QUOTABLE:
• "The outcome didn't go our way tonight, but I thought we competed very hard. We had stretches where we really guarded, and we just couldn't make enough shots from three or at the rim to get a result. We have to keep learning, developing and maturing on offense, and keep getting better every day." – head coach C.J. Haydock
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
• The Sunbirds were held to 38 percent from the floor in the opening half and found themselves trailing 38-30.
