JackJumpers beat United 83-81 in Game 5 of Championship SeriesDellavedova misses last-gasp three-pointer for hosts at John Cain Arena
The Tasmania JackJumpers have claimed their maiden NBL championship by pulling off a remarkable 83-81 road win over Melbourne United in the best-of-five series decider. In front of 11,175 fans in enemy territory at John Cain Arena, Jordon Crawford produced one of the great scoring performances to help Tasmania claw their way to the crown in a gripping battle.
Crawford scored 27 first-half points and overcame a quite third period to finish with a series-high 32. It was the equal-third highest tally by any player in a title-series game during the 40-minute game era, which dates back to 2009.
