Despite leading for parts of both games, Chalmers said the side now needs to work on extending their effort on court.

Bijan Johnson was unable to finish Sunday's game after suffering a knee injury, finishing with nine points and three rebounds.

Mitch Dance posted 18 points and 14 rebounds, while Albury's Jacob Cincurak scored 10 points.
