The next night didn’t go as smoothly for the Timberjacks against the Kentucky Enforcers.

It was a close game throughout, but the Enforcers wound up leaving town with a 118-112 victory.

The Timberjacks only trailed by four after the first quarter and three at halftime, but the third quarter was a big difference as they found themselves down 10 going into the final frame.
