The Sydney Kings defeat Tasmania JackJumpers to win the Fantastic Final NBL Series
The Sydney Kings smashed the JackJumpers in Game Three of their recent superb NBL series, denying Tasmania a title in the women's season.
The Kings eliminated JackJumpers 3-0 in the series, determining the title with a 97-88 victory before a record swarm.
In a game that must be dominated by JackJumpers, the away team has been ahead in every run.
However, the Kings overcame the final quarter, scoring 31 to 19 to take the third game and the title.
Xavier Cooks and Ian Clark were instrumental in the Kings' game, scoring 23 and 22 points apart, before an impressive record crowd of 16,149.
Their containers in the latter part helped elevate the Kings to their most memorable titles starting around 2005.
We have a lot of depth, and therefore, a lot of people in this group.
Clarke has been a late Kings expansion this season, joining the group in February.
However, similar to the past two rounds of the series, Kings flooded in late, and Clarke judged the home team.
The JackJumpers missed a slew of shots in the final season, resulting in a disappointing finish to what had been a surprise season.
