In Saturday's match-up, the 1st half proved to be our half. We played well in all aspects of the game that helped us to a 14 point lead. The 2nd half was a different story. We came out and played very flat. We had too many defensive breakdowns. Many breakdowns that lead to Saitama getting open 3-point shots and us giving up numerous dribble penetrations and easy lay-ups. If it wasn't for what we did as a team in the 1st half, the game would have been a lot closer than what it was. All in all we came out with another victory.
From beginning to end this was a great game for us. It was fun to play and to watch as well. As coach always preaches to us we played Phoenix basketball. Our defense and rebounding was the main key. We had a huge advantage on the boards being that a lot of times Saitama was forced to play with smaller players on the court to try and speed up the pace of the game so they could cut into the lead. It didn't seem to work for them. From the 1st man to the 12th man on our team, everyone got playing time which was fun to see. The crowd enjoyed watching the players who usually do not get many minutes on our team play, and play well might I add. Coach was very pleased with the effort in which we put forth on the court for the entire game. It was a great win!!! GO PHOENIX!!!
Thank you to all the fans that supported us and continue to support Phoenix!
