The Phoenix secured a hard-fought victory, driven by an exceptional second-half performance from Allen, who netted 16 points after the break to finish with a game-high 28 points. His scoring prowess, combined with contributions from CJ O'Hara (17 points) and Mac Wrecke (14 points), proved too much for the Gaels.
Despite a strong showing from Lamin Sabally, who recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Toby Harris's 13 points for the Gaels, they were unable to maintain their early lead. The Phoenix trailed by three points at halftime but rallied effectively in the latter half.
The game saw several players deliver solid offensive numbers. Allen's efficiency from all areas of the court, including a 4 for 9 performance from beyond the arc, was a critical factor. The Gaels, now with a 5-2 record, will look to regroup after this close contest.
