In any game, history don't really play a part. Stackers must surely agree on this. They beat Home United with the score 55-44. One of their biggest win against Home United in recent years.
Home United went in strong in the 1st quarter leading 6-5 at the start of the match. However, poor defending and passing leads to numerous unnecssary take-over made Home United pay for their sloopy play. Stackers counter them with fastbreaks and took a lead 14-8 at the end of 1st quarter.
Stackers deploy a 3-2 zone defence hit Home United right on the spot. Home United players simply can't make any shots outside the paint. Home United's No.4 and No.12 were the only players who made the basket. But their play were too predictable, they only drives towards the basket. 2nd quarter was a quarter of missed chances and bad passing from both sides. In the last 30 seconds of the half, stackers No.8 made a 3-point basket and push the lead to 30-20 at the end of 2nd quarter.
Home United started to step on the pedal a little bit in the 3rd quarter, they managed to put in some nice set play and was trailing by 4 points with 5:42 left on the clock. At the end of 3rd quarter, Home United trail by 6 points with the score 34-40.
Stackers up the pace in the last quarter. No.13 hit a 3 and push the lead to 7 points with the score 43-36 with 7:15 left on the clock. It was Stackers no.5 who stole the show for a minute. She was the one pulling down all the rebounds for stackers and made thing really difficult for Home United. Home United did not give up. No.4 came dashing into the paint and scored. Trailing by 6 points, Home United deployed a full court press in anticipation that the opponent would fumble and made turnovers.
The full court press was not effective. They did not help out each other, instead they were just man-marking their own man. A screen and their man was free from marking. Stackers made the final 3 point shot of the last quarter and they won the game with the score 55-44.
A Stacker's player was so delighted that she kept chanting... "We beat Home U, We beat Home U"
So it was left with the last match that Home U need to win against T-net to enter the second round.
