Buffalo began to find the momentum it left in the locker room during the half as they quickly took back a two-point lead. Buffalo's Kourtney Brown increased the Bulls' lead to 60-56 with a layup with just 6:13 remaining.
The battle continued as the lead volleyed between both teams. However, a jump shot and layup by Jackson initiated Miami's nine-point turn around putting them back ahead, 69-65.
Buffalo's Brown rifled back with a shot beyond the arc putting the Bulls down just one with one minute left.
Fouled in the last 19 seconds, a confident Schone solidified Miami's victory by sinking both free throws to end the game.
"It needs to be just like a natural free throw, you can't think about it," Schone said. "No negative thoughts going through my mind."
Leininger, Jackson, Schone and Hawkins all finished the game with double-digit points as Leininger posted her third double-double in the past four games with 11 points and 13 rebounds.
"We are a young team and we still have room to grow," Fantanarosa said. "I see improvement everyday, which makes us all optimistic."
In search of another season sweep, the 'Hawks return to action Sunday as they face the Ohio Bobcats in Athens, Ohio.
