A faster-moving Vancouver Bandits began their road trip by snapping a two game losing streak<\/a>, defeating Saskatoon Mamba 92-85 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought the effort of the guys was much better than the last two games,\u201d said Bandits interim head coach Ransford Brempong.<\/p>\n

Tevin Brown led the way with a season-high 28 points in only his fourth game as a Bandit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my teammates find me with their passes, I\u2019ve got to be ready to knock the shot down,\u201d Brown remarked.<\/p>\n

Both teams had a slow start, with Saskatoon leading 14-13 at the end of the first period.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, the Bandits took a 49-42 lead into the break.<\/p>\n

Mamba slowly chipped away at the lead, tying the game at 64 by the end of the third.<\/p>\n

Vancouver outscored Saskatoon 28-21 in the fourth for the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played a lot faster tonight and that\u2019s the identity that we want,\u201d said Brempong.<\/p>\n

A corner three from Jarkel Joiner was the target score game winner. He finished with 14 points and four assists.<\/p>\n
