The soldiers, who went into Game Four leading 2-1, were starring at the risk of going into the closeout Game Five after finding themselves 35-50, 40-60 and 41-60 down deep in the third quarter before staging a stunning comeback in a dramatic encounter to seal the series 3-1.
Ulinzi had to come from behind to tie the series 1-1 after losing Game One 73-75 to Thunder, and were stronger in Game Three.
