Decatur's Jason Young led his team with 19 points.
The teams exchanged leads multiple times during the game, which saw the Decatur jump out to an early lead in the first quarter.
However, the Lancers fought back and trailed by only a point at halftime. The third quarter started with a backdoor lob to Johnson, who packed it over a defender and was fouled. Later, he found himself free for a breakaway dunk.
