Creativity starves insanity
Antics on the floor showcase some sword wielding action from the Lion mascot against the Tiger from Melbourne. Fireworks indoors are never too crazy smart unless it's all about shooting streams of sparks into the air, and then it's all fine from there. Sydney Kings cheerleaders dance in spotlights and with double their numbers from previous games.
Kings are up and pretty hard into scoring. Cutting into the key, they move quick to score shots. Tigers are wise on this and the margin barely edges out more than a few points between the teams. First quarter always looks good from afar. Second period and Melbourne start swarming the rebounds, Sydney nowhere in sight to clean up the messy shots. Referees work their magic inciting the crowds to boos heavy, loud and constant. Chris Anstey has absolutely no trouble sinking in shots to nail a hurt into the locals.
Third quarter is tough as the Kings stall and hit outside with their shots failing to connect on too many occasions. CJ is nowhere to be seen after the second as Smith and Kendall hit waves on the shots. Tigers don't help matters with their game up and getting better by the minute. Down into the belly of the fourth and it's all over as the Kings struggle to convert breaks by Cedric Webber to close out the competition.
93 to 100, Kings down in game one of the Grand Finals.
