WE ARE PHOENIX!
Parmer reports after game 1:
As a team we came into this game thinking about defense as our anchor. Coach preached better defense in the many practices leading up to this game against Shimane. He knew they were a talented team even though there record didn't show it. They came out at the start of the game and played very aggressive defense. I say hands down the best defense we've seen so far from any opponent in this years BJ League. We fell behind quickly in the 1st quarter by as many as 13 points.We battled back in the 2nd frame to take a 1 point league into halftime. In the 2nd half the game proved to be a game of runs, which is usually the case in many close basketball games. The game went into overtime and our experience as a team that has fought in many battles this year and came out on top proved to seal the deal, we were yet again victorious.

Parmer reports after game 2:
From the beginning of the game I knew this was going to be a low scoring defensive battle type of game. It showed from the start with many miscues on offensive whether it was via turnovers or smothering defense that caused many miss shots or missed opportunities. At halftime we had dug ourselves a 4 point hole which in turn prompted our coach to chew off our heads at halftime about not running the offense like we're accustomed to doing. He stressed that we did not play as a team in the 1st two quarters, and if we wanted to win we needed to play Phoenix basketball. We came out in the 3rd quarter and made a consistent effort in doing what we needed to get our swagger back and play like we knew we were capable of playing. We built a 13 point lead in the 4th quarter. Shimane didn't seem to give up and made a couple of runs to cut into the lead but we made our free throws and sealed the victory in the end.
Game 28: Hamamatsu Phoenix 67-60 Shimane Susanoo Magic
