“We learned (from last week). We knew we had to play these guys man to man. They are one of the best teams. We knew we had to dig it out.”
The Heat will meet Kaohsiung Truth of Chinese Taipei on February 11 in the last elimination round meeting. Meanwhile, the Alab will head back to Singapore on February 12 to face the Slingers for the fourth time.
