The Bullets continue on in what will be their fifth of six games on the road, after a nail biting one point loss in their first game of Round 4 in Melbourne. On Monday night the team take on the Hawks in Wollongong.
The Bullets are in search of a win after what has been an unexpected start to the season, as the team remains winless after five games.
They come up against the Illawarra Hawks who will also be eager to chalk up a win at this early stage of the season, with their only win coming against South East Melbourne in Round 2.
KEY MATCH UP
It will be a fun match-up to watch between the two talented, sharpshooting Tyler’s on each team. For the Bullets, Tyler Johnson is averaging 14.6 points per game, 3.4 assists per game and is shooting 59% from the three point line across the first five games of the season.

The Hawks, Tyler Harvey, is also averaging 14.6 points per game, and despite his shooting percentage being down this season has proven ability to light it up from beyond the arc.
FUN FACT
Two sets of brothers will be going head to head in this clash. The first is the Sam and Harry Froling who were teammates last year in Illawarra, but will fight it out for bragging rights this season. The second set is Gorjok and Akoldah Gak.
ON THE RECORD
Following their first game of the round Bullets Hostplus Head Coach James Duncan said, “We need to value the ball. We aren’t doing that at a high level right now and that's hurting us”
"The biggest thing for us is continuing to stick together and focus in on the game plan. We did some good things tonight, but we couldn't get over the hump especially when you have certain breakdowns through the course of the game."
