Dillon hit back to back three pointers to open the second half as the Griffins built their lead to 53-35.  Drew Green's three pointer five minutes into the second half extended the Griffins lead to twenty points.  The lead extended to twenty one points before the Redhawks made one last run at the Griffins.  They got to back within eleven points at 64-53 with eleven minutes left in the second half.  

The rest of the half, the Griffins held a lead of between 13 and 19 points as they were able to win their fourth straight.
