Norrköping has taken command in the men's SM final in basketball after a win (87–70) in the third final match away against Borås.

The home team started with an eight-point lead at halftime, but then the guests from Östergötland would wake up.

In the last period, Norrköping was dominant and scored 20 points more than Borås.

The match winner and top scorer became the visiting team's center Shane Hunter with his 29 points.

Now Norrköping has a 2–1 lead in the final series when they meet again on Friday – also then in Borås.
