Edinburgh Kings lifted the Scottish Cup for the seventh time as Latvian forward Edgars Rekis grabbed 19 points in an 81-62 win over Glasgow University.
But the holders needed a second half surge to extinguish a surprise challenge from the surprise finalists.
“We knew that after our large win over them last week, theyâ€
d come at us hard,†said Kings coach Doug Reilly. “But once we pressurise on defence, it is very difficult to live with us.â€
Edgars Rekis on Kings win.
It made it a double for the capital club at the Lagoon Centre with Hannah Peacock scoring 19 points as Edinburgh Kool Kats eased to a 77-62 win over Tayside Musketeers in the womenâ€
s final.
While Scotland prospects Sam Stott and Malcolm Winning were instrumental as Boroughmuir Blaze won both the junior and cadet menâ€
s cups.
