“My ticker is tougher now – what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, and that’s just made us a lot stronger.”
The words of red-hot Perth Wildcat’s coach Scott Fisher after his team’s nail-biting win over the Brisbane Bullets in Brisbane on Sunday night.
“Honestly, I really didn’t care if we won or not by the end – we showed such great heart that the win was just the sweet gravy on top,” Fisher said. “To play against them at their place, missing Paul, coming back from that deficit ... it was just unbelievable.”
Brisbane opened up a game-high 14-point margin (74-60) in the third stanza, but the Cats then scored 30 of the final 43 points.
