In general indifference, or almost, the Intercontinental Club Cup is taking place on the Singapore side and Saturday was the last day of the group stages with in particular the clash between the G-League United and the Tasmania JackJumpers, champions of the NBL (Australian league). The poster kept all its promises since everything was played out in the last seconds, with the victory (76-74) of Charlie Brown's teammates (23 points).
The G-League team thought they had done the hardest part by leading by 14 points in the third quarter, but the JackJumpers reversed the course of the match. First by equalizing, then by taking a four-point lead before the “money time”. Moment chosen by Brodric Thomas, to be the hero of the day. It was first he who equalized at 3-points (72-72) with one minute to go. Behind, Jordon Crawford (24 points) gave the JackJumpers the advantage again with a superb “floater” from 4 meters. But behind, Scott Roth's players fouled a 3-point attempt by the same Thomas. The former Celtics and Cavaliers player scored two out of three, and he put the two teams back on a level playing field (74-74).
Ball to the JackJumpers but Milton Doyle slips on the throw-in, and the ball goes to the G-League players with 14 seconds left. Ball to Thomas again, who goes for the foul with 1.8 seconds left. This time, he scores both. Timeout for the Tasmanian team, who take the throw-in at midfield. The lobbed pass is intercepted, and G-League United clinch their spot in the final, and they will face Killian Tillie's Unicaja Malaga in the final.
