International Basketball League

Earlier this season, without three of their top five scorers, the Olympia Reign were rocked by the Edmonton Energy in a two game series in Edmonton losing by a combined 91 points. Since those two losses to the Energy, the Reign have gone 5-2 and have scored two straight upsets over the 14 win and #3 seeded Energy including tonight’s 101-89 victory in the first round of the IBL playoffs. Mike Ward scored 27 points and both Nicholas Moore and Gjio Bain posted double-doubles to lead the the Reign. The Reign are 4-1 since they picked up Bain, a seven foot center from Southern Miss, from the Orlando Venom on their trip to Florida.

Next up for the Reign is the #2 seed Portland Chinooks in the IBL final four tomorrow at 5:00 PM at Whatcom Pavilion in Bellingham.
