By beating the Hurricanes 109-101, the London Lightning grabbed the National Basketball League of Championship for the second season in a row.

Cliff Clinkscales led the Hurricanes offence throughout Game 7. He finished with an impressive stat line of 14 points, 14 assists, five rebounds, two steals and a block.

Billy White led the Hurricanes in scoring with 25 points including four of six from three.
