Stingers Hold off Surge Rally and Snap Losing Skid with 91-84 Win
June 15, 2024 - Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) News Release
Edmonton Stingers' Mike Nuga versus Calgary Surge's Trhae Mitchell
()
In round two of the CEBL's Battle of Alberta, it was more of the same as the Edmonton Stingers (5-2) came away with a 91-84 win over the Calgary Surge (2-5) on Friday night.
After handing Calgary an 18-point loss in game one of the CEBL season, Edmonton's follow-up victory might not have been as convincing - nearly blowing a 20-point lead - but it got the job done in more ways than one. The victory not only snapped a two-game skid for the visiting Stingers, it also kept them a perfect 4-0 on the road.
A pair of bench players led the way for Edmonton as Michael Nuga and Ben Krikke each put up a game-high 18 points. The guard-forward duo was instrumental as they led a second unit that put up 41 points, more than double then that of the Surge.
