The Rocklin Thunder will face off against the Sacramento Dragons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Rocklin knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past ten matches -- so hopefully Sacramento likes a good challenge.
Rocklin is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They came out on top against Rodriguez by a score of 88-75. Given the Thunder's advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 63rd, while the Mustangs are ranked 214th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Sacramento posted their closest win since December 21, 2023 on Wednesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 50-48 victory over Rio Americano. Winning may never get old, but the Dragons sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
Rocklin is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 21-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.0 points over those games. Sacramento's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 18-11.
Things could have been worse for Rocklin, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 79-64 loss to Sacramento in their previous meeting back in February of 2015. Can Rocklin avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
