Twenty-four hours later, Ipswich claimed another scalp on the road, this time downing Mackay 119-114 in overtime, with Galloway adding 10 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in the triumph.
The third-placed Force, who have a 10-3 record, next play Cairns on Sunday at JBS Stadium.

But they followed this up with an 89-80 loss to Southern Districts, in which Noi had 16 points, six boards, two dimes and one steal.
