Surge Complete Narrow Comeback Over Honey Badgers in Physical Battle

By Dillon White • May 30, 2025
Despite missing 20 free throws, the Calgary Surge came through at the line when it mattered most. During Target Score Time, six free throws and three putbacks vaulted the Surge to a comeback win. Calgary trailed by as many as 15 in the fourth quarter, but fought back in a slower-paced game to earn its third-straight victory. Surge guard Jameer Nelson Jr. said staying resilient and focusing on each possession led to the turnaround. “We just kept checking each other in the timeouts and just saying, ‘Nobody else is gonna do it’. The guys we got on the floor – we got nobody else with us – so we just had to make it happen,” Nelson Jr. said. Physicality was the story of the game, with frequent whistles and opportunities at the line for both teams. Five players – including four Brampton starters – fouled out in the second half. Brampton was efficient from the free-throw line at 73 per cent while Calgary struggled at 51 per cent, but the Honey Badgers only outscored their opponents by one point at the stripe. Despite Brampton’s efforts to slow the pace and make it harder on Calgary in the paint, the Surge still won the paint battle 40-28 and the fast break battle 11-0. Second-chance points also made a difference, with a 12-4 advantage for Calgary, including six in Target Score Time. The trio of Nelson Jr., Sean Miller-Moore and Greg Brown III continued to fuel the Surge attack. Nelson Jr. netted a game-high 24 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, to help lead the comeback. Miller-Moore scored 19 on an off night from the field, adding seven assists, five rebounds and three steals. Brown III showcased his two-way prowess with 17 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Meanwhile, the top three scorers for Brampton all had their nights cut short after fouling out. Quinndary Weatherspoon was on pace for an incredible evening with 18 points and eight assists when he picked up his fifth foul in the third quarter. Amari Kelly and Koby McEwen both fouled out in Target Score Time, with 17 and 14 points respectively. The loss drops Brampton’s record to 0-5 early in the season. Brampton head coach Sheldon Cassimy said the wins will come if the team continues to play at the same level as Thursday. “When we play with execution in mind and follow the gameplan and stick together we did today, I’m sure the result will be different,” Cassimy said. To open the game, both teams struggled from long range and shot a combined one-for-11 from three. Calgary led by as many as seven but Brampton made a run late in the quarter to close the gap to 21-18 after 10 minutes. The second quarter turned into a foul-heavy defensive battle featuring five lead changes and three ties, before the Honey Badgers protected the paint and sparked an 11–3 run. Brampton maintained a lead for the majority of the frame, but Calgary fought back with a late 6-2 run to head into the locker room tied at 41. The physicality continued into the third quarter but Brampton emerged with a comfortable lead. The referees were busy and both teams were frequent visitors to the free-throw line. The Honey Badgers went on a 15-4 run to open the half, powered by threes from McEwen and Weatherspoon. The Surge seized momentum after a scuffle midway through the quarter that led to an unsportsmanlike foul, ending Prince Oduro’s night. Calgary went on a 7-0 run after the unsportsmanlike, but three consecutive trips to the charity stripe for the Honey Badgers slowed the momentum. Brampton held a 10-point lead heading into the fourth. McEwen and Muenkat helped the Honey Badgers extend the lead to 15 early in the fourth, but the Surge stayed resilient. A timely 8–2 run before Target Score Time, highlighted by clutch threes from Nelson Jr. and Gabe Osabuohien made it a five-point game. It set the stage for a tense Target Score Time finish. Osabuohien and Kelly both fouled out early in Target Score Time, including a foul on a Brown III putback. McEwen made an acrobatic finish to get Brampton’s first bucket in the final stretch, before fouling out on the other end. The next eight combined points all came at the free throw line, before a Miller-Moore putback and a corner three from Brown III put Calgary one point away from victory. After a contested attempt at the rim from Miller-Moore, Osayi Osifo snagged the rebound and sealed the comeback with a putback layup. Box Score https://www.cebl.ca/game?id=2600582 Up next for both teams Brampton returns home after the Alberta road trip to face the Montréal Alliance on Wednesday (June 4), while Calgary sets its sights on the Vancouver Bandits at Langley Events Centre this Sunday (June 1).

May 29 - GAME PREVIEW: Brampton @ Calgary

By Christian Bastasin-Diodati • May 29, 2025
As the season continues for the Brampton Honey Badgers, they find themselves still in search of a win as they take on the Calgary Surge in the second leg of their only back-to-back of the season. Last year, the Calgary Surge finished 11-9 and made their second straight Championship Weekend appearance since their inception. While still looking for their first CEBL championship. They made noise in last year’s playoffs beating the Winnipeg Sea Bears in their play-in game and upsetting their provincial rivals, the Edmonton Stingers in a 78-69 thriller before losing to the Vancouver Bandits in the conference finals. Meanwhile, the Honey Badgers had a final record of 6-14, missing the CEBL playoffs for the second straight season since winning their first championship in 2022. However, they got the better of Calgary in their most recent matchup, winning 108-105 during the 2024 season. Brampton’s most productive players that game included Zane Waterman who posted up 15 points and 13 rebounds. Shamiel Stevenson and LJ Thorpe also contributed with 14 points, five rebounds and one steal from Stevenson and 13 points and nine assists from Thorpe. Their most productive player came off the bench as Elijah Mitrou-Long scored a game high 28 points on 75% from three-point land and 9-for-14 from the field. It was enough to keep pace and eventually overcome 27-point and 25-point outings from Calgary’s Justin Lewis and Stefan Smith while Calgary Stalwart Sean Miller-Moore contributed with 19 points (9-for-17). Both teams look quite different from last year’s iterations. For the Honey Badgers, Stevenson departed for the Euro League with BK Inter Bratislava and Mitrou-Long left for Italy. Waterman also left in free agency, going to the Ottawa BlackJacks. To replace these losses, Brampton assembled a variety of free agency signings to support their current core. CEBL champion David Muenkat was brought in to add extra rebounding and energy to the forward position. Former George Mason University big man Amari Kelly was brought in to be the partner in the front court to Prince Oduro and is currently averaging close to a double-double in four games. Brampton’s most exciting free agency signings were both at the guard position. Firstly, they brought back former Honey Badger and the reigning CEBL Canadian Player of the Year Koby McEwen. McEwen was a rookie when the Honey Badgers previously made championship weekend and won their championship in 2022 where he became a fan favourite as a rookie averaging 12.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He continued to improve in 2023 before having his breakout opportunity in Vancouver where he averaged 17.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. They also brought in former NBA Champion and CBA star Quinndary Weatherspoon. Weatherspoon won the NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2022. While in China he exploded as a scorer and playmaker averaging 26.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists with Qingdao. Weatherspoon has had a good start to the season averaging 20.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists. Calgary has their own star NBA signings to match Quinndary Weatherspoon however, as they signed Greg Brown III who played three years in the NBA with Portland and Dallas before signing with the Calgary Surge. He’s had a great start to the season so far, averaging 17.2 points , 6.2 rebound and a CEBL-high 2.8 blocks in three games with the Calgary Surge. The second NBA signing for Calgary is former Pistons shooting guard Khyri Thomas who is currently averaging 5.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.8 steals as their perimeter defense anchor. Along with Brown and Thomas, Calgary’s new signings Jameer Nelson Jr. and hometown kid Olumide Adelodun have contributed early in their first season in the CEBL with Nelson averaging 17.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists and Adelodun posting up 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 16.9 minutes. Rounding the team off is longtime Surge player Sean Miller-Moore. Miller-Moore has been with the team since 2022 as a starting guard and has been a consistent performer in some of their biggest games. In their win over the Edmonton Stingers, Miller-Moore scored 17 points (6-for-15), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks. In the semi-final victory over the Vancouver Bandits, he posted up 15 points and eight rebounds. He is currently averaging 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists. This season, the Surge have gotten off to a good start at 3-1 including a 32-point blowout win against the Winnipeg Sea Bears. In their win against the Sea Bears, the Surge assisted on 69% of their field goals and went on three double-digit scoring runs including a 21-3 thrashing while the Sea Bears could not buy a bucket for seven minutes. NelsonJr., Brown, and Sean Miller-Moore had highlight reel after highlight reel as the Surge entered target time up 71-48, comfortably winning the game 93-61. For Calgary head coach, this game was the result of the hard work put in on and off the court. “They’re a great practice group and we’ve just been carrying that over to the game.” Canales said in praise of his players. Things have gone poorly for the Honey Badgers so far as they find themselves 0-4, their worst start to the season in franchise history. Despite the struggles, Head Coach Sheldon Cassimy is keeping calm and focusing on what the team has done well when speaking after the game. “I think we consistently show flashes of how good we can be. So it’s just a matter of us staying together through the losing streak and knowing that there’s still a whole other 20 games left, so it could turn around very easily”. Cassimy said. Honey Badgers forward Amari Kelly had his own insight of how the team played against Edmonton. “I think we could have done a little bit better job on the glass and being physical in the paint. Defensively, we weren’t locked in,” Kelly said after the game. The Brampton Honey Badgers look to get their first win of the season against the Calgary Surge. Will the Honey Badgers get scorched by the Surge like the other teams, or can they get the better of the Surge in a heat check of a win?
