Calgary Surge swat away Stingers to score spot in CEBL's final four yyc
“Communication was off the charts,” said Surge head coach Nelson Terroba. “Our guys were connected. It started with defence. We made great plays on offence. We made the right play over and over again. We don’t force anything, for the most part.”
Miller-Moore finished the opening 20 minutes with 11 points, as did teammate and fellow guard Smith. Terry Henderson Jr. had eight for the Surge in the first half. But it was team defence that really put the Stingers in a 48-29 deficit at halftime.Article content And they wouldn’t be denied in scoring nine final points to end it, with Smith netting the game-clincher — the 84th point — on a free-throw after missing what would have been the winner one seconds earlier.
