It took it’s time, but pro basketball is not only back in Edmonton, it’s alive and well.
The Edmonton Stingers were sure to kick open the door for it, in dramatic fashion, too, leading comfortably for the first three quarters of their Canadian Elite Basketball League debut, only to find themselves having to force overtime.
But in the end, they finished how they started, with the pedal to the medal to get the franchise off on the right foot in a 118-105 win over the Niagara River Lions on Friday.
