Rebels Seek Revenge Against Nottingham Hoods
The Essex Rebels return to the Essex Sport Arena on Saturday 14 November with one thing on their minds: revenge.
Just a month ago, the Rebels suffered a narrow 79-77 defeat on the road against the Nottingham Hoods in a game that could have gone either way. Despite a spirited performance from Essex led by Aliou Cisse who finished with 29 points, the Hoods edged the contest late on, leaving the Rebels eager to even the score on home court this weekend.
One of the key factors in Nottingham’s victory was their balanced offensive display. Six different Hoods players finished in double figures, highlighting the depth and versatility of their offense. The Rebels will need to tighten up defensively and limit Nottingham’s scoring options if they are to come away with the win.
Essex enters the contest looking to snap a difficult run of late, having lost five consecutive games. However, with home support behind them and plenty of motivation following last month’s heartbreak, the Rebels will be determined to return to winning ways.
Led by the dynamic duo of Tre Baumgardner and Aliou Cisse, the Rebels will be hoping to deliver a strong response and secure a statement victory as they continue their push up the standings.
With the memory of the two-point defeat still fresh, all the ingredients are in place for an exciting contest between two sides with plenty to prove.
Tip-off at 6.30pm on Saturday 14 November at the Essex Sport Arena. Don’t miss what promises to be an intense battle as the Rebels look to defend their home court and gain revenge against the Hoods. Book your tickets now on Fanbase.
