STATS Shawn Montague of Raiders – 22 points top scores in the game and with his 16 rebounds, the only double-double of the game . Miro Koskela of JBA with 18 points the best for the visitors
STORY : Game was running JBA’s way in the last ten. But a late push from Raiders made it an edgy game in the last few minutes – Otso Häyrinen did get a buzzer beating three in the air, but as it failed to go in. JBA headed home in the bus with the points, Raiders keep on improving but the win eluded them.
CROWD : Now, I LOVE the crowds in Divisioona – they are just SO much more lively than in Korisliiga. Raiders crowd was quiet to start with, but the second half was loud and energetic – few photos in the gallery to show this.
