It is time for the last game of the Australian basketball season, and the top 2 teams made it to the final, and what a final series it has been. It will be a 5:th and decisive game, and it will take place in Sydney in front of a full house. 5 days ago Melbourne made an upset here by winning game 3, after have had the lead with as much as 14 points late in the 3:rd quater, but in the 4:th Kings made a comeback, and had the lead with 13 seconds left of the game, when Tigers import Sean Lampley took matters in his own hands, and after missing all of his 3 pointers he made his 4:th and won the game. Two days ago Tigers hade the chanse to seal the deal infront of an roaring homecrowd, and with two Kingsplayers semi-injured, Hinder & Draper, the odds wasnt in Kings favour, and they didnt get any better as 2 of their starting players got into foul troubble before the 1:st quater had ended. Tigers took an early lead, and late in the 3:rd they had a 20 point lead, and was well on their way to be champions. Then Kings decided to give it a go with injured Dayonte Draper, the american import,and together with Isaiah Victor, the other american they turned the table, and in the final quater they shut down Tigers big men, and won the game 87-90. This just must have been a huge mental blow for Melbourne, second game in a row it happens, this time they lost, and at home when they had the championship within reach. Now they have to travle back to Sydney and yet again they need to win, byt i cant see Sydney giving up another loss at home, istead i think they will dominate this game a bit more.

the key is winning the boards,wich they havent dome in the last games, not before the final quater, and if they can do that they are a huge step closer to the win. And if Mark Worthington can shut down Chris Anstey like he did that last quater i cant see any other outcome than a safe Sydney win. But sure, they have to play it out first :)

Good Luck Ladies & Gentlemen.
