Game Analysis
Dream Seeker controlled the game with strong defense and rebounding, grabbing 30 rebounds in total and limiting the opponent’s field goal percentage to 38.2%. Despite shooting poorly from beyond the arc (1/9, 11.1%), their inside penetration and free-throw shooting (53.8%) compensated for their offensive shortcomings.
On the other hand, Monarchs’ impatience in organizing plays during the later stages of the game hurt their offensive efficiency, particularly with a poor three-point shooting percentage of 16.7% (3/18). Although Chhetri Clark Jasper (#0) made several key shots, the lack of offensive support from other players prevented the team from staging a comeback.
Conclusion
Dream Seeker secured a 50-41 victory over Monarchs through consistent inside scoring, strong defense, and collective team effort. The standout performances of Chan Sing Chau (#8) and Yeung Yin Yat (#1) were crucial to their success.
While Monarchs benefited from Chhetri Clark Jasper’s (#0) brilliant offensive display, their poor three-point shooting (16.7%) and lack of organized offense were key factors in their loss. Moving forward, the team needs to improve their perimeter shooting, offensive coordination, and minimize unforced errors to better compete against their opponents.
We look forward to seeing more exciting performances from both teams in future games!
