Fisher took its first lead since the opening moments of the game on the second possession of the second half and led by four points at 48-44 on a 3-pointer from Chaz Lott midway with just over 10 minutes left.
 
The Bengals, however, responded with a 12-1 run over the next six minutes to take the lead for good and never relinquished the advantage.
