BBL Mims magic conjures Riders second win
The magic of Billy Mims continues to work wonders on Renault Leicester Riders. The formerly 0-8 club made it two wins out of two for their new coach with a 113-103 win over Newcastle Eagles, a result which sees Leicester also close within two points of their opponents in the Northern Conference.
Leading 53-46 at half-time, Riders continued to stay ahead throughout the second half, the Eagles only briefly closing the gap to 98-94 with 4:00 to go in the final period before Riders responded with a decisive 10-0 unanswered run.
Riders' Purnell Perry produced another massive performance with 37 points, while Ralph Blalock led the Eagles with 27.
