Pierce Maslen (’00) Hits Game Winning Buzzer Beater in 2OT!

By Sam Neter on February 18, 2017

Check out Barking Abbey and England Under-16 guard Pierce Maslen (2000 born) keeping his cool to knock down the game winner at the buzzer in Division 4 against Chelmsford Lions.

The shot gave BA an 81-80 double overtime win over Chelmsford. With BA trailing by one, Maslen received a pass, pump faked and took a step inside the three point line to sink the dagger as the buzzer sounded.

“Our guys showed great mental toughness today,” BA Head Coach James Vear commented after the game. “At times we looked down and our but the guys just kept plugging away.

“Pierce has to take a lot of credit for the shot he hit to win it. He works so hard everyday to get better, he was excellent today from start to finish.”

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.
