The Saints held a handy lead throughout the game and while the Magic cut into it at times, never truly got close enough to threaten a comeback.
Defensively the Saints brought intensity, helping well in the half-court and forcing the Magic to settle for a lot of outside shots, which rarely fell today.
Saints point guard James Ross was typically classy, proving a threat to the hoop and shooting well off the catch, while Liam Aston was deadly from the outside.
The win sees the Saints complete a three-peat, having beaten the Bombers in the previous two finals. The Magic last won the competition in 2013.
