In a game that will go down as one of the great Grand Finals, the Forestville Eagles have taken down the South Adelaide Panthers 92-90 in the NBL1 Central men’s decider.
The last quarter was filled with big moments from both sides, but it was Greg Mays’ three-point play with six seconds remaining that proved to be the deciding factor. Forestville was down by as many as eight points in the fourth term before fighting back to secure a famous victory.
