Meanwhile, Sylmar's three-game losing streak came to an end on Thursday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Eagle Rock and snuck past 73-71. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

The game was Lopez's sixth in a row with at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Joseph Dickson, Jr, who scored 15 points along with six rebounds.
