Should Patriots win, the two will have to sort things out in a decisive fifth game.<\/p>\n<p>Patriots have until recently been seen by many as the favourites, but REG are clearly showing little interest in that narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in the women\u2019s third playoff final, REG pulled off a stunning 71-44 win over APR to lead the best of five series 2-1.
