The Sudbury Five have successfully defended their Basketball Super League title as they handed the KW Titans a heartbreaker at home.

The two teams headed into a winner-takes-all matchup at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday with the championship best-of-five series knotted up at two games apiece.

The Titans led at the end of the first quarter 26 – 19, but by halftime, Sudbury had battled back to lead 50 – 41 and widened that gap to 74 - 66 by the end of the third.

Fans were left on the edge on their seats right until the end of the game, but the Titans were ultimately defeated by a single point.

The 90 – 89 victory allowed Sudbury to reclaim their crown for the second year in a row.
