Windy City had a commanding start, dominating in the paint in the first half, putting up 42 points compared to just 28 for Rip City. Shooting 57.4% from the field, compared to the Remix’s shaky 45.1%, the Bulls extended their lead by as much as 16 points in the first 24 minutes. The Remix narrowly outscored the Bulls in the third frame 31-27, but the Bulls hung on going into the fourth with a five-point lead. Rip City took advantage of the Bulls shooting under 45% in the final frame to rally back and take the lead for the first time. In the final seconds a 3-pointer by Windy City forward Kevin Knox II put the Bulls up by one, but the Remix responded with their own three by Portland Trailblazers two-way guard Javonte Cooke to secure the win for Rip City.   

Alongside McClung, Windy City forward Kevin Knox II recorded an impressive 31 points shooting 11-for-20 from the field, sinking five threes. Chicago Bulls two-way forward/center Lachlan Olbrich had a near double-double with 16 points and seven rebounds. Chicago Bulls two-way forward Emanuel Miller rounded out double-digit performances for Windy City with 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
