Köping had just one loss for the season before tonight's home game against Norrköping and the fine season introduction continues. After the win tonight, Köping Stars steps up in series management, in solitary majesty. This is the first time in the club's history that you lead the Swedish basketball league.

- We have been really strong in the beginning. We have a good mix in the team with old and young. We are hungry and want to win every match, says Köpings forward Shane Walker

Norrköping, on the other hand, has had a tougher time after the loss tonight, the champions from 2018 have five straight without victory.

Jeremy Combs with 25 points

It was a smooth match at first but in the third period the home team could pull a four-point lead before the closing period. By a strong defensive, Köping controlled the match but with one minute left, Norrköping was invited into the match.

Sloppy offensive play led to Norrköping getting the chance to shrink the distance to two points. But Köping stood and stole the storm. Jeremy Combs was the giant of the match with his 25 points and a solid defense. Combs stood for an important block with just over a minute left of the match that helped Köping secure the victory.

Next, Köping will again confess color when the reigning champions Södertälje Kings come to visit.
