The much anticipated match ended with Whye Nam criusing pass Home United with the score 66-48. Whye Nam proved too strong for Home United when they practically killed the game in first quarter leading by 22-5 at the end of the quarter.
It's not easy for any team to come back from behind after trailing by so many points. Home United tried hard to fight back but were unable to close the gap. Although Home United win the second quarter by 1 point, 14-13, it was not enough to bring the game back. Whye Nam win the 3rd quarter by another 20-14 run, throwing Home United really back behind.
Maybe what is worth mentioning was Home United fighting spirits. Though falling behind, they fought hard to come back. They were once trailing by 12 points. It's a pity that they were unable to overcome Whye Nam fastbreak. It the end, Whye Nam won the game 66-48.
Judging by Home United performances in the first round. They were to slow to start off in every game, which is a killer to any team. Today match was another good example. It also show that they were unable to cope with big match pressure. Or maybe ladyluck was not on their side. The shooting percentage were way too low.
It's going to be an uphill task for them as they were drawn against Singapore Schools, Tagawa and Woodlands Ring Sec in the last 8. Now it's a test of mental strenght. Home United boys must look up and play extremely hard for every match to pogress further. Most importantly, is to stay focus right from the start. Come on Home United... It's all in your mind to take on any opponent and win them.
