TIVOLI Wizards worked their magic in the form of Dwayne Harris on Thursday night to outclass Majesty Gardens 81-67 in game one of the NBL Powered by Flow best-of-three Finals at the National Stadium Courts.

The 30-year-old Harris, a player from Denham Town whose Wizards team merged with Tivoli All Stars this season to form the Tivoli Wizards, sealed four crucial three-pointers to become the talisman for the Southern Conference champions.

“I haven’t been playing during the regular season, so this is just my field day,” said Harris, who finished with 22 points and 13 rebounds.

Kirk Ferguson spearheaded the Tivoli attack scoring 25 points and adding 10 rebounds while Omar Barnes chipped in with 14 points and four rebounds.

The Wizards paddled to 17-12 in the first quarter and turned on the motor in the second to extend their lead to 41-32 by half-time.

With Kemar McLeish and Baldon Todd misfiring and not playing their natural game, Ferguson and Barnes set the pace.

Though Majesty had Tivoli’s rugged Anthony Farquharson in shackles, Harris took them by surprise and made the Marland Nattie-coached team paid dearly.

Barnes took control of the third quarter for Tivoli and with Harris’ strategic three-pointers, the Wizards sped along to lead 68-53.

Holding a 13-point lead and aware of Majesty’s strong finish, Tivoli decided to go in for the kill from instructions from wily coach Edward Marshall.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Wizards executed a 9-0 burst that left Majesty reeling at 79-61 with just four minutes left in the match.

The Southern Conference champions moved into cruise control in the last two minutes and just ran out the clock.

Todd ended with 24 points, 12 rebounds and McLeish 16 points, 13 rebounds.

Marshall said he was expecting a Majesty comeback as Tivoli led all the way: “We knew that Majesty would (try and) make the run but we just had to stop from early and we did that.”

Nattie praised the performance for Harris, noting: “We didn’t react quick enough, they got a lead and held on to it.”
