The fortress

Were I not a well-manicured germ-phobe, I would have been biting my fingernails for the entirety of tonight's tenser than Tenser's Floating Disc (lame "D&D" gag alert!) confrontation between the Kings and reigning premiers the Brisbane Bullets. I was beginning to worry that CM and AM were "coolers", draining the luck from the Sydney boys, as the visitors - whose star player CJ Bruton used to be our star player - repeatedly pulled ahead. Indeed, the Bullets were the superior team offensively (except in the minor scuffle). But it was our solid defence and lightning steals in the final quarter that carried us to a 114-109 victory. The Kings remain unbeaten at home.
