Home Hardware made their quest to reach the semis a little more difficult after losing to Mackie's 76-69. 

The OrangeAde's (3-1) lead for most of the game, except for a one-minute span in the third quarter where the Home Owners took a brief 54-52 lead near the end of the third. 
However Mackie's shut them down in the fourth, breaking a 54-54 tie outscoring them 22-15. 

Taran Beekhuis got to the rim all night long scoring 24 for Mackie's, while Nic Roberts-Neef and Tai Montfort each had 17. 

Mark Cummings had 21 and Kamal Aizimi 20 in a losing cause. 

The Home Owners can still reach the semis with a win Wednesday.
