Chester Jets were still riding high after their uni-ball trophy success on Saturday night, as they
assured themselves of second in the BBL Championship Northern Conference with this 80-66
success over Manchester Giants. 

However, it was close in the first quarter, but Giants' 18-19 advantage towards the end of the first period was to be the visitors last lead. 

From there, Jets dominated and a 9-0 run in the second quarter gave them a 40-26 lead. Giants responded with a third-quarter 9-0 tear of their own, as Brian Reese, Justin Phoenix and Julius Joseph all netted and got an extra foul shot each to reduce the deficit to 53-44. 

However it was not enough and Chester eased to the victory to increase the celebratory mood at Northgate. 

James Hamilton was the star man with a game-high 29 points; Phoenix and Joseph each bagged 14 for the Giants who now require a miracle to make the play-offs.
