The Express had already clinched third place and a bye into the National Basketball League of Canada semifinals the night before with a 104-95 victory over the Saint John Mill Rats but there was no lack of effort from both sides. Windsor extended their season-high winning-streak to seven games while the Power's streak of futility continued with their tenth consecutive loss to end the season.
The Express spread their offense around evenly among their active roster players. Mike Helms led all scorers with 18 points, making four three-pointers in the process. Kevin Loiselle had a double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbing 12 rebounds while four other players reached double-digits for the victors.
The player of the game, however, was Anthony Johnson. The Express forward flirted with a triple-double on this evening, scoring 12 points, grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out nine assists.
Richardo Dunkley scored his first points as a member of the Express - a three-pointer. Dunkley is a Ryerson University grad and one of three Canadians on the Express roster.
The Express will have a week to rest before playing game one of the NBL Canada semifinals at Credit Union Place in Summerside, Prince Edward Island on Sunday, March 24. Tip-off is 2pm AST. Game two will take place on Tuesday, March 26 at 7pm AST before the series heads back to Windsor for game three on Thursday, March 28 at the WFCU Centre for a 7pm EST tip-off. Game four, if necessary, will take place in Windsor on Saturday, March 30 at 7pm EST. Finally, if a fifth game is required, it will take place back in Summerside on Tuesday, April 2 at 7pm AST.
