Through the first and second halves and four 5-minute overtime periods, Ransom never checked out of the game. Finally, with 90 seconds left in the fifth OT and the Bears on their way to a 107-102 victory, Ransom took a seat. But only because he fouled out.
He wound up with a career-high 36 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while playing 63 1/2 minutes, still a program record. Ransom, who was killed in a freeway shooting in Oakland two years ago, fouled out with 90 seconds left.
