Team Overcomes Late Surge by Hoosier State Instigators to Clinch Win in Front of Home Crowd
WESTERVILLE, Ohio - eTradeWire -- The Columbus Wizards concluded their 2024-25 home season with a nail-biting 113-112 win over the Hoosier State Instigators on Saturday night at The Rike Center. Despite a formidable 44-point surge by the Instigators in the 4th quarter, the Wizards held strong to clinch the victory in front of an enthusiastic home crowd, moving their record to 4-2 on the season.
After leading for most of the game, the Wizards faced a late-game challenge as the Instigators mounted a comeback in the final period, capitalizing on turnovers and the ABA's 3D rule to close the gap. However, strong performances from key players helped the Wizards maintain their lead and secure the win.
Key Performances:
"We couldn't be more proud of how we battled tonight," said Team President Casey Gillespie. "The Instigators pushed us to the limit, and our guys held strong, finishing the season strong in front of an amazing home crowd. This win is a reflection of the hard work, resilience, and passion of our team, and we're excited to take this momentum into the new year."
