Goorjian's Kings gear up for almighty Wildcats battle

Sydney Kings coach Brian Goorjian said his team are embracing the fight for a top-two spot on the ladder, as the competition enters its penultimate round.

With the Wildcats (15-11) hot on their tails in fifth spot, Goorjian knows how vital Sunday's blockbuster is.

"We know we're fighting for as high of a spot on the ladder as we can get because there's a huge difference between second and all the way down to fifth," the six-time NBL champion said in an interview with SEN this week.

"These last two games will determine where we finish and we know our own fate is in our own hands.

"We've been training our tails off this week to ensure we're ready on Sunday for Perth because we know any of the teams left in this thing can win it - so it's up to us to prove it."
