The game started with neither one of the sides allowing its opponent to create a <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">safety<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"> distance until the fourth quarter where Thomas Cole Pargo and Kane came big to take the win locking their sights at game four where they can secure their F4 spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \t&#8220;The difference in the second half was our\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">defense<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&#8221; said coach Spahija, &#8220;Every time we make the extra effort on defense something good comes out of it, but I think we can be better. It bothers me we&#8217;re not aggressive enough, because you win big games with defense. In the next <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">game<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"> I want to see the same offense and a better defense&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> \t&#8220;It&#8217;s that time of the year, playoff time, it&#8217;s the time I look forward\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">to<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&#8221; said Norris Cole who finished the game with 15P and 6A, &#8220;Our team put a great effort tonight and that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s gonna take for us to advance. I like to play the playoffs, I&#8217;m used to <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">play<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"> the playoffs in the NBA, this time of the year is very important and I enjoy it. Tonight we won, we have one more game we have to focus on and that&#8217;s the focus right now to play a good game and finish them out that&#8217;s the goal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> \t&#8220;The defense at the second half, we played better and much more intense, we were more alert so that was the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">key<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&#8221; said Michael Roll &#8220;We were more focused in the second half and we rebounded the ball a little bit better.

We need to go out and play a little better so that&#8217;s the key.
