The rest of the game wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, as Lassen offered a strong defense, scoring more points than the Rams in the fourth quarter. But it was never enough to challenge the Rams’ lead.

Props to Stacey Angel-Haro-20 who committed plenty of time on court to leading round 1 and getting ahead at round 2.
