The ABA championship game between the Heartland Prowl and the Savannah Storm was played Sunday afternoon at Savannah High School Gym. Fans saw an exciting game as both teams played well. The Prowl got into foul trouble with several players with 6 fouls or more(ABA rules: if a player picks up his sixth foul, he may remain in the game. However, each time he commits an additional foul the other team will receive two free throws PLUS the ball out of bounds).
After the first quarter, the Storm led 42-31. At the half the Storm led 78-70. The end of the third quarter saw the Storm with a led 117-111. The final score: Savannah Storm 163, Heartland Prowl 153.
J. B. Smiley had a game high 46 points for the Prowl and teammate Dwayne Jackson scored 45 points.
