An upset is already on the cards a game into the 2018 Finals Series of the 2018 Tema Community Basketball League between Nungua Coldstore and Tema Heat.
In the first of a potential three game series, Tema Heat delivered a big blow to Coldstore’s title ambitions with a 63-58 win.
Coldstore are overwhelming favorites in this series on the back of a dominant run in the 2018 campaign; this past weekend’s loss was the team’s second in 23 games.
The 2016 League Champions bossed the regular season winning 17 of 18 games to clinch the first seed and go on to sweep Akatsi Rifles and Tema Community 2 respectively.
However, that magical run was ended by a rampaging Tema side that couldn’t be stopped in the final quarter of the exciting matchup.
Heat Guard Karim Awudu delivered momentum shifting consecutive baskets from the three point zone sending Coldstore’s play spiraling out of control.
Nungua had no answers down the line to trail the series ahead of Game Two on Sunday, December 2 at the Tema Community 4 Court.
