The high-IQ guard was able to consistently beat his man off the dribble to open the floor up for his teammates on route to 14 assists.<\/p>\n<p>The offence wasn\u2019t the only thing flowing early for the home side, as a strong defensive effort forced six&nbsp;turnovers in the first four minutes from the visitors.<\/p>\n<p>MMU began to hit the glass hard as Bika plucked back-to-back offensive rebounds on his way to the put-back finish.<\/p>\n<p>Hosam Dosa also chipped in with a tough left-hand layup after wrong-footing his defender on the cross-key drive.

Abiola finishing with the highlight dunk, sending the bench and supporters to their feet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Energy continued to build as Finn Sweeting-Young rose high on the fast break but failed to convert as his dunk attempt cannoned off the back of the rim.

The tricky guard faking a three-point shot on the closing defender, delaying as help arrived before swinging the ball to the corner where Bawden was found open to drain the three.<\/p>\n<p>Bawden who entered the game shooting a remarkable 34% from three on the season then followed up with another made three.
