The Bulldogs trailed by as many as 17 early in the second half before making a run, scoring nine straight points to close to seven at 45-38 on a Montgomery lay-up with seven minutes left. But Mills sank a long three-pointer on the next possessions to put the Blue Hose up 48-38 and Asheville could get no closer.
