Gamaun Boykin scored 22 points on the night going 50 percent from the field. He was 6-7 from the charity stripe and added five rebounds to go along with two assists.

Spence (15), Wilfried Balata (10), Julian Roche (15), and Jordan Muir-Keung (12) were also all in double digits on the night. As a team, The Clan shot 61.4% from the field.
