Out of the break, Holy Trinity dug in defensively, slowing Gesu’s scoring and beginning their comeback effort, closing the gap to 38–22 with 10:50 remaining.

But Gesu’s persistence on the offensive glass proved crucial, as second-chance shots helped them regain control. Holy Trinity continued to play tough, physical defense but still trailed 42–26 with 5:30 to go. Both teams brought effort from tip-off to the final whistle, trading stops and buckets down the stretch. In the end, Gesu’s energy, rebounding, and early scoring run were enough to hold off Holy Trinity’s late push, securing a 46–32 victory.
