The Eagles started strong, racing to a 12-2 lead in the first six minutes and holding a 14-7 advantage after the first quarter. Wayne maintained control through halftime, leading 26-20, and entered the fourth up by three after Cam Blankenberg’s clutch buzzer-beating three-pointer. The Reds surged ahead late, taking a 50-43 lead with under 40 seconds left, but Blankenberg sparked a dramatic comeback for the Eagles. He converted an and-one layup, then sank two crucial free throws to tie the game at 50 with 17 seconds remaining. Newark had a chance to win, but Blankenberg’s key block sent the game to overtime. In the extra period, the Reds outscored Wayne 18-13 to split the season series. This marked Wayne’s second loss in seven games after starting the season 11-0.
