RI 28 - 41 SAS
8:48 PM

Everybody would've expected us to lose. but the scoreline really doesn't tell much of the onslaught going on then. We went into the game mentally unprepared. we gave them many slips here and there, getting our own asses burnt and there wasn't much help. on the offensive end, we made several turnovers; mispasses and losing the ball when posts continuously attempted to dribble downcourt after getting rebounds. the home team, on the other hand, made full use of their offensive chances and scored many of the trips they made downcourt. to top that off, i fouled them several times on their drive to the basket, which they finished well anyways, giving them numerous and1s. In the end of the first half, they seemed ready to knock us out of all hopes of a come back. Even coach too, was feeling the frustration by then. we were then down 31-10. astonishing scoreline.

We came into the 2nd half feeling uncertain. but our play was about to get intense. we began putting  pressure on our men. resulting in a couple of turnovers, which let us close the gap by a little bit. we put in a last stroke of effort into the last quarter, and so did SAS. the game was scoreless for at least a full 4 minutes into the last quarter, again due to several turnovers. but at the end of the 2nd half, we did lead them 18-10. but it simply was too late for ammendments. 

Learning points:
- Look to pass after getting rebound, be slow to dribble.
- for PGs, swing the ball to the wings soon.
- Bao wo every possession, make full use of our offenses.
- finally, we should put in our all throughout the whole game, not just when we are losing a lot. it would've been too late to change anything.
- posts must screen fast when running boxes.
- pressure your guy even when he's without the ball. 

On a sidenote, we have 2 matches next week. i tink tues against WRS and thurs dno who. Tmr playing Choa Chu Kang Pri won't be there, Jia Yous!!!
