vs.
Kularoos Plymouth Raiders fought off a spirited Worcester Wolves side to maintain their unbeaten start to the season with 85-79 victory.
Despite trailing 25-18 at the end of the first quarter the Raiders showed their class in the second period as they racked up an 18-2 run before half time to lead 38-47 at the interval.
Worcester fought hard in the third quarter as they combined stern defence with some quality shooting. Heading into the final stanza the sides were locked together at 58-58.
Raiders edged in front early in the fourth quarter and were handed a gift when Wolves coach Skouson Harker was called for a technical foul. From the resulting free throws Alistair Gall made both and then sank a three-pointer from the ensuing possession as Plymouth opened up a 66-75 lead.
Wolves got it back to 72-75 but Raiders maintained their composure from the charity stripe to seal the win.
