Led by Hunter Nemeth, Silvio Cruz, Kenny Cross, Travis Thomas, Ishmael Abass-Shereef, South River, which lost to the Heat in the two teams season opener (29-28), jumped out to a 7-2 lead, and led 26-20 late in the first half before the Heat rallied with the final six points of the period to tie the game at the half at 26-26. The Heat, Facundo Olivera, then scored 4 of the first 6 points of the second half for a 30-28 lead.
