GB turned the 17 Parkside turnovers into 22 points, while also getting 38 points from its bench. Trevian Bell added 9 points and Will Chevalier scored 6 off the bench.

The Phoenix shot a season-high 55.7 percent (34-for-61) from the field, with all 10 players to play in the game scoring at least 2 points.

It's a quick turnaround for Green Bay, who will host Rockford on Monday night at 7 p.m. back at the Resch Center.
