The 28-year-old has played at just about every position this season, but sits regularly in small forward and shooting guard.

"I would say for me - it's [about] doing whatever needs to be done to win the game," Chambers said.

"When I'm out there on the court, I'm focussed on stopping my player first, that I'm defending well and then from there it's just reading it and seeing what my team needs."

After 10 games, the Tornadoes sit second on the NBL1 South ladder with eight wins and two losses.

"The season has gone well ... would we have liked to win those two games we lost to be perfect? Of course," Chambers said.

"But ... we're winning, we're second place right now."

With the Torns looking like true NBL1 South contenders, Chambers said her team had a hunger for winning that couldn't be sated.

"We don't get too excited off of wins. Not to say we don't like them because yes, we want to win," she said.

"But ... when we lose, we really have a lot of emotions tied to the them. When we win - that's what we're supposed to do.

"I think that's our thing: we respect everybody but we hold ourselves to a higher standard.

"We get out there, and we aim to get the job done every time we go out.

"We're playing the long game ... the end game is be there in August [and] winning a championship."

The Tornadoes' latest victories came in the form of a heart-stopping 82-79 win over the Mount Gambier Pioneers, and a 100-48 trouncing of the Hobart Chargers.

Without key scorer and captain Keely Froling, Chambers upped her scoring with 17 points against the Pioneers, and 14 versus the Chargers.

"I'm naturally a scorer, but it's just been with Keely and Kelsey [Griffin] being out, I had to step up," Chambers said.

"[To] take a few more shots for those missed opportunities."

Due to COVID-19, Chambers hasn't been able to visit her home in Virginia, or her family in Pennsylvania since January 2020.

"If I would've left, I wouldn't be allowed to come back so that was a sacrifice that I made," she said.

"They're [family] watching games when they can, [but] because the time difference is just one of those things where they're like 'oh man, we gotta be up at five o'clock in the morning to watch these games!'."
