Brighton Bears recorded a much needed victory on Saturday night defeating the Manchester Giants 68-69 at MEN Arena, the second loss in 24 hours for Andre Alleyne's side.

Giants led 34-13 at half-time but Brighton stormed back to nab a 46-53 advantage entering the final period. However the hosts  looked to have the game under control after an 11-0 run put them in front once more before Bears' Kevin Wallace scoring two crucial late free throws to secure the
win for his team in the dying seconds. 

Demetric Reese and Brian Earl both had 19 points to lead their sides.
