Proven playoff performers Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic have stunned the Southern Steel 59-57 to be crowned New Zealand conference champions in the trans-Tasman league.The Steel lost their season-long unbeaten record courtesy of a slow start to the final in Invercargill, trailing by 11 goals at one point in the first half before launching a fightback.It wasnt enough to halt a Magic side who will host a semi-final next weekend.Their opponents will be the losing team from the Australian conference final on Monday, between the Queensland Firebirds and NSW Swifts.The winners of that game will host the Steel in the other semi.A standout for the visitors was wing defence Jamie-Lee Price, the daughter of former Kangaroos and Warriors rugby league player Steve Price.She effected three intercepts and five deflections, restricting space for Steel wing attack Gina Crampton, who has been one of the southerners best all year.Without Cramptons regular supply, opportunities were reduced for prolific goal shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Reid, who still sunk 47 of 53 shots for the Steel.England international shooter Jo Harten was near-identical with 46 from 52 for the Magic.Thats Magic mana right there and I cant believe weve done this, Harten said.To come to Invercargill and take it is pretty cool because weve had an up-and-down season.Struggling to field a full-strength team, the Magic lost five of their first six games.They have lifted for the playoffs, thumping the Northern Mystics 63-47 in last weeks elimination final.They are the only team from either side of the Tasman to reach the knockout phase in all nine seasons of the ANZ Championship.The Steel, who had won 11 and drawn two games in the regular season, looked lethargic off a bye the previous week.Centre Shannon Francois is promising better away to the Firebirds or Swifts.We love going to Aussie. Obviously its a harder route but were going to take it as much as we can to them.Mens Fake Vapormax . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night.
