Key moments

The decisive stretch came late in the second quarter when Frøya rattled off a 12-0 run, forcing consecutive Nidaros turnovers and converting them into easy baskets at the other end. That burst broke the game open and gave the Ambassadors a cushion they protected with maturity after the break. Early in the third quarter, back-to-back three-pointers extended the lead to 25, effectively ending the Jets’ hopes of a comeback.

Tactical story

Frøya’s full-court pressure was the story of the night. The Ambassadors denied easy entry passes, rotated quickly on the help side, and turned defense into offense with regularity. Offensively, they played with pace but stayed under control, recording a healthy assist-to-turnover ratio and consistently finding the open man against Nidaros’s half-court defense. The Jets, by contrast, were forced into contested jump shots and second-half isolation plays that rarely threatened the rim.
