Before tonight's game, both teams had played a combined 18 points, with Jämtland playing one more game than Norrköping.
And when the last game before the Christmas break started, it was Jämtland that was the hottest and won the first quarter with 14-21.
That despite an injury-hit away team where important Amir Smith was missing.
When it was time for the half-time break, the Jämtlanders had a nine-ball lead, 29-38.
But reigning champions Norrköping Dolphins switched gears and came out as a completely new team in the second half.
And before the fourth and final quarter, they were behind by 20 balls, but they managed to shoot and in the end there were only seven points between the teams.
But Norrköping didn't get any closer than that.
Jämtland's new acquisition CJ Jackson led the way and was the top scorer with 22 points, when they finally won 71-64
- We stuck to what we talked about before the match.
We do exactly what we talked about.
Super important to bounce back after the last, says Pierre Hampton in the broadcast after the win.
Norrköping's Adam Ramstedt after the match:
- I think we lack an intensity to take the fight.
Jämtland is a physical team and does well.
We can't let a team lead by 20 points, it's not good, we've had problems with it and need to work on it, he says.
