A team that maximizes it's athletic ability by playing good defense and getting to the glass. Quickness, speed, jumping ability, and athleticism are benefits. Their gameplan is basic and executed well. Will challenge you on the defensive end with traps and active hands. Hard playing team that uses athletic ability to expose the opponent.
