For the first time in its short history, the Hoosier State Instigators defeated a top ten team in the ABA 148-1486 in a game that went to an incredible three overtimes. Both teams battled back-and-forth for the entire game, exchanging blow after blow, but in the end, the Instigators prevailed. You can watch the game, in its entirety, on the Instigators’ YouTube page. The win also ends a two-game losing streak for HSI and moves the team back to .500 at 5-5 This game marks the halfway mark of the 2024-2025 season for the Instigators.
The Instigators were led by G Malcolm Martin, who scored 30 points. F Rico Spikes also played a pivotal role down the stretch for HSI, scoring 25 points and sinking the game-winning free throw.
Next up, the Instigators will play two games this weekend. The first will be a home game against the visiting take on the Midwest Monsterz at Best Choice Fieldhouse. Following that game, the Instigators will travel to Battle Creek, MI to take on the Michigan Blaze, on Sunday.
Both games will stream live on Patreon.
