Perak U16 part 2

Cagers + 2 won their third game against Eric Sports of Taiping 69 - 59 in the Perak U16 tournament. They played well to contain the bigger opponents. They managed to hit 8 3-pointers in the game. The town folkes were surprised to see Cagers + 2 played so well.


The last group game was against HNL of Taiping. The Cagers couldn't overcame the size different and HNL used them effectively to control the board and pound the Cagers + 2 inside. The Cagers lost badly at the half, they fought back in the the third quarter to narrow the score to single digit. Cagers maintained the pressure tp unsettle HNL. They couldn't sustained the tempo and HNL hit 3 quick 3-pointers to subdue the Cagers. Cagers lost 47 - 69.

It was a good tournament for the Cagers. They were up against bigger opponents. They will be facing the same styled opponents in the Nationals later. The Cagers learnt to defend against bigger oponents. It will be useful in the Finals later.
