriebel finished with 12 points.
