Brown, Canterbury advance to NBL Grand Final
MBB: Brown's 23 points lead Rams to semifinal win over Otago
The Canterbury Rams upset the Otago Nuggets, 114-103, Saturday in the New Zealand National Basketball League semifinals in Auckland. The Rams have earned their first spot in the Grand Final since 1999.
Tevin Brown scored 23 points, one of six Rams to be in double-figures, to help lead Canterbury to the win. Brown also added six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal.
Canterbury is now one win away from their fifth NBL championship, and their first since 1992. They’ll face top-seeded Auckland in the Grand Final on Sunday.
