COLBERT REPORTS AS PLYMOUTH START WITH W

By on November 16, 2011

Plymouth Raiders began their BBL Championship campaign in style with a 92-76 victory over Milton Keynes Lions at the Pavilions on Wednesday.

Lehmon Colbert hit 25 points with reigning league MVP Jeremy Bell adding 21.

Plymouth led for the majority of the game and took a six point lead into the final quarter. Lions trimmed the gap to three but Gavin Love refocused his team and they ended the match on a 19-6 run to seal the victory.

Playing their first league match of the season the Raiders began well to open up a 6-0 advantage. After the visitors had rebounded, an Anthony Rowe two for Raiders started off a 14-7 run which eventually put the hosts into a 49-36 half time .

Milton Keynes had their best spell midway through the third quarter, Howard Crawford – who had a team-best 21 – capping a 22-8 run which gave the visitors a 58-57 cushion.

However, Raiders regained their poise and finished the period with a 12-4 burst, solidifying their dominance in the fourth.

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.
