Thunder drown out Plymouth's perfect record
Plymouth Raiders 71-72 Worthing Thunder
Worthing Thunder put paid to the NBL Conference’s only unbeaten record with a nail biting one point victory at the Plymouth Pavilions, leaving the Raiders now leading their conquerors by just two points at the top of the table.
“We deserved this victory and I’m absolutely delighted," Worthing Coach Ian Chylinski said. "We’re now two points off the top with a game in hand so things are looking pretty rosy really.”
Gaylon Moore hit 27 for the Thunder who led from the start and opened up a 35-44 half time lead. The Raiders closed the gap as the second half progressed but couldn’t get closer than the one point they eventually finished losing bym despite strong contributions from Todd Cetnar who hit 23 and Canadian Pete Knechtel 15.
Gary Stronach, Plymouth coach was unhappy with his side's concentration.
“We blew it. Worthing started the better and we were then playing catch up for the rest of the game. It’s very disappointing to suffer our first league defeat of the season but we’re still top and we’ll fighting to hold onto our position.”
Manchester Magic 92-68 Coventry Crusaders
Manchester Magic’s emphatic win over Coventry Crusaders has given them some vital breathing space in the bottom regions of the NBL Conference.
The hosts led from the start and opened up a 51-42 half time advantage which they increased to 24 by the finish. For the victors Angel Gomez hit 26 with Jon Linsley backing him up with 21 whilst for the Crusaders, Jon Davies knocked down 15 and Matt Collins 14.
Manchester Coach Jeff Jones said: “This was a terrific result. We’ve worked hard this week on our plays and we executed them very well tonight. We came out hard and kept the momentum going for the full 40 minutes.”
Coventry Coach Dip Donaldson was disappointed
“I’m very disappointed. Manchester played very well but my lads never got going. We could have moved into
second place in the league with a victory tonight but it wasn’t to be.”
