Everyone will be watching Home United after their game last night when they beat Singapore Schools 76-61 at Yuhua CC.
Singapore Schools, who hasn’t lost any game in this campaign is the favourite to win over Home United. They were leading in the first and second quarter but with Home United closely contested.
Home United started off the third quarter strongly and managed to overtake Singapore Schools. They were leading by 9 points at one time but their defensive error and lapse of concentration conceded some precious points. The game tied at 49-49 at the end of third quarter.
The game was like a race, Home United keeping pace with their opponent. In the last quarter, they started to push up their defence. Singapore Schools conceded quite a few turn-over that allows Home United to stretch their lead.
Mitchell was excellent throughout the game. Singapore Schools was unable to stop him from scoring. His contribution from the 3-point line and driving into the paint were constant threat to the opponent. He’s simply unstoppable last night. No.7 Xavier and No.6 Ziqi successfully converted a couple to 3-pointers in the second half were the turning point of the game.
No.4 Runchao and No.9 Jason Wong were also outstanding in their defence. With No.10 Jeryl Yee shutting out SS’s No.10, and Mitchell keeping SS’s No.7 quiet throughout the game, Singapore Schools doesn’t seems to able to score from the guards. No.6 Ziqi and No.14 Qiang Sen did well against their post players, but the latter was unfortunately fouled out in the third quarter.
It was a great night for the Home United camp when the final whistle blown. They extended their winning streaks to 5 games and put Singapore Schools unbeaten record in this tournament to an end. Their next big test will be against Tagawa. Can they create another upset? All eyes will be on them now.
