The National Basketball League playoffs best of five series for the battle of New Brunswick begin tonight.
The Moncton Magic are playing Saint John, and the coach for the Riptide, Nelson Terroba says they are a tough team to face, but they are ready.
“It’s a team effort, it’s a connected team defence and also on offence it’s being able to make sure that we also play well together and they are going to be good defensively so we have to make sure we do enough to break down their defence,” stated Terroba.
The first two games are in Moncton and the third game is in Saint John.
