The Atlanta Aliens flexed their muscles and took control immediately with their defensive pressure forcing multiple turnovers and regaining the lead by halftime. In the second half, the Aliens never lost their lead and slowly pulled away for the victory. The Aliens had six different players with 20pts or more.
