“So we’re happy for Simi.”However, Terroba’s troops did push past arguably their largest test of this playoffs without Shittu on Sunday night, when they smacked the Edmonton Stingers 84-68 in the winner-move-on Western Conference semifinal at WinSport Event Centre.“For sure,” said Surge guard Stefan Smith, who led Sunday’s charge with a game-high 21 points and knocked down the game-winning free throw in target-score time to advance his side to the CEBL’s final four.
“Definitely,” agreed Surge guard Sean Miller-Moore. “I mean … I feel like it’s human nature for them to think that without one of our leaders — our rebound leader and one of our top scorers on the team — they might have it easy. But, you know, Kylor and Jordy stepped up big for us. We needed them to step up. We trust each other — that’s the type of team we are.”
“And then Dion Ejim saved us again, because when our bigs — Kylor and Jordy — got in to foul trouble, Dion was able to come in and play the five for us and hold down the fort.” “It doesn’t matter if it’s my night or Rugzy’s night or Mason’s night …” Smith said, “we have a lot of players on this team.”Article contentHe was named a finalist for CEBL Canadian Player of the Year ahead of Wednesday’s league awards show on the West Coast.
