BJ Holmes Hits the Buzzer Beater to Sink Newcastle – Takes OVER Down the Stretch!

By Sam Neter on March 2, 2014

Sheffield Sharks’ BJ Holmes took OVER down the stretch last week to sink the Newcastle Eagles. He scored 8 points in the last 30 seconds, including the game winning three at the buzzer to punctuate an epic Sharks comeback that saw them overturn an 11 point deficit with 4 minutes remaining by going on a 15-3 run.

“It was a play we run plenty of times in practice when we need a bucket,” said Holmes who finished with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. “Nick came off hard and Olu made a great screen. We were locked in mentally and determined to get the points.”

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.
