Calgary Surge clinch playoff berth with 79-64 win over Saskatchewan Rattlers yyc
“The team is starting to understand no one has to do it on their own,” said Surge head coach Nelson Terroba. “There’s no set answer…trust what’s in front of you…and with that stat sheet that’s what you see tonight.”
“We had to deal with a heroic basketball player,” said Terroba on having to coach against Wright-Foreman. “He gave me many sleepless nights over the last three weeks thinking about this matchup. He’s an amazing player.”Article content However, they couldn’t maintain said lead due to some careless play with the ball. The Rattlers committed four turnovers in the back-half of the frame – part of six in the first quarter – helping Calgary spark their own 11-0 run that took back the lead.
Wright-Foreman took care of business during the first half of the game as he dominated the box score. His 13 points, six rebounds, and two assists, were a game-high in all three categories at halftime. Despite Calgary shooting a lowly 3-18 from beyond the arch till that point, they seemed to finally find their groove from distance. Gilder Jr. followed Smith’s lead as both players knocked down a three in the early goings of the final frame, sparking the Surge to a 16-4 run to start the fourth.
The dunk set up by Shittu, not only brought the Surge within one basket of finishing the contest, but also moments away from clinching their first playoff berth in the franchise’s first season in Calgary.
