Despite having the worst record in the OTE, the Cold Hearts advanced to the semifinals after defeating the Blue Checks in game three of a best-of-three basketball series.

The Cold Hearts lost game one by two points and rebounded with an eight-point win in game two before pulling off a 97-88 victory Sunday at home.

Blue Checks' star Kaden Magwood missed the final minutes after being ejected for throwing punches. The Cold Hearts took control of the game, and Omari Chaudhry’s shot sealed the win. Diamant Blazi played a key role on defense, while Marcus Gillespie led the offense.

The Cold Hearts will next face the YNG Dreamerz as they look to continue their underdog run.
