Siġġiewi lifted the Louis Borg Cup for a second time yesterday after beating Luxol 87-77 in extra time in the return leg at Ta' Qali. There was little difference between the two finalists over both matches with Siġġiewi claiming the honour 152-150 on aggregate. Luxol had won the first leg by eight points but that advantage was wiped out by Siġġiewi in the last few seconds with a Marco Matijevic basket - 77-69. Luxol captain Robert Azzopardi could have tilted the balance in his team's favour and avoided extra time yesterday but he failed to pot any of his two free-shots just before the final buzzer went off. Pivot Matijevic was the game's top scorer with 22 points.
