Sweet Revenge!

After two blowout losses in the eliminations to the Unilab team, we were finally able to beat them. It was a tremendous feat for Adidas as we lost to Unilab by an average of 10 points in our first two meetings. Getting a win was satisfying because we haven't tasted victory in a long time. But to beat them in a knockout semfinal match at that, the win was infinitely sweeter. That meant advancing to the next round to meet second-seeded Accenture, effectively ending Unilab's season.

I expected a closely fought match, as our previous games against them were tightly-contested ones. They just managed to pull away in the last quarter of both games. That's why the score doesn't reflect how good the games were played. This game was tight from the get-go. We had an early 6-0 lead to start off the first quarter. We went cold from then on as they made a strong 12-0 blast with the quarter ending 12-6 in their favor. The game was close from then on. Unilab held a two point lead going into the fourth quarter, 30-28. We pulled away using a strong run in the middle of the fourth, with three clutch treys from our wingmen. We managed to keep them in check and hold on for the double-digit victory. I'm not sure of the final score, but I know it wasn't close.

Great game for Adidas. The magical run continues.
