Neopolitan faltered with 84 for the Surfers, and they now trail at the halfway mark. Max slipped up with 32 for Queens, allowing their lead to become unstable.

Ebay Center, Queens: Last week, the Flames went on the road and beat the Gems, and they want to do it again to pick up a sweep at home.

Citrus popped up with 184 for the Gems, as their team-wide slump continues. Kayla added a simple 256 for the Flames, maintaining their lead well.

Jake shot back with a fully respectable 465 for the Crowns. Oreo's recent binge ended with a meek 89 for Terrace City this time, making them a bit shakier.
