Stingers snap losing skid with win over Alliance in lowest-scoring game in CEBL history

In what turned out to be the lowest-scoring game in CEBL history, the Edmonton Stingers snapped their three-game losing streak with a 64-60 win over the Montreal Alliance on Monday in Montreal.

The Stingers (5-4), whose last win came against the Alliance (3-6) on June 8, had been reeling after a 4-1 start to the season.

In a physical matchup, it was defence and rebounding down the stretch that carried Edmonton to victory.

"The biggest thing was trying to control the glass. We wanted to rebound the basketball [and] limit them to one shot every possession," Edmonton forward Jordan Baker who had 16 of his team's 38 rebounds, along with eight points.

"The score, when we're staying in the 60's, it's ugly, but it's nice to win."

Defense was the real winner in this game
