There were some signs that the Raiders were starting to rediscover themselves.
Our ball movement was much better (21 assists) and our rebounding was excellent (37-27) BUT that last quarter was a massive freezing exercise.
The fact we hung on to win was outstanding but gee whiz 😮💨

Spectres 82

Wow!
That was one hell of a fightback and one hell of a controversial finish. On the Spectres final possession, there absolutely was a foul that should’ve sent them to the line but it wasn’t called; Raiders get the ball off a miss and hang on.

A 23-14 third quarter has given us a 7 point lead going into the last however the feeling here is that the Spectres aren’t out of this game at all.
They have played hard and been great value here today.

Spectres 49 (Cranston 10, Mutimer 9)
Raiders 47 (Nunn 13, Leaupepe 8)
There is no doubt that the Spectres are up for this. They’re playing an aggressive brand and have still maintained their excellent shooting percentage here (57% to 52%)
Inside they’re causing the Raiders all problems

A high quality fast opening between these 2 teams as this one has been an end to end shootout.
Both teams are shooting very well here (Spectres 58% to Raiders 56%) with the difference being the Raiders doing their work from the 3pt line and the Spectres inside

Last week the Raiders only had 8 players and played like a very tired looking team however at a cursory glance, it looks like some reinforcements have come back.
With Mt Gambier rapidly closing the gap, a win tonight is vital for the Raiders. I see no reason why we can’t

#Target150 hasn’t finished and now turns to the men’s game.
Spectres come into this sitting 13th (8-9) and need a win to keep their finals hopes alive
Raiders sit top (14-4) but are starting to wobble hard with 3 losses in 5 games including last week’s 31 point roll over against Eltham.

They shot 20% (14/69) from the field
They shot 57% (8/14) from the free throw line
They got out-rebounded 39-51 although in their 39, they had 19 offensive boards
They had 6 assists in the whole game (Knox 19)
It was a dirty game indeed for them while Knox was outstanding.

There is not much from a Nunawading perspective that was good

This has been brutal as the Raiders put an end to any brief Spectres hopes out scoring them 26-9 and shooting 10/15 from the field.
The Spectres owned the offensive boards that quarter 6-1 but shooting 4/20 from the field is not going to do it.

The Raiders have shot at 45% and are enjoying a 32-19 rebounding advantage. In saying that, the Spectres have had 10 offensive rebounds which is a positive for them but their shooting (17% from the field) has been a horror show for the ages

Get the alarm bells out here because this is threatening to get ugly. The Raiders defence has been suffocating except for the securing of rebounds (Nunawading has 7 offensive boards).

They may lack big names outside of Shanice Swain but what they lack there, they make up for in grit and determination
As for Knox, we sit in 3rd (15-3) after a 44 point win over Eltham last week and we’re currently on an 8 game winning streak

The start of the year was a slow, horrific car crash as teams struggled for consistency but the Knox Raiders have done the bulk of the heavy lifting.
Add that to a Freo team on a 6 game winning run and a suddenly improving Hellas, I approach the second half of the year in full confidence

City will be after revenge and a push for finals while South will be looking to stay clear of relegation.
With that in mind, I anticipate this being a tight game
