Finals – Canada One are Champs Again!
FINAL: Canada One – 3D, 115-99
In the highly anticipated rematch betweeen Canada One and 3D, last season’s champs set out to redeem their regular season loss and regain the top ranking in the Metro League. Canada One’s towering defense ignited a 10-2 run with Bob Hielttes and Navi Sekhon getting easy inside buckets with perfect passes from point guard Randy Nohr. 3D’s captain Jason Hubbs brought his team back into the game with some tough hoops against the ridiculously tall Canada One team. 3D started to heat up in the second quarter, but Canada One was determined to retain their lead and responded with some very physical defense. Lucian Sauciuc played without fear and nailed some tough hoops to finish the half at 51-39.
Canada One started the 2nd half with hot outside shooting from Sean Maxwell, extending their lead to 34 points. 3D retaliated with big athletic plays from Josh Booy (dunk and a two-handed block against the glass/goal-tend) as well as sharp shooting from Alex Zabori and Graeme McCallum. 3D nailed eight 3′s in the second half to bring the game within 16, but the damage had been done in the first and third quarter.
Canada One continues their dominance with the highest bball IQ on the court, the rest of the league will need to build on their team strategy to take on these giants next season.
