GREENSBORO - The Motor City Cruise (15-12) used a dominant third quarter and a record-tying shooting stretch from Brice Williams to knock off the Greensboro Swarm (19-9), 133–118, Saturday night at Novant Health Fieldhouse. 

The Cruise offense was balanced throughout the night, placing four players in double figures. Isaac Jones led the way with a game-high 34 points on 15-of-22 shooting while adding 15 rebounds.

After trailing by two at halftime (63-61), the Cruise opened the period with a 10–4 burst, followed by three consecutive three-pointers from Brice Williams. The guard knocked down six 3-pointers in the period, tying a Cruise franchise record for most made threes in a single quarter. Williams finished with 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, connecting on seven 3-pointers overall. The surge pushed Motor City in front for good and sparked a 42–26 third quarter that turned a tight contest into a double-digit Cruise lead heading into the fourth (103-89).

Motor City maintained control in the final frame, pushing its lead to as many as 18 points while finishing with 17 made 3-pointers and 30 assists as a team.
