"" Imma murder this man!" Proof yelled to a roaring crowd in 8 Mile. After a slew of personal disses, he ended his surgical slaughter with a "You don't belong, you're a tourist/So put your hockey sticks and baseball bat away/Cause this here Detroit, 16 Mile Road is that away, that away." Proof continued to taunt Eminem to get the hell out of The Shelter."
"'This is Sauga. The 401 West is that away, that away' may not quite have the same ring, but the 905 dismantled the Cruise with similar surgical precision, effectively choking their scoring efforts in the third quarter. Motor City had 11 points with more turnovers (eight) than they had in the first half. Brice Williams missed a wide-open corner 3 at the end, going 0-for-3 from downtown after going 2-for-4 in the first half."
"The 905 came into the third quarter down five and dropped 35 points. Tyson Degenhart completed two and-ones, including this miracle floater as he fell into the baseline. After a quiet 18 minutes the day before, TD had a 24-point game performance in 36 minutes. David Roddy, who scored 26 points the day before, had nine of his 14 points in the third, with an exclamation two-handed dunk to end the quarter."
The 905 won dominantly despite receiving no help from their NBA parent club, with eight players. The Motor City Cruise used three assignment players from the Detroit Pistons — Wendell Moore Jr., Chaz Lanier, and Bobi Klintman — and rolled an 11-man rotation. The 905 turned the third quarter into a rout, scoring 35 points while holding the Cruise to 11 points and forcing eight turnovers. All three assignment players combined for zero points. Tyson Degenhart scored 24 points with two and-ones and a contested floater; David Roddy added 14 with nine in the third and a two-handed dunk. The 905 continued aggressive defense in the fourth, forcing Matthew Moncrieffe into a fourth foul in 15 minutes.
