Part 6/7:
As the second half unfolded, both teams displayed their mettle. Georgia's defensive prowess began to take center stage as they closed down lanes and created turnovers that translated to points on the other end. Surreal and Godfrey were both crucial, providing the energy and intensity required during critical moments.
Oklahoma, striving to maintain their momentum, threw an array of challenges at Georgia’s defense. The flurry of shots from outside was a hallmark of their strategy, complemented by physical drives to the basket. Nonetheless, the Bulldogs' resilience shined through as they countered almost every basket with sharp plays of their own, maintaining a significant edge in emotional momentum and energy.
