We played a 5-in-5-out rotation. Although we were missing a lot of "make-able" shots early, we were clearly in control and our 5-in-5-out rotation enabled us to maintain a high level of play consistently, whilst steadily wearing the opponent down.

Our early missed shots and especially missed free throws allowed the opponent to stay close early. 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter we were still just holding onto an 8-point lead. However, with their stamina steadily wearing down, Prosport lost focus and enabled our 1st unit to pad up our lead to 16 points by the end of the 3rd quarter (71-55). We started the 4th quarter with the 2nd unit and managed to go on another 14-4 run (85-59) and the rout was finally on! The 1st unit returned and pushed the intensity even further and closed out the game on a commanding 19-7 run. Final score : 104-66.

Ching, as usual had a BIG game, with 36 points, 18 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals, and an Efficiency Rating of 60! Phang meanwhile was doing a fantastic job distributing the ball and racked up a team leading 7 assists, whilst scoring 10 points as well. Sem and Ming Lip also chipped in 18 and 13 points respectively. We were able to maintain a good, fast paced game throughout, pushing back against every score by the opponent, enabling us to get 72 points in the paint, with 30 of those points coming on fast breaks!! Well done Ex-UM!
