Sharks Squeeze Past Worthing 105-100
Sheffield Sharks squeezed past Worthing Thunder yesterday 105-100 in a game that went down to the wire, ending the Thunder’s 7 game winning streak.
Sheffield were without player-coach Atiba Lyons and perhaps used that as motivation leading by 10, 55-45 at the half. They weren’t able to hold that lead though as Worthing were only down 2 going into the fourth.
Worthing were put in touching distance on a late 3 by Ryan Bratton but Perry Lawson kept his cool at the free throw line to seal the win.
Sharks are now two points clear of Newcastle at the top of the table.
Sheffield were led by Ryan Patton’s 26, whilst Reggie Bratton’s 28 and Kadiri Richards stat stuffing line of 10pts, 13rbs, 5asts and 2blocked shots lead Worthing.
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.
