The young and quick Kent side entered the game with a chance to finish the League’s runner-up so it was no surprise that they started the brighter of the two teams and had an 8-3 lead a couple of minutes into the game.
Hemel’s Bode Adeluola grabbed a rebound under the Storm basket and dribbled the length of the court for a lay-up a minute or so later to get the Kent advantage back to just 12-9 before the home side grabbed their first lead of the game with three minutes left in the period, 15-14.
