"It's been a challenging week. We had two great games but they've rewarded themselves with a win tonight," he said after the Hawks lost 96-87 to the Waitakere Rangers in Auckland on Friday after beating them at home earlier in the season.
Hawks import Suleiman Braimoh seems to have found his niche, claiming another double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds with US import Zack Atkinson chiming in with 16 points and just as many rebounds.
"Su was exceptional," Flynn said, adding their offensive style of spreading the ball had given him room to dribble as well as play from the perimeter and low post.
Last week Mickell Gladness dominated the boards but Atkinson had matched him, if not dominated both ends.
Alonzo Burton didn't get much game time against the Rangers but won kudos from Flynn for landing three baskets from outside the arc last night. The Hawks host the Sharks and Jets this weekend.
