River Lions Ravage the Rattlers

The Saskatchewan Rattlers fell to the Niagara River Lions 94-83 in a Friday-night fight between CEBL heavyweights in St. Catherines, Ontario. The lead went back and forth throughout the better part of four quarters, but the Rattlers proved to be their own anti-venom with atrocious sub-50% free-throw shooting. This allowed Niagara to pull away in the final quarter. With the loss, the Rattlers put an end to their three game winning streak; they have come up short in all three meetings with the River Lions this season.
