We'll do well to come out of this with a win.
Giants defensive intensity is huge right now.

Wow what a finish
What a pity BBL Player just gave me 1 second glimpses every now & then
Still the BBL Live Stats kept me up to date
Onwards & Upwards

Incredible mess up from Manchester
A close game but they led by 5-10 most of the way after the 2nd quarter and every time the Sharks came back they kept them at arms length. Decent game actually. Sharks were ok offensively but gave up too many easy baskets the other way
The 4th came round and then with both teams in foul trouble - some questionable calls both way - Clark got a T for his 5th foul for wagging his finger twice at the ref and the mometum started to turn but Giants still had a 7 point lead with maybe 2 mins to go. Sharks clawed back for a McKnight basket made it a 4 point lead with 20 secs to go and it was done....
No!
Williams hit a three for the Sharks and it was a 1 point game. Manchester made an absolute dogs dinner of the inbound and three times nearly couged it up - it looked an 8 second call too but somehow they chucked it over half way and retained it with 7 secs to go.
They incredibly then turned it over, falling out of bounds as the inbounder was surrounded and Sharks had a chance with about 7 secs to go.
The Sharks did not make a clean inbound and Nicholls got trapped but found Ratinho who got it to Glasgow- who took one dribble and then sent a floater which dropped through the net as the buzzer sounded. A gutsy shot and the game winner!
Fantastic finish and Sharks kept battling after a sub par effort at times when they were behind most of the game but Manchester really threw the game away. Not sure the Sharks led since the mid point of the 2nd until the final horn sounded.
The Giants players slumped to the floor and Glasgow was mobbed by the Sharks who go 2-0.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a proper issue with BBL player, I’m obviously not saying people are lying or exaggerating, but it is strange

Believe you me, I was as frustrated as hell, getting 1 second of play then having to refresh the whole thing to get another second of play 90 seconds later,
and I was desperate to watch the game & particularly the last 7 seconds

Infact I'm hoping to see the re-run if the watch later comes up

As Swainey called it, Sharks hung in hard and then executed at both ends of the floor at the end.
Interesting to see how coach managed 2 fouls in the first and 4 in the fourth - Nichols and Williams sat for long stretches but came up big at crunch time

That was an excellent decision to trust the defence instead of foul. Not often you see that when down 1 with 19 to go. A more competent team would just laugh and pass the ball around, but credit to the Sharks for forcing the turnover. A real dogs dinner of a final play, but of all people, the ex Eagles man scores the winner, classic  |
