Road to the Finals

We faced Nova168-Inspec last week for a chance to play in the finals. We were raring to take revenge at them as they handed us our first loss a few weeks back. That defeat prompted us to go on a 2-game skid entering the knockout semifinal stage.

The game started out very competitive. Teams traded baskets throughout the first quarter. We initially led by about 10 points, only to let them come back and take an eight point lead of their own. We managed to come up with our own run to make the score close. The rest of the first half was tight as no one could really pull away.

The second half was a different story. We held our own defensively, keeping Nova168's powerful offense at bay. Our own offense flowed smoothly as we knocked down one shot after another. Our transition game was on full swing as well, as we kept running and getting easy fastbreak points. We quickly got a double-digit lead and we never looked back.

It was sweet revenge for us as we booked our ticket to the championship match to be played this Saturday.

Can't wait no longer. We're going all the way.
