Sat Oct 12 10:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Phoenix Facing Must-Win Situation Against Bullets, Says NBL Champion
**Melbourne, Australia -** The South East Melbourne Phoenix are facing a crucial showdown against the Brisbane Bullets on Saturday night, with a win being essential to keep their season alive. Both teams are currently winless, but former NBL champion Damon Lowery believes the pressure is on the high-spending Phoenix.
“This is a ‘loser leaves town’ match,” Lowery said on NBL Now. “The Phoenix, with all the talent they’ve assembled, shouldn’t be 0-4. They can’t afford to lose to the bottom team.”
Lowery is confident the Phoenix will secure their first victory, citing the “extra charged up” Nathan Sobey facing his former team and the Phoenix’s overall firepower. Sobey recently took a shot at his former coach Justin Schueller, criticizing his comments about his departure from Brisbane.
The two winless sides will clash at 8pm AEDT on Saturday night, with the game broadcast live on ESPN via Kayo. This high-stakes encounter will be one to watch as both teams fight for their first win of the season.
