These guys are going at it. The refs are letting them play and the fans are into the game on every whistle.
Islanders coach Ed Pepple is ticked off and calls a timeout. They trail by 1 point, 19-18 and that's not acceptable. Cleveland's athleticism is creating some problems for MI and they are turning the ball over and leaving guys open.
The MI cheerleaders rarely stop for a break and their side of the stands are packed. They aren't just about tradition, they expect to win.
But so does Cleveland. Sexton Brown has hit three 3-pointers and has 11 points.
Another turnover, another second chance for Cleveland. Finally MI answers and they trail 22-20 with 1:30 left in the half.
