The Bandits' big three Torren Jones, Deba George and Ken-Jah Bosley combined to leave their all out on the court in the last game, wrapping up 72 of the Bandits' 96 points between them.

But it wasn't enough to outplay Knox, who had seven players hit between eight and 20-points for the night.

Entertainers Cirkook Riak and Manny Malou also capped off their season's with seven-points each.

The Border side finished off their first season in the NBL1 competition with eight wins and 12 losses leaving them four places outside the top eight.

US import Ken-Jah Bosley finished the regular season as the fifth highest scorer in the men's competition and was closely followed by fellow import Torren Jones who came in seventh.

Bosley averaged around 22-points per game, while 204-centimetre Jones was racking up just over 21-points and came in as the second best rebounder in the competition.

Ballarat look to be the team to beat heading into the finals, having made it through the home and away season at the top of the standings with 16 wins and four losses.

The first round of finals will commence next weekend and are scheduled to run until the grand final on Saturday August 17 at the State Basketball Centre.
