The Black Shark dwelling in familiar territory fought back nicely to take the lead 50-48 at the end of another keenly contested session at the end of the third quarter.
It was a see saw affair in the final segment as both teams played desperately for the win. However it was the Black Sharks that steadied themselves and moved away.
The main contributors for the Black Sharks were Keenan Williams and Linden Joseph with 14 points each, while Joel Fraser contributed 10 and Royel Franklyn had 8.
Leading the fight for Smythfield Rockers was Sherman Braithwaite with 17 with support from Tyron Dey 16 and Shimroy McKenzie with 8. With the win the Black Sharks have advance to the semifinals.
