Bandits clinch playoff berth, end 3-game losing skid with win over BlackJacks

Thomas Kennedy scored a game-high 27 points as the Fraser Valley Bandits clinched a playoff spot and ended a three-game losing streak by defeating the Ottawa BlackJacks 95-88 on Sunday in Langley, B.C.

Kennedy's presence was a sight for sore eyes to the Bandits (10-7) who had been without the University of Windsor product for a stretch of time due to his participation in Globl Jam, representing Canada. 

The BlackJacks (5-11) are now on a three-game losing streak of their own after looking to make a push toward the playoffs winning four of five games prior to their current skid.

Fraser Valley's win did not come with any level of ease though.

After taking a six-point lead after the opening frame, the Bandits went on a 19-4 run in the second quarter and went into halftime up 47-30.
