WILMINGTON, Del. (Interstat) — In a high-octane G League shootout that saw 17 lead changes and was decided in the final seconds, the Delaware Blue Coats edged the Westchester Knicks 125-122 on Wednesday afternoon at 76ers Fieldhouse.

The game’s most critical sequence unfolded in the final minute with the outcome hanging in the balance. After Westchester’s Pacome Dadiet converted a layup with 44 seconds remaining to cut Delaware’s lead to 123-122, the Blue Coats called a timeout to set up a final possession. Out of the break, Saint Thomas’s inbound pass was intercepted by Westchester’s Dink Pate, giving the Knicks a chance to take the lead with 23 seconds left.

Westchester used a timeout to advance the ball and design a play. The ball found its way to Dillon Jones, whose 25-foot 3-point pull-up jump shot as time expired missed the mark, securing the narrow victory for the home team.

The contest was a tale of contrasting offensive surges. Both teams exploded for 32 points in a frenetic first quarter, setting the tone for a afternoon of minimal defensive resistance. Delaware seized control in the second period, outscoring Westchester 40-17 to build a 72-49 halftime advantage. The Blue Coats’ ball movement was exceptional, led by point guard Kennedy Chandler, who orchestrated the offense from his Bel Aire, Kansas, hometown.

Westchester refused to capitulate. The Knicks chipped away in the third quarter, matching Delaware’s 33 points, and then unleashed a 40-point fourth-quarter barrage to storm back into contention. T.J. Warren, the veteran small forward from Durham, North Carolina, and center Trey Jemison were central to the rally, attacking the rim and capitalizing on second-chance opportunities.

Delaware’s composure held in the face of the furious comeback. Chandler, listed at 6-foot-1 and 178 pounds, steadied his team with timely baskets and free throws down the stretch. Forward DeAndre Williams of Houston provided a versatile scoring punch, while the interior presence of center Ibrahim Cisse helped mitigate Westchester’s paint attacks.

The win improved Delaware’s record to 18-20, while Westchester fell to 10-29. The two teams are scheduled for a quick rematch at the same venue on Friday night.

The game lived up to its pregame statistical projection, which heavily favored the Blue Coats, but the Knicks’ resilient second-half performance made it a far closer affair than the first-half blowout suggested. The final, chaotic minute—featuring a critical turnover and a last-second missed shot—was the fitting climax to a game defined by relentless offense and momentum swings.
