In the second half the Pilots picked up the pace on the perimeter, knocking down 4-of-6 behind the three-point line in claiming the two-point win.

Portland nearly let the victory slip away with a mere 10-of-22 shooting at the free-throw line, but managed to stay ahead by holding Nevada to 4-of-17 behind the three-point line and forcing 18 turnovers on the night.
