Melbourne gains use of The Cage for finals
MELBOURNE Tigers finally have the green light to play home grand final games at The Cage.Still in Melbourne, the South Dragons have given Luke Schenscher until the end of the month to sign. Luke suited for the Flyers in the NBA's D-League yesterday and had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 5 blocks in 23 minutes of action as their starting centre.
With The Cage hosting the Commonwealth Games netball tournament, the Tigers had faced the prospect of not hosting any games in the best-of-five NBL grand final series, if they qualify, because of a Games blackout on venues after February.
But the Commonwealth Games organisation and officials from The Cage said yesterday the Tigers, who are second on the NBL ladder, could use the venue for the grand final series.
