Bears sweep Rabbits in the Finals (4-0), take back the title after one year - Apr 19, 2011 
 
Finals, Game 4: Bakken - Svendborg 74-67 (4-0)

Bakken Bears swept Svendborg Rabbits with perfect 4-0 in the Finals to win Ligaen title for season 2010/11. The Rabbits won it last season and before that Bakken grabbed three trophies in a row.
The hosts trailed by 13 points at the halftime before their 42-22 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Bakken dominated on the defensive end, holding Svendborg to just 4 points in third quarter. They also forced 19 Svendborg turnovers. 25 personal fouls committed by Svendborg helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American-Belizean guard Charles Burgess (186-G-84, college: Texas Tech) fired 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 steals for the winners. The former international center Chris Christoffersen (218-79, college: Oregon) chipped in a double-double by scoring 13 points and 12 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). The former international power forward Nicolai Iversen (205-80, college: San Jose City JC, agency: Rasmussen Services) produced a double-double by scoring 19 points and 10 rebounds and American forward Matt Williams (200-77, college: Montana) added 11 points and 7 rebounds respectively for lost side. Five Bakken and four Svendborg players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
Bakken Bears advanced to Playoffs as No.3 in regular season with 24-3 record. They eliminated Aabyhoj with 2-0 in the Quarterfinals and later blasted Naestved 3-0 in the Semis.

Bakken Bears defend National Cup trophy once again - Jan 17, 2011
 
Svendborg Rabbits - Bakken Bears 75-78
Bakken Bears won third consecutive National Cup trophy in Denmark. The Bears outsmarted Svendborg Rabbits 78-75 in the Big Final repeating the success from the last two yeas (also from 1999, 2000 and 2005). Charles Burgess (186-G-84, college: Texas Tech) and Chris Nielsen (192-G/F-85) were the leading players in victory scoring 15 points each. Charles Burgess collected 8 rebounds and 5 assists beside that. Andreas Jakobsen (187-G-83, agency: Rasmussen Services, college: Columbia (MO)) and Chris Christoffersen (218-C-79, college: Oregon) helped the Bears with 11 points each. On the other side, Nicolai Iversen (205-F-80, agency: Rasmussen Services, college: San Jose City JC) shined with 20 points and 8 rebounds, while Christian Cavanaugh (207-F/C-86, college: Oregon Tech) had double-double of 18 points and 10 boards. However, they were the only players with double-digits in scoring for Svendborg and it was not enough in this Final.
Bakken Bears won the first period 12-16 and Svendborg Rabbits replied with 22-18 for the next ten minutes. Third quarter was the crucial one in this meeting.

Bakken Bears were impressive from behind the arc in this game as they made 10 of 21 attempts (47.6 %).

Svendborg Rabbits: Nicolai Iversen 20+8 boards, Christian Cavanaugh 18+10 boards
Bakken Bears: Charles Burgess 15+8 boards+5 as, Chris Nielsen 15, Andreas Jakobsen 11+5 boards, Chris Christoffersen 11
