Their opponents had top scorers too, and they were; Chris O ( 22 ) , & Brendon W ( 12 ) . Dellys Disciples Were taken by surprise at the start as the Kings had it rolling from the get-go with Chris and Brandon doing the damage..Chris was on fire from the mid-range and making the defence pay for not rotating, Brendon was big time inside and collected many fouls and shots which made all the difference on the offensive end as they put a great first half together leading by nine after 20 minutes...
But in the second half it was time for Tynan Connor and Tommy to step up and they did in a big way combining for 37 points this game sparking some scoring runs which allowed them to outscore the Kings by 9 points enabling them to force an overtime.
