Tatum had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They claimed a resounding 79-42 victory over the Estancia Bears. The Coyotes have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 19 games by 21 points or more this season.

Tatum has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 16 of their last 17 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-5 record this season.
