Saints kept close to their opponents in the first low scoring period but were down 14 12. Wolves big men dominated the boards at both ends, and Saints were guilty of far too many turn-overs, allowing the home side to score several quick break points, and giving Wolves a 35 29 lead at the half. Saints rallied to hit the first 5 points in the third period, only for Wolves to come back with an 8 0 run, and they lead 54 45 going into the final quarter. Saints never looked like clawing their way back into the game, and were slow getting back on defence, and ended up losing 71 61, a disappointing start to the new year.

Saints looked quite comfortable in the opening 10 minutes, taking it 17 21, with Jim Rose making 4 of 5. The second quarter was a series of missed shots, with neither team taking control of the game, but Saints still up 29 33 going into the break. Sabres took the third period 15 13 after another series of missed lay-ups from both teams. The final quarter was very tense for all, with the home side scoring 9 unanswered points, giving them a 53 47 lead after 3 minutes, Saints closed the gap to 1 point in the 9th minute, but Sabres held on for the win, giving them the head to head by 1 point. Saints came away with two further injury worries, and feeling they had the worst of some refereeing decisions, but aware that they had not played their best, lacking some intensity.
