Red Bull had one win and two losses in their first three games with Ramel Lloyd as their import. When Scott Burrell, an eight-year NBA veteran and member of the 1998 NBA champion Chicago Bulls, came in to replaced Lloyd, the Barakos went on a 10-game winning streak and finish on top of Group B standings in a tie with Coca-Cola.[2] [3]
