The Shooting Stars' ability to protect their home court and the emergence of record-breaking individual performances like Mitchell's suggest a high ceiling for the team. A 6-0 home record combined with a league-leading overall standing positions Scarborough as the primary favorite for the championship, provided they can maintain this momentum in neutral-site playoffs.
