Luke Nelson Beats Leicester at the BUZZER! Reading Rockets Make Final Four!

By Sam Neter on April 14, 2013

Seventeen year old Luke Nelson (1995 born) is having himself quite the season in men’s Division 1. The England U18 added an exclamation point on Saturday night, as he won Reading Rockets the game at the buzzer to book their place in the Final Four (along with Worthing, Essex, and Northumbria).

With 14.1 seconds left and the score tied at 70 against eighth seeded Leicester Warriors, Nelson recieved the inbounds pass, called for an iso and let the clock run down; with the timer ticking, he made a move to his left and pulled up with a defender’s hand in his face…splash. Nothing but net as the horn sounds. Reading win. Nelson adds to the hype. That is a MAN’S MOVE!

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
