Zach Copeland drained a three-point shot in Target Score Time to deliver the Vancouver Bandits to the CEBL championship game Sunday, as they defeated the Calgary Surge 89-87.
It was a heartbreaking end to the season for the Surge, who were within a single bucket of hitting the target score of 89 but fell short.
The Bandits will play the winner of the Eastern Final between the Niagara Falls River Lions and Montreal Alliance on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. MST.
After the game, Surge Chairman and President Jason Ribeiro issued a statement thanking Surge fans for their support.
"Despite tonight's loss, our players and coaches showed the entire country the values that bind our team and our city together: passion, resilience, and joy. On behalf of our entire organization, thank you so much to all our Day One Surge fans for your steadfast support -- especially those that travelled the far distance to Montréal. We are forever indebted to all of you."
