In their Major Semi-Final clash last week, Flames defeated Amesii and advanced to the grand final. Flames have remained undefeated in the semi-professional basketball competition, winning 12 straight games with zero losses.
On the contrary, Amesii have registered 10 wins and tasted 2 losses. Surprisingly, their two losses came at the hands of the Flames.
Flames will be looking forwarding to maintaining their winning streak and end the 2023 campaign on a positive note, while Amesii are upbeat to seek redemption and clinch their first title in the competition.
An elated and excited Amesii’s coach, David Peter said he is happy for his team’s victory, but there are a few areas they need to work on to put a strong performance against the Flames in the decider.
“We were fighting for the grand final spot. We knew that Tamaraws were a very strong team so we sat down and did an assessment of ourselves over the last few days, and the result has shown tonight."
"Flames have defeated us twice so we have a score to settle with them. It is not going to be easy to defeat them, but we will fix little areas that need improvement and put a strong performance against the Flames in the grand final next week,” coach David Peter stated.
