After two courageous losses to Bendigo, the Sydney Flames are keen to return to the winner's circle this Friday against Geelong United.
The round 12 fixture at Geelong Arena will be the third time the two rivals match up in WNBL25, with Sydney winning the first two.
And one could argue this is easily the most important of the three, as the fourth-placed Flames (5-8) sit just ahead of the fifth-placed United (5-9) on the ladder.

"This Friday is clearly a crucial game for both sides' finals chances, not to mention the start of a super busy stretch for us - playing five games across the next 14 days," said Molloy, who admits his side has used the time together in Melbourne to review their game against Bendigo and fully prepare for Friday's clash with Geelong.
"It's obviously important we get a result against Geelong but also start to play confidently for four quarters and play that Flames brand of basketball I know we're capable of.
"We showed in patches, especially in that first half last game against Bendigo, if we get our game on, how dangerous we can be as a team.
"With there going to be very little time, if any, to train during this period, it's up to us to make the most of our time on court with these games."

A win by the Hoops Capital side would give them space on the chasing United, UC Capitals and Lightning - with the latter being Sydney's match-up on Sunday during Pink Hoops.
