BBL Highlights – Week 11 Round-up

By Bradley Gains on December 12, 2014

Check out the latest BBL highlights round-up as Newcastle extend their winning streak and Manchester suffer back-to-back defeats.

Newcastle Eagles made it 12 straight victories in the league with a convincing display in the North-East derby against Durham. Scott Martin drained five triples on his way to a 25-point haul, while Andy Thomson weighed in with 21 as six players reached double figures.

London Lions recorded their third win in a row after seeing off the challenge of Manchester Giants 87-79 on the road. Zaire Taylor produced a game-high 30 points, while Makal Stibbins added a valuable double-double for the visitors.

Bristol Flyers had also beaten Manchester 24 hours earlier after an impressive performance from Alif Bland – 20 points and 17 rebounds – led his side to a 72-67 victory.

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.
