JackJumpers into NBL Grand Final in debut season

The JackJumpers fairytale debut NBL season continues following their incredible 2 games to 1 semi-final series victory over reigning champions Melbourne United at John Cain Arena tonight.

The unbelievable victory means the JackJumpers now face the Sydney Kings in the best of 5 game Grand Final series beginning on Friday night in Sydney.

Game 2 of the series will be held at MyState Bank Arena this Sunday afternoon and we look forward to once again making the place a fortress as our boys defend the Island.

Regardless of the result, the JackJumpers' 2021-22 season will go down as one of the greatest sporting achievements in Australian history.

Congratulations to Scott Roth and the team for their wonderful performance tonight and we look forward to another exciting week ahead.
