After each team failed to score on the next possession, Dennis found McArthy for a key three-pointer with 2:01 remaining.  After a Harding free throw, Green scored a quick layup to extend the lead to 62-56 with 1:39 remaining, and the Bucs were 8-of-9 from the charity stripe in the final minute and a half to stretch the lead back out, with a Green fastbreak dunk putting the exclamation point on the victory in the final seconds.
