January 26, 2017

RIPTIDE:

The Riptide bounced back from a pair of losses to get themselves back into the win category after decisively beating the Highlanders 105-87 in their last outing. They now turn their attention to the unbeaten Halifax Hurricanes who are the team to beat in the Atlantic Division marking the first time these clubs will face one another. Expect this game to have a playoff feel in this early part of the season as these clubs battle for division bragging rights.

Projected Starting Lineup:

Halifax has been on a mission to established their dominance since the season started and after their first nine games have stamped themselves as the best team in the league. Their win streak was in jeopardy in their previous game against the Highlanders and an overtime frame was needed to preserve their unblemished record proving a few things:

1) The Hurricanes are a complete that gets contributions from the starters and the bench;

2) They can win in a variety of ways;

3) The champs will see everyone's best every outing
