Bristol Flyers clinched their 20th league win of the season, claiming an 82-87 victory over Cheshire Phoenix despite the hosts threatening to hand Flyers a second consecutive loss.
“A very gutsy performance,” was how Bristol Flyers head coach Andreas Kapoulas described his side’s effort. “Cheshire is a tough place to come and play, and we built an early lead, which they cut down going into half-time.
“We had a strong third quarter defensively, we held them to 11 points and were able to build the lead again. They got in a bit of foul trouble and went smaller, and that caused us a lot of problems.”
