The Broncos are demonstrating the importance of defense in winning games and potentially championships, as evidenced by their performance in the Basketball Champions League Asia (BCL Asia) - East 2025 campaign. After playing three consecutive away games, the Broncos are the only undefeated team in their group. They have achieved wins in New Taipei City and consecutive victories in Bangkok, displaying both determination and a blueprint for defensive strength.

The Broncos' defensive numbers are notable, allowing only 168 points across three games, averaging 56.0 points per game. This is the lowest in the competition, with no other team allowing fewer than 70 points. Opponents are shooting only 34.6 percent from the field, second only to the Taoyuan Pilots' 34.5 percent. The Broncos' pressure defense also effectively generates offense, producing an average of 22.3 points per game off turnovers, which is the highest in the competition.

Their 81-68 road win against the New Taipei Kings was impressive, while their 87-41 victory over Adroit was dominant. However, their 63-59 win against Hitech demonstrated their gritty, composed, and defensively sound identity. Ian Miller's clutch shot in the final moments is memorable, but Azabayar Altangerel's block of Mike Singletary's late three-point attempt was crucial in preserving the Bronco's lead. Head coach Ariunbold Erdene emphasized the importance of their defense after the game against Hitech, noting the strength and physicality of Hitech's offense but highlighting the effectiveness of the Broncos' defense.

Erdene also attributed their success to thorough preparation, emphasizing that defense is the primary focus for his team. Despite the 3-0 start, Erdene acknowledged the responsibility to protect their record as they return to Mongolia for home games that could be crucial for their tournament performance. He stressed the importance of performing their best on their home court.

The Broncos, undefeated on the road and statistically the toughest defense in BCL Asia - East, are returning to Mongolia with momentum and a chance to establish themselves as title contenders. With a target on their backs, they aim to solidify their position as a top team in the league.
