The Windy City Bulls were triumphant over the Greensboro Swarm 115-110 Friday night. Windy City forward Kevin Knox II led all scorers with a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds.

The game began with cold shooting from both sides, with each team shooting below 40%. Despite the slow start the Bulls ended the first quarter up by five. The Swarm then went on a 9-0 run early in the second to get within one, but the Bulls held off the Swarm and extended their lead by as much as 10 and kept the lead going into halftime.

The tide began to turn in the third. Led by 11 points by Swarm forward Keyontae Johnson, Greensboro went on multiple runs, ending on an 18-6 run to close the quarter up by 15. Facing a double-digit deficit, Windy City rallied in the final period.

Bulls forward/center Giorgi Bezhanishvili caught fire in the fourth with 15 points. A 3-pointer by Knox II followed by a layup under the basket by Windy City guard Ryan Woolridge gave the Bulls the bounce-back lead. Outscoring the Swarm by 20 in the period, the Bulls held on in the final minutes to finish with the win.
