Congrats Shawn on the huge 86-64 win against Hamm. The winning streak continues. Is the team getting better each week?

Thank you. Yes for sure, but we’re still not exactly where we want to be but definitely on the right track and the wins prove that.

The defense continues to be solid. What steps has it taken in the last 3 games?

The coaches have just been stressing to us that we have got to be better on defense and we’re really locking into that right now because we know at the end of the season defense wins championships.

Talk a little about the 40 minutes. Was the team in control from start to end?

Yeah we were in control the whole game I would say. Hamm went on runs here and there but we made sure that they wouldn’t come back and change the game like they did the last game against us.

Is it fair to say that defense won this game? Hamm had awful shooting percentages.

Yes for sure. We put much pressure on their key guys and made every shot difficult and gave them nothing easy. Plus, we got much help from our shooters who knocked down 3’s time and time again.

Finn-Luca Philipp had a huge game with 18 points. What does his game bring to the team?

Finn is an absolute sniper shooter and when he gets hot, there’s nothing he can’t make. We just tried to keep him confident and make sure he knows we want him taking these shots and we trust his decisions.

You had another great game with 30/7/9/3. How good does filling the stat sheet feel like?

It feels good just to get the win but I enjoy what I do on the court and I don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.

You had 1 turnover. What did you do better with the ball this game?

I believe I controlled the game better and took advantage of every possession and made the right choices with the ball.

You next play against the 9-8 Lowen. You lost the first game 77-67. I can imagine this game will be different. What will you have to do to keep the winning streak going?

Just continue to do what we’ve been doing that got us 8 wins in a row. This is another big test for us and we get to play in front of our home crowd again so we’ll be ready for sure.

Thanks Shawn for the chat.
