"Wani (Swaka Lo Buluk) showed a bit of class, but we obviously had multiple contributors that helped him along the way.

"Johnny (Crnogorac) played well after a tough game on Friday where he wasn't able to give us much of a an impact. It changes our dynamic when you have your big guy playing with some force.

"Mitch (Dance) and 'Hutrchy' (Lochlan Hutchinson) were really good and we went really deep and had weapons running around everywhere.

"We were just tough to guard and I think we wore them down with weight of numbers."

The Bandits fell short of a sweep after a nail-biting 87-83 loss away to Bendigo on Friday night.

It leaves them 14^th with a 4-8 record ahead of a home double against Diamond Valley and Hobart next weekend.
