Tyler Amaya chipped in with 18 points and a dozen boards, while Deng Awak had 16 points and Clay Crellin scored 12. Montell Lindgren added 10 assists.

The team is back in action on May 19 when they host the Quad City Flames on the Dragons’ home floor at the David E. Enarson Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

The Dragons were off this past weekend but in their previous game, they hammered the Bellingham Bulls 115-79.
