Sydney Kings take down the Tasmania JackJumpers snapping back from losing streak
The Sydney Kings just took down the Tasmania JackJumpers in their November 3, 2024, matchup, winning 88 points to 60
This win was a much-needed boost for the Kings, snapping their three-game losing streak. Kouat Noi was on fire, scoring a game-high 26 points, including five consecutive three-pointers.
The JackJumpers, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm, shooting at only 31 percent from the field. Their star player, Will Magnay, was absent due to a shoulder injury, which more than likely impacted their performance.Here are some key stats from the game:
– Score: Sydney Kings 88, Tasmania JackJumpers 60
– Top Scorer: Kouat Noi (26 points)
– Field Goal Percentage: Tasmania JackJumpers (31%)
– Sydney Kings’ Record: Snapped a three-game losing streak with this win
It’s worth noting that the JackJumpers (who won their first title last year) have also had a tough season so far, with this loss marking their fifth in six games .They’ll need to regroup and refocus if they want to defend their title.
Kouat Noi provided the spark as the Sydney Kings won big on Sunday at home to the Tasmania JackJumpers.
He has the self-belief like few others and Kouat Noi delivered a match-winning performance for the Sydney Kings on Sunday afternoon as they hit back to beat the defending champion Tasmania JackJumpers 88-60.
The Kings were back at Qudos Bank Arena having lost their past three matches to Perth, New Zealand and Melbourne even though Thursday’s narrow loss to United was a vastly improved showing.
They were hosting a JackJumpers team who also lost a tight one in Launceston to the South East Melbourne Phoenix on Friday, but they received a cruel blow pre-match with gun centre Will Magnay ruled out with a shoulder injury.
As the afternoon unfolded, without question the major difference between the team would be Noi.
Coming off a scoreless outing on Thursday in Melbourne, he wowed the crowd by knocking down five three-pointers for 17 first half points on Sunday.
He then delivered one of the Top dunks of the NBL season over the top of Gorjok Gak in the third quarter before throwing down another one late in the piece and then finishing off with a three-point play.
His 26 points was a big reason why Sydney went on to score the 29-point win.
“Kouat Noi also rejoiced in entertaining the crowd, running to the courtside seats to high-five a punter following one of his successful triples.”
“Cam Oliver had another double-double for the Kings with 12 points and 11 rebounds with Alex Toohey adding 11 points and four boards, Xavier Cooks 10 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and Bul Kuol nine points, four boards and two assists.”
With both teams coming off losses back on Thursday and Friday to open Round 7 respectively, it was the Kings who got the better of the start opening up a 15-5 inside the first five minutes including three balls to Izayah Le’afa and Bul Kuol.
The JackJumpers now head straight to Perth to face the Wildcats on Thursday night while the Kings remain at home to play host to the surging South East Melbourne Phoenix on Friday.
