It took double overtime to separate Sheffield Sharks and Leicester Riders

It was a late-night thriller at the EIS yesterday as Sheffield Sharks and Leicester Riders fought out a 92-98 duel that needed double overtime to separate them.

There were many contenders for MVP: Chris Alexander with his customary 21 points; Mackey McKnight recorded only the second triple-double of the BBL season and the first by a Sharks player since 2009 with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. But it went to captain Mike Tuck with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

Sharks need to regroup now to take on Worcester Wolves tomorrow in a winner-take-all semi-final for a BBL Trophy final place with both teams tied on 86-86 after the first leg away at Worcester.

Sheffield Sharks keep the ball rolling

With 5 games in a busy 10 day period, Sheffield Sharks continued their good home form last night to beat Cheshire Nix 83-79 and take them back to 5th in the BBL at 10-5 with games on some of their nearest rivals.



It was anything but an easy win - the game against the BBL Cup winners ebbed and flowed throughout, making it a nervy finish for many fans.  Tony Wroblicky, Rob Marsden, Mike Tuck and Sol Rolls-Tyson all contributed to keep 7' CJ Gettys in check with Wroblicky going on to a double-doubel of 16 points and 10 rebounds.  Also in stand-out form was Chris Alexander who contributed 27 points and who importantly never let the Sharks heads drop whenever Nix looked like they were getting back into the game.
