  "summary": "The Winnipeg Sea Bears have claimed their first Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) championship in franchise history, defeating the Brampton Honey Badgers 98-84 in a single-game final on Saturday at Canada Life Centre. The championship was originally set to be a three-game series, but the first game was suspended due to condensation and later cancelled. Finals MVP Xavier Moon led the Sea Bears with 29 points and seven rebounds, while Sean East the Second scored 27 points and dished out five assists for the Honey Badgers. The Sea Bears, who finished second in the Western Conference, will look to build on this success in the upcoming 2026 season.",
