ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) Dante Williams scored 20 points and Kahil Felder blocked the potential game-tying shot with 1 second left as Oakland held on for an 81-79 win over Toledo on Saturday.

Corey Petros hit a short jumper to give the Golden Grizzlies (2-5) a 37-36 lead at the half and they built that to 74-60 on Ralph Hill's 3-pointer with 6:07 to go.

Johnathan Williams knocked down two 3-pointers as the Rockets (2-4) stormed back. His two free throws made it 80-79 with 43 seconds to go. After a Jalen Hayes free throw at 10 seconds, Julius Brown had a shot to tie that Felder blocked.

Petros had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Felder had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. Oakland shot 55.1 percent and hit 10 of 20 3's with Williams going 6 of 9.
