During the break, Saperstein devised a strategy to contain Mikan. Louis "Babe" Pressley joined Tatum in guarding Mikan who, double-teamed, was held to 9 points in the second half. By the end of the third quarter, the score was tied at 43. Late in the fourth quarter, both Pressley and Tatum fouled out, but the Globetrotters managed to hang on, tying the score again at 59-59 with 90 seconds left. Then Marques Haynes, the Globetrotter's dribbling wizard, took over and ran more time off the clock. There was no shot clock then — once in a prior game, when two teammates had fouled out, Haynes dribbled the entire fourth quarter to preserve a one-point lead.
