After a tight first half, the Reds ran away in the third quarter, gaining an 18 point margin, the Yellow &amp; Blue tried to make a comeback effort in the fourth quarter but fell short, recording their fourth domestic league loss of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> \t<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Wilbekin finished the night as the top scorer with 22 points, Tyler Dorsey added 17, and Othello Hunter contributed 14 points.
