Defeating by thirty points in Svitavy and domestic victories of six points, the Sršni Sands drove to the victory of the dime of the semi-league playoff basketball players again in Svitavy. “Everything can happen in this match,” commented Jan Čech, the coach from Písek, who encouraged the situation after the second match. And the match proved him right.
Balanced first last half, great third quarter Hornets and drama in action. This is how a duel could be characterized. In the first quarter, both teams took the lead and neither ran more than three points. In the first half of the second part, the Sršni were constantly leading, then the situation was reversed so that the conclusion would be for Písek again.
The third quarter was decisive for the whole match. The Hornets won by sixteen points. Right at the beginning, they created a title of eighteen points (42:60) with an excellent series, so that they even reached 22 points (47:69 and 49:71). The twenty-point difference before the final act already gave very high chances of winning and advancing. However, the locals did not give up and gradually began to cut from the head of the Hornets point by point. They made it by a difference of six points (79:85). At the dramatic end came the traditional basketball chess with sixes on both sides. However, the sand archers kept their nerves strong and did not let go of the victory by their fingers.
They take Svitavy to advance to the finals, in which they will face Slavia Prague.
