Domingo boosted his teammates take the much needed win with 22 points, seven rebounds and four assists as they now stand with a 3-4 win-loss record in the tournament.
Down to two in the first quarter, the Blazers took a 13-0 run late in the second quarter capped off by a triple from Unique Naboa that turned into a 41-26 advantage.
