Overview

  • Simi Shittu posted a 28-point, 15-rebound double-double and rejected a go-ahead dunk to secure the 79-78 victory in Target Score Time.
  • Jameer Nelson Jr. recorded two steals in his second game back from NBA Summer League to reach a new CEBL single-season high of 46.
  • Winnipeg forced 19 Calgary turnovers and outscored the Surge 22-11 off miscues to gain control in the defensive struggle.
  • Calgary managed just 35% shooting overall and 19% from three-point range despite multiple late opportunities to win.
  • The win prevented a season series sweep for Winnipeg and reshaped the late-season Western Conference landscape.
