From the Coach:
Head Coach Lloyd Gardner praised his team's focus and execution: "After last week's rollercoaster game, we knew what to expect today and that Leicester would have made extra preparations. Today, we made sure not to repeat the mistakes from the previous game. We stayed more focused and played our game. 26 of our 33 baskets came from assists. We were also dynamic and concentrated on defence. I'm pleased with my players' performance, and I think we provided good basketball for our fans and viewers. We'll continue working hard and developing ourselves."
