Last Time Rattlers Played Bulldogs
The game remained close through the first half as both teams went into the locker room tied at 30. The Rattlers would go on a 28-13 run in the second half to take their largest lead of the game with a 58-43 score, but the Bulldogs went on their own 14-4 run late to bring the game within five. A couple of free throws from
MJ Randolph sealed the game before the Bulldogs hit a meaningless three to give a final score of 65-60.
The Rattlers shot above 50% from the field and 50% from three, as
Johnny Brown was the Rattlers' main three-point threat going 4-5 from deep.
