Canadian Elite Basketball League:
Edmonton Stingers 87 at Saskatchewan Rattlers 56
From Matthew Winick – CEBL:
The Edmonton Stingers (5-0) used an outstanding second quarter to pull away and defeat the Saskatchewan Rattlers (0-6) 87-56 on Saturday afternoon at the SaskTel Centre. With the win, Edmonton pushed its lengthy win streak to an impressive 12 games dating back to last year’s Summer Series championship run.
The loss for the Rattlers marked the team’s first game with interim head coach Conor Dow leading the charge. Dow, a former G League assistant, takes over after previous head man Chad Jacobson stepped down from his position on Friday.
“Coach Chad (Jacobson) was very generous with giving me a big voice on this team,” said Dow about his new position, “The guys are respecting what we’re saying, they’re trying to do what we ask of them. We just have to execute for a full 40 minutes and not just in spurts.”
Despite the staff change, the results stayed mostly similar for Saskatchewan. The CEBL’s last-place scoring offence only mustered 56 points, the lowest total of any team in CEBL history.
