“Simon (Enciso) was actually calling me not too long ago, so did Chris Ross and June Mar (Fajardo) and I feel like those are my family. Those will always be my guys.

“I feel like there’s always a little bit of pressure,” said Clark, who led Hong Kong with 25 points and 11 rebounds. “We’re just going to go out there and compete.”
