Khan's Treys Lift Toronto Past Denver in Nail-Biter
DENVER – The Toronto Titans snatched a dramatic road victory against the Denver Prowlers, securing a thrilling 111-108 win in a Pro League showdown that went down to the wire. With both teams trading blows throughout the contest, it was a late offensive surge, punctuated by a clutch three-pointer from Aisha Khan, that ultimately decided the fate of this hard-fought battle.

However, the Titans responded with sharp shooting, particularly from beyond the arc where they held a significant advantage.
