JackJumpers quickly switch focus to game three

Monday, May 9, 2022

Tasmania superstar Josh Adams says the JackJumpers have already shifted their focus to Game 3 of the Grand Final series.

The JackJumpers suffered a heartbreaking 90-86 loss in Game 2 on Sunday, and now face the daunting task of trying to win the title from 2-0 down – a feat never achieved in the NBL.

Adams had a spectacular performance with 36 points, but all he is worried about is trying to extend Tasmania’s dream season on Wednesday night.

“We got another game in Sydney on Wednesday. That's what I'm thinking about,” Adams said.

“We've been in that mode for the past two months. We go into every game expecting to win.

“If we end up on the short end of the stick, we move on to the next one.

“It's another must win game. We've been playing in must win games for quite some time now.”

Adams’ 36 points were the second most by any player in a 40-minute Grand Final game since 2010, behind Bryce Cotton’s 45 in 2017.

Game 3 of the best-of-five game Grand Final series tips-off on Wednesday night at 7:30pm AEST at Qudos Bank Arena. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN via Kayo Freebies.
