The Chargers continued to remain scoreless over the next two minutes, but with the clock winding down Wiles took a pass across mid court and drove to the basket. Wiles's shot fell through the net as the clock sounded to end the game and give Glenburn the one point win. The basket by Wiles was the only score of the quarter for Glenburn, but it proved to be a very big score.
