SYDNEY Kings co-captain Ben Madgen says his resurgent side are reaping the rewards of sticking to their systems after they recorded a 105-93 coast-to-coast win over the Adelaide 36ers at the Kingdome on Sunday.
Madgen was one of the main beneficiaries of Sydney's systems, scoring 13 points in the final quarter and 25 points in total to lead the Kings to their fourth consecutive win.
"We have a great system. We had a lot of options just through running our sets so it's not like I had the mentality to go out and score 10 points in a row," Madgen said.
"I try to stick to the system and get my shots out of that and I was able to knock a few down."
Tom Garlepp provided a valuable scoring spark, scoring a career high 21 points - all in the second half - and AJ Ogilvy contributed at the defensive end with seven blocks.
Heal said Garlepp's second-half effort and Brad Hill's 13-point second quarter against Melbourne shows that their structure allows anyone who has a quiet start to make an impact later in the game.
"Our system allows us to be able to pick where we find the weaknesses and go with our strengths," he said.
"Sam Young had 31 points in Cairns and he came back the next game and scored seven points and we were still able to score and he did a good job defensively.
"I thought he did a great job on Gibson, who had 28 points last week, so he is playing a valuable role whether he is scoring or not, and I think that breeds the confidence and togetherness we are after."
Gibson scored three points and was limited to 17 minutes of game time due to foul trouble, while Young finished with 21 points and smashed down an alley-oop with five seconds to go.
Adelaide coach Joey Wright said his side missed important opportunities.
"One play can change the game and I thought Madgen's shots were huge. He stepped up at the right moment and knocked some shots down," Wright said.
"We go down and miss some shots and turn it over and that's the margin.
"I thought it was a competitive basketball game all the way through and they just made the plays at the end."
