00:00Windsor played really well in the fourth quarter in Friday's victory.

00:04It's up to the five to make those adjustments and implement them.

00:08Well, we are underway in the Basketball Super League Final.

00:12Game five, winner takes all.

00:14Will it be Sudbury? Will it be Windsor?

00:18Starting lineup for the Windsor Express, Marcus Goulder, Jair Greyer,

00:22Cameron Gaines, Liddell Elmore, and Latin Davis, the MVP of the league.

00:27Shot missed. Former Finals MVP, Jermaine Haley, pulls down the board.

00:33Starters for Sudbury, Diego Bernard, Jermaine Haley, Dwayne Notice, J.D. Miller, Charlie Markhardt.

00:38We'll get to Bernard in just a moment. The coach is expecting big things from Diego tonight.

00:45Markhardt, out to Notice. Notice drops it off to Miller, who puts it in?

00:51So the Express starting off a little shy, shooting-wise, getting close.

01:00Notice for two, and Rick, I thought that, you know, the key to this game would be the start.

01:06Mistake uncontested, so again, as we've seen before, we've gone through pretty well

01:12every aspect of what teams can do over the previous four games.

01:20Diego Bernard, 5-4-3.

01:24Long time coming for Diego, of course.

01:28And the coach just wants him to slow down and see the game a bit.

01:33But the coaching staff with a lot of confidence in Bernard, who hasn't been Diego Bernard

01:37in the last couple of games, this is huge for him.

01:40Well, he has had to be their backup point guard in relief off the bench for all season long.

01:46Grill, they held a couple of watch parties.

01:49Well, the games were down in Windsor.

01:53Miller has been absolutely stupendous in the postseason.

01:58Crossover, stepping in, floater, good.

02:04Good dribble, accelerating to the bucket, and...

02:08Can't hit it, so Sudbury coming back down the other way.

02:14Hurt checks in, Simmons rebound.

02:17Bernard for three.

02:20Hits it, 5-4-3.

02:23And they're going crazy in St. Joe, Missouri tonight, because Diego is back with a couple

02:29of trays to a torrid start so far.

02:33Bowman loses the handle.

02:35Simmons on the runway.

02:36Hello.

02:42And I was about to say, somebody had better call a timeout.

02:45We've got one.

02:53Back to the game.

02:56Bruce at 24 points in the game three loss.

03:00I would say best game of the series, but he had a massive 20-point game.

03:04As Billinger turns it over.

03:07And Hurt, strong with the board, will slow it down.

03:10Now, some sloppy play under the boards.

03:13Simmons!

03:15Nothing but hands.

03:17Good play by the Express on the pass.

03:19Just over a minute to go in the first quarter, and the Sudbury 5 stay hot.

03:27Miller, not missing tonight.

03:30Points in the games in Windsor.

03:34He did have double-doubles in those games, but struggled with his shooting a little bit.

03:37Not the case in this game.

03:39He's also averaging 22.4 and 12.7 rebounds as Billinger gets in on the action.

03:47Well, we talked about points.

03:49Shoot, Davis has to put it up.

03:51He does.

03:52Hits the backboard.

03:54And that is the end of quarter number one.

03:5732-13 in favor of the Sudbury 5.

04:01Great time to think about the game on Friday night.

04:04Get over it.

04:05And start looking ahead to what they had to do tonight.

04:08But get some valuable rest and refresh physically and mentally, Nick.

04:15Which is crucial to any team losing a big game like they did on Friday night.

04:21Thus having to play game five at home.

04:28Turner to Bauman.

04:32Blocked by Haley, who comes from the weak side.

04:35And grabs it off the board.

04:38Billinger for a three.

04:41Good look there.

04:43Of his injury.

04:47Markard played 114 D2 games.

04:51Played a few NBA G League games for the Long Island Nets.

04:55Last season was with the Frederick Flying Cows of a TBL.

04:59And a heck of a pickup by head coach Logan Stutz and this organization.

05:05It's one heck of a team name as well.

05:09Flying Cows.

05:10Yeah.

05:11Tough to say five times fast.

05:15But third time was the charm, but it was not.

05:19And Billinger, the hands.

05:21Three on one.

05:22Throws it up.

05:23Simmons, it gets stuck.

05:26They call a jump ball, no foul.

05:27It's been a while since we've seen that.

05:31There we go.

05:32Great read defensively by Bruce, knowing that the option.

05:37Just a matter of trying to claw their way back.

05:42Every opportunity they can.

05:47Getting some points after a pretty good start for Windsor earlier.

05:51Miller, the well has dried up for Sudbury.

05:55Stuck on 40.

05:57They go to Miller, inside, left.

06:00He's been money all season long.

06:02I've said that time and time again.

06:05Notice.

06:06Put him on notice.

06:08Miller gets it into the corner.

06:10Jelani Simmons.

06:14Into Miller down low.

06:16Double team.

06:16Billinger for a three.

06:19The corner office.

06:21Billinger with a clean look on that shot.

06:24Pretend to shoot.

06:26Miller.

06:28Cutting through a couple defenders in the key.

06:31Tough shot.

06:32He gets it to fall.

06:34Thought there was going to be a traveling call there after he tucked the ball to his body,

06:38but managed to get the bucket.

06:41But a six-second differential between shot clock and game clock.

06:51So Sudbury should get one more possession.

06:53Davis for three.

06:55What a shot.

06:56Five.

06:59It's the rim.

07:05Bill Johnson.

07:07There's no rest for the weary.

07:09You can rest tomorrow.

07:10Get out there.

07:11Get rid of that rust.

07:12And let's see what happens.

07:14Let's see if it works.

07:15Elmore got away with the first one.

07:17Did not get away with the second one.

07:19And it happens to lead to a shooting foul.

07:22Where J.D. Miller makes the first.

07:30Notice that Miller never gets too high.

07:33Never gets too low.

07:35Fairly consistent.

07:36Very even keel with his demeanor.

07:39Whoa.

07:39These will be.

07:42Playing some high minute free five.

07:47Gaines up top will put up a three.

07:50Short comes out to Greyer.

07:53He hits.

07:54And look at that.

07:55It's a ten-point game.

07:57Well, two stops at the other end, and all of a sudden,

08:00you get five points from the Express, and you're down by ten.

08:05Fifteen and a half, it's now a ten-point lead, and back to J.D. Miller.

08:14Elmore swoops in for it, bouncing around, and the five finally come away with the rebound.

08:20Well, you can't miss on three scoring opportunities for Windsor.

08:23Well, you can't do that.

08:24Well, the Express had three scoring opportunities there.

08:35Could not capitalize.

08:36Look at the bench getting up on that.

08:44Early four, Sudbury here in the third quarter.

08:47Oh, you can't do that.

08:49Oh, you can't do that.

08:50Davis has Haley on.

08:52Oh, you can't do that.

08:53Oh, you can't do that.

08:54Davis for three.

08:55Haley, straight away from distance.

08:59Golder to Elmore.

09:02Elmore puts up the shot.

09:05Short, tipped by Haley, and right to Billinger.

09:13So the five go with Billinger, with Bernard at three fouls.

09:20Billinger, right to the cut.

09:22The left-hand lay-in.

09:23Utilizing his speed on that play, making the play to the bucket.

09:28Back to Bauman until now, who's back into the game.

09:32And the cross-court pass, another turnover.

09:36Miller, stepping through the lay-in.

09:41Bill Jones going for a timeout here.

09:44Did not like that at all.

09:45Bauman with the bad giveaway.

09:49With the Express trying to get anything going.

09:53Now they're down by 17.

09:56Again, they were close.

09:59They were within 10.

10:00And okay, back to the drawing board.

10:04Largest lead of the second half for the Sudbury 5.

10:08J.D. Miller.

10:09J.D. Miller.

10:15Bernard.

10:18Forcing Miller to the outside as Bernard takes a shot, makes a shot.

10:25Well, it's been a while for Diego Bernard, but...

10:27...in this game five to make it a nine-point game.

10:34Miller out to Simmons.

10:37Four, three, clutch.

10:39Well, like Diego Bernard, Simmons, clean basket there.

10:42Bowman using the footwork to get it to go.

10:49The fake out to Miller with Bowman on him.

10:55He's hit a couple threes.

10:56He tries another.

10:58Five, four, three.

11:00He didn't have to go through them.

11:02He just went over the Sudbury 5 bounce.

11:06Down low to Bernard.

11:08Quick move along the baseline.

11:11Been here before and won multiple championships with London in a finals MVP.

11:17Clapping his hand saying, keep going, keep going.

11:20Bernard, the in-out, cross over, left hand, good.

11:25Well, Bernard really has picked up his play in this contest.

11:29He's come to play.

11:30We will be there.

11:34We will be there.

11:36Winds are scoring.

11:37Golden, Golder with 17, Davis with 11, and Greyer with 10.

11:43They need more than that in the upcoming fourth quarter.

11:50Shot from Miller at the end of the quarter.

11:52And that'll do it, 79.

11:56Regulation time.

12:03Windsor fans, of course, are hoping for a comeback.

12:06And the five fans hold on to that lead.

12:10Here we go.

12:11One quarter or more.

12:13Turner, corner, games, three.

12:16Nailed it.

12:17Back to a nine-point game.

12:20Single digits.

12:21Quick timeout by the Sudbury fans.

12:24It up to Simmons.

12:25A bit too high.

12:27He's athletic, but not going to catch that one.

12:31Backing down.

12:32High-harking.

12:33Made away Jimmy.

12:36There you go.

12:37Take your time.

12:38Step back.

12:40Coming up empty.

12:41One, two, three.

12:42One, two, three.

12:44Bernard.

12:45Crossover.

12:46Gets to the rim.

12:47Puts it in.

12:49He's up to 14.

12:52Diego Bernard.

12:53Just over six to play.

12:57Greyer had Bowman.

12:59Passed it around.

13:01Golder for three.

13:04Need some help.

13:07Notice.

13:08Stepping back for three.

13:10Answers right back.

13:12There you go.

13:13Anytime, anytime you get.

13:15That they can.

13:18Notice.

13:19Bounce pass.

13:20Miller went for it all.

13:28Take a look.

13:29Going up and the drive.

13:31No.

13:33With our three is first.

13:38Jamie.

13:38Miller back at the line.

13:49He is six of seven now at the free throw line.

13:54Big time players step up in big time moments.

13:57And J.D. Miller, the 72% free throw shooter, well above it.

14:01And Gaines.

14:12Shot from Bernard.

14:14Why not?

14:16Why not?

14:17Everything he touched tonight.

14:18Prior to this sequence of plays.

14:20And again, that's what the coach wanted.

14:24And with a 12 point lead, it could be 10.

14:29Shortly.

14:29That's what you want to do.

14:33Don't give Windsor the opportunity and the Express need every break they can get right now with just over a minute to go.

14:41So, it's a 10 point lead.

14:44Gladden Davis.

14:48Winding down to just over a minute.

14:50Here we go.

14:52Notice.

14:54Crossover.

14:55Puts it up.

14:56High off window.

14:58Gray notice.

15:01Pass ahead.

15:02Markhart.

15:03On the run.

15:03Goes reverse.

15:05And missed it.

15:0710 point lead.

15:08Golder.

15:09The dunk.

15:10An 8 point lead.

15:12Charlie is fouled.

15:17It's all quiet with Charlie at the line, of course.

15:22That's pretty well gained.

15:29They are on their feet.

15:31Dwayne notice.

15:32Checking out of the game.

15:37Nervin's Demostine into the game for the Sudbury 5.

15:42Sean Olden also in.

15:46From the kings of the underground to the top of the mountain.

15:51The Sudbury 5 will have their first championship.

15:55There it is.

16:03Clock to zero.

16:05One oh three.

16:07Ninety one.

16:12It's been a long time coming for this franchise.

16:15We've seen a lot of frustration with the worth and the dedication by this crew this year

16:27has finally paid off for the Sudbury 5.

16:31And again, deserving champions.

16:35Finishing first in the regular season standings.

16:40Taking care of Jamestown in five.

16:45Doing what they had to do against Windsor in a great series.

16:49Also in five.

16:50And for the Windsor Express.

16:53Rough start in the opening quarter.

16:56Something that they weren't able to overcome.

16:59And get back and create a lead for themselves.

17:03But kudos to Bill Jones, Aaron McDonald, and the Windsor Express for putting on a great show.

17:09I loved it.

17:11This is the best that I've seen in terms of a playoff series involving the Sudbury 5.

17:17And thank you, Windsor, for doing this.

17:19I'm almost due to visit Windsor.

17:21It's been a while.
