WILMINGTON, Del. (Interstat) — In a game defined by relentless offense and dramatic swings, the Delaware Blue Coats edged the Capital City Go-Go 122-120 in overtime on Saturday night in a G League thriller at 76ers Fieldhouse. The victory completed a two-game home sweep for Delaware after a similar overtime win against Capital City just 24 hours earlier.

The most critical sequence of the contest unfolded in the final seconds of regulation, a microcosm of the entire back-and-forth affair. With the score tied and the clock winding down, Capital City’s Nolan Hickman hit a short jumper with one second remaining, seemingly securing a road victory for the Go-Go. Delaware, however, had a final chance. Following a timeout, Saint Thomas inbounded the ball to a cutting Teddy Allen, who converted a layup as time expired to force overtime, sending the home crowd into a frenzy and deflating a Go-Go team that had fought back from a double-digit deficit.

The game was a tale of explosive quarters and key individual performances. Delaware established early momentum with a 40-point first quarter, led by the versatile play of Allen and the interior presence of Croatian forward Igor Milicic. Capital City responded behind the scoring of Alondes Williams and the activity of center Skal Labissiere, keeping pace with a 35-point period of their own. The Blue Coats’ offense, which had been so potent early, cooled in the second quarter, scoring only 22 points and allowing the Go-Go to trim the halftime lead.

Capital City continued to chip away after the break, eventually drawing even and setting the stage for the fourth-quarter drama. Both teams traded blows down the stretch, with Capital City’s Christopher Mantis and Delaware’s Saint Thomas and Aminu Mohammed making crucial shots. The Blue Coats’ ability to secure offensive rebounds, particularly from Drew Cisse and Mohammed, created vital second-chance opportunities that sustained their possessions in tight moments.

In the extra period, Delaware’s experience from the previous night’s overtime win proved decisive. Allen, who was a catalyst throughout, hit a key pull-up jumper assisted by Abou Ousmane to give the Blue Coats a two-point cushion they would not relinquish. Capital City had a final look to tie or win, but could not get a clean shot off before the buzzer.

Allen’s all-around performance was pivotal for Delaware, impacting the game with scoring, rebounding and playmaking. Saint Thomas provided steady backcourt leadership and clutch free throws, while Milicic offered a significant defensive presence and timely scoring. For Capital City, Williams carried a heavy offensive load, with Hickman facilitating and Mantis providing a spark from the perimeter.

The win improved Delaware’s record to 22 wins and 27 losses, while Capital City fell to an even 25-25. The game marked the third consecutive meeting between the teams decided by four points or fewer, underscoring the competitive nature of the matchup. The Blue Coats’ resilience in executing a last-second play to force overtime, then making the necessary plays in the extra period, defined this narrow victory.
