K-W Titans turn attention to London Lightning after sweeping Newfoundland Rogues in playoffs
CBC
The K-W Titans swept the Newfoundland Rogues from the best-of-five first-round Basketball Super League playoff series.
The Titans won Game 3 Friday night at Mary Brown's Centre in downtown St. John's with a score of 128-115.
The Titans will now host the London Lightning for the first two games of the finals. Both games will be played at The Aud on Friday and again on Sunday.
When asked last week about the possibility of playing the Lightning or the Sudbury 5, Titans head coach Cliff Clinkscales told CBC News he did not have preference.
"I've been saying it all year — every team in our league is tough," he said. "They will win when they do well, so every team in this league, you could be beat by any team any given night. So I don't have a preference at all."
The success so far in the playoffs is part of a rebuilding year for the team, which started the season with almost all new players and a different corporate organizational structure that made the team a not-for-profit organization.
Tickets for Friday and Sunday's games are on sale through the K_W Titans website.
