- We'll go m2m defense, double on Young. Also, we'll shift to heavy inside
[INDENT]We got off to another good start at the half, with a 12-2 run. HAMP was able to get back with their off rebounding; we'll max out on def rebounding crash. Up 47-41, 12:07. We led by 9, but turn overs betrayed us again. Up 52-51, 7:12. This has been a pattern of our games: we get a lead, our opponent rallies and when they do, they would hit everything.

DELST: SG Gareth Clark drives. He score, plus a foul. Clark gets the bonus
Up 64-62, 1:55
HAMP: This time, their center settled for a jump shot and missed. Timeout
Up 64-62, 1:33
DELST: We missed on a low post play
HAMP: They score plus a foul. FT is good. Down 1. Timeout
Down 64-65, 0:53
We'll isolate on SG Gareth Clark
DELST: Clark gets the ball. Clark shoots a jumper. Missed. We get the off rebound, but also missed the follow. 0:43
HAMP: We don't need to foul, but we got called for one. 2 FTs. Split. Timeout

Notes
- We executed our game plan in the 2nd half, going more on the inside and shutting down their top scoring SG. All went to waste because of our 20 turn overs
