Newcastle steal OT victory



 

Natural Flow Newcastle Eagles handed Westfield Sharks Sheffield their second BBL Championship defeat of the season after coming from 14 down to win 111-106 after overtime in front of a 5,000 crowd at Newcastle Arena.
 
The Eagles trailed from the second quarter onwards and looked set for defeat when they found themselves were 58-72 adrift at the start of the final period.

But as Sharks wilted, the hosts rallied back and a late flurry set up TJ Walker to tie things up at 96-96 with 2.4 seconds left. Led by
25 points from Donnie Johnson, Tony Garboletto's men went on to seal the victory in the extra period.

Nate Reinking hit a game-high 27 for the Sharks who still lead the Northern Conference.
 

Notes: Sharks' title sponsors, Westfield Health, used the match to raise money for charity. For every point scored in the game, £5 will go to Newcastle's local NSPCC and the children's ward of Newcastle General Hospital.
