Sunday Night Breakdown

Super League Basketball is back and we've had an overtime thriller on the opening weekend. Dan and Dave look back at the action from the first few days of the season, but first reflect on everything that has happened over the summer

Reflections on the summer

Bristol Flyers 78-60 Sheffield Sharks

Leicester Riders 72-79 London Lions

Manchester Basketball 92-89 Cheshire Phoenix

Caledonia Gladiators 104-109 Newcastle Eagles OT

And we're done. Leicester dominated the Play-off Final at The O2 to make it four different winners across the Super League Basketball season, whilst Sheffield were back in the winner's circle in the women's final. Dan and Dave look back at the last day of the season, whilst also looking forward to the future for British basketball.

Looking to the future

What a weekend of drama in the SLB Play-off Semi-Finals as the old guard of Leicester and Newcastle make it through to The O2. Undermanned Newcastle won both their legs against league champs London, whilst Leicester came from 20 down in leg one to win their tie after overtime in the second leg. Dan and Dave look back over all of the action.

A look forward to next week

London claimed the title with an emphatic victory over Leicester, but there was plenty of drama elsewhere as the regular season came to it's conclusion and play-off places were decided by a basket in Bristol and Cheshire. Dan and Dave look back over the final weekend's action.

The title race is down to two as London end Sheffield's chances of winning the league, but Leicester stay alive with two tight home wins. Eagles get back to winning ways and reignite their top four chances as Manchester lose twice. And the play-off dream is over for Caledonia.
