Since 2014, Luleå has seized seven of eight Swedish Championship gold medals. According to SVT Sports basketball expert, they are the favorite for the gold this year again - but then they have to find their way back to the game they had at the beginning of the season. - This reminds me of the fable about the turtle and the hare, when they have to compete for who is the fastest. The hare takes the worst lead and thinks "now I will sleep, the turtle will not catch up anyway". But the hare sleeps and the turtle wins. I think there is a risk that Luleå will fall asleep if they do not start playing better, says Nick Rajacic.
Luleå won 24 of 26 matches in the regular season and the biggest victory margin was 66 points.
Now they are chasing their eighth Swedish Championship gold in nine years.
