APPARENTLY THE LAKERS-CAVS rivalry exists only in the Premier League.
Antoine Morris scored a game-high 29 points, including eight in a decisive 28-15 third quarter run, to set up Mpact Station Hill Cavaliers’ first junior finals appearance in six years via Tuesday’s 88-59 semi-final rout of Lumber Company Lakers’ Under-20 basketball side at the Wildey Gym.
That made it two wins over their Husbands counterparts in as many games following a victory in the teams’ regular season matchup, and booked Cavs’ spot in the title game against the unbeaten Bulls, who also routed Bayland 75-30.
But unlike that latter semi, this latest Lakers-Cavs encounter was expected to be a thriller in the vein of all the gripping Premier League showdowns.
