Bristol Flyers’ head coach Andreas Kapoulas has refused to use a mounting injury list and a tight schedule as excuses as the team slipped to their first consecutive losses in the British Basketball League (BBL) this season.
The short-handed Flyers came up short despite a spirited effort for three quarters away to Leicester Riders on Friday night, 91-73, with the defending champions exacting revenge for Bristol’s recent victory over them at SGS College Arena.
They followed it with what coach Kapoulas described as a “disappointing” double-digit defeat, 93-71 to Caledonia Gladiators on Saturday, surrendering their unbeaten home record.
