MOSCOW — Ben Zubaly scored 14 points for the Hawks, who kept within reach in the first half before things got away in the second half of a 4A Inland Empire League loss to the Bears at Bear Den.

Brayden Decker scored 22 points and Gabe Quinnett added 19 points for Moscow (13-3, 3-0 4A IEL), which clinched the league title with the win.

“Decker put us on our heels and Quinnett does what he does,” Lakeland assistant coach Tom Neilson said. “Their pressure on us was very good tonight. We had a hard time moving the ball and getting it where we wanted. Ben did a good job of getting to the rim and moving the ball.”

Lakeland (6-9, 1-2) travels to Lewiston on Saturday.
