Saskatchewan had a 5-0 run to finish the first quarter with a 9-point lead, further extending their edge in the beginning of the second quarter to take a 31-20 lead.

Fraser Valley bounced back to make it a tight game until mid-way through the final quarter, when a 6-0 run by the home team to make it 73-66 proved to be enough of a margin heading into Elam Ending time.

It will be the Bandits’ turn to host the Rattlers on Saturday, when the teams take the court at 5 pm ET.

On Thursday, the Hamilton Honey Badgers will host the Guelph Nighthawks, while the Scarborough Shooting Stars visit the Ottawa BlackJacks.
