Classy Hairston leads Giants to Jets rout
21 points and 9 rebounds from Manchester Giants new centre Roy Hairston was the high point of the club's 95-72 thrashing of local rivals Chester Jets at MEN Arena.
The hosts led from almost the very first score, shooting an impressive 55.9% from the field to leave the Jets still seeking their first win of the BBL season.
Manchester took control with a 23-4 burst in the second quarter which put them 45-28 ahead at half-time and that sealed the contest.
Tony Dorsey added 20 points for Manchester who had all but one player from their ten man roster on the scoresheet as they built a lead which grew to as much as 31 points in the final quarter.
Correy Childs and Kyle Ivey-Jones hit 14 apiece to lead Chester who face Edinburgh at home on Sunday.
