Box Score The Nipissing Lakers were looking to end the weekend on a positive note as they hosted the second of two matchups against the Ottawa Gee Gees.

Friday, the Gee Gees picked up a convincing over the Lakers, who were looking to respond.

In the end, Saturday's final went to the Gee Gees, who claimed the victory by a final of 73-45.

The opening quarter saw the Lakers get off to a strong start, dictating the play early and shooting well on the offensive side of things.

Despite trailing 9-8 early, the Lakers stormed back to grab a lead of 18-15 after 10 minutes.

Ottawa outscored Nipissing 7-0 early in the second quarter to take a 22-18 lead over the Lakers midway through the quarter.

Nipissing hung tough down the stretch in the first half, but it was Ottawa who took a lead to the break, up 32-25 after 20 minutes of play.

Much like Friday night, the Gee Gees used a big third quarter to separate themselves from the Lakers as they built up a 56-33 lead, outscoring Nipissing 24-8 in the quarter.

The Lakers held their own in the fourth, but didn't have enough left in the tank to mount a comeback as the Gee Gees added to their advantage, winning the quarter 17-12 and ending the weekend with the win.
