BiG Storage Cheshire Jets kept alive their hopes of reaching the last four of the BBL Trophy with a 91-96 victory at Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders.

The victory was achieved at a cost though as Jets finished the match with just four men following the fouling out of Matt Otten and James Hamilton and an injury to Marc Pratt. Richard Murphy didn’t travel due to illness and player/coach TJ Walker is still recovering from injury.

Jets had to rely for the last four minutes of action on Gianni Costantiello, Shawn Myers, Alan Duppa and Jayson Obazuaye to see them through. Fortunately they led 72-90 at the time and were able to hold off a determined fightback by Leicester.

Shawn Myers’ 28-points paced the Jets as they led 18-26, 35-51 and 57-80 at the end of the first three quarters. And they looked to be clear late in the match until the dramatic conclusion.
