Luleå Basket thunders on towards another Swedish Championship final. The home team immediately tightened their grip on the game and led clearly already after period one, 26-14.
In the same way, it continued. Östersund was constantly under pressure and overtaken by a once again clearly better Luleå. Luleå were especially hot in their press on the defensive and difficult for their opponents.
"It's hard to be level-headed, it's constantly windy and you get this pressure against you and we've seen that no team has really been able to do that this season," Rajacic continued.
52 points by two players
"It's hard, they're there with their hands waving and doing everything so that it's not a single second that it actually feels easy. It's tough, yes," says Astrid Sandberg Frankl in Östersund.
Two players stood out for the home team, scoring players Brooke McCarty-Williams with her 31 points and Bria Goss who accounted for 21 points, as well as four rebounds.
Luleå thus took the lead with 2-0 in matches and is on its way to a new Swedish Championship final. The team has seven Swedish Championship titles in the last nine years.
