Calgary Surge vs. Edmonton Stingers preview - CEBLThe fourth and final spot in Championship Weekend will once again be decided by the CEBL’s Battle of Alberta.
This season, however, Calgary needed to hold off a furious rally by the Winnipeg Sea Bears on Friday night to earn a place in the West Semifinal. The Surge, despite blowing an 18-point lead, rallied in Target Score Time to squeak out an 84-82 victory. The Surge held MVP candidate Justin Wright-Foreman to 20 points and two three pointers on 12 attempts. The Brooklyn, New York native led the league in points per game during the regular season, and shot better than 45 per cent from deep in his second year in the CEBL.
Calgary and Edmonton split four meetings in the regular season. And home court advantage did not play a factor in the final score, as the road team won every matchup. Edmonton took the first two meetings of the year in Calgary — including the season-opener at the Scotiabank Saddledome — while Calgary responded by swiping the last two in the Alberta capital.
They will be tasked with slowing down the duo of Kamba and Corey Davis Jr., who set a CEBL record with 124 assists in the regular season and finished fourth in steals . The two combined for 50 points in Friday’s victory over the Sea Bears.
