Bristol Flyers head coach Andreas Kapoulas has warned the club now has “a target on our back” after its best ever start in the British Basketball League (BBL).
The Flyers are undefeated after their opening four games, their best return at this stage in a season since they joined the league eight years ago. The team’s latest triumph came with a resilient 91-85 statement win over defending champions Leicester Riders in front of a sell-out crowd at the SGS College Arena on Saturday night.
The Flyers shot the lights out from three-point range early on, with forward Thomas Bell III living up to his name, going 3/3 from beyond the arc, as Bristol raced to an early double digit lead.
