The Perth Wildcats will look to pick up where they left off when they take on the South East Melbourne Phoenix at Melbourne's State Basketball Centre on Sunday.
It will be the fourth time the two side have met in three weeks, and after two close games to commence the season series, the Wildcats blew out the Phoenix on Thurday.
However, according to Todd Blanchfield, it's no reason to get complacent.
"We played them twice in Perth and they made a lot of changes in the second game and came away with the win, so credit to those guys," he said.
"We took a massive step in the right direction (on Thursday) we've got to expect them to make more changes, they have a very good coaching staff and a very talented group, so they're not going to go down wondering.
"We also need to be able to make adjustments, we can't just sit back and be happy with ouraelf, we have to continue to improve."
Blanchfield said he expects a more aggresive Phoenix side after the Wildcats held them to 75 points on their home court during the week.
Watch Sunday's game live at 2pm WA time on VICELAND or SBS On Demand.
