11-0 close ends Chester's perfect start



 
 

After nine perfect games, Chester finally changed their habits ... and lost.

Thames Valley Tigers ended the Jets unbeaten start to the season
running out 92-86 victors after coming from 20 points down to win in a thrilling finale on Saturday.

Chester dominated the first half and they had a 37-57 lead when they scored the opening basket of the third quarter. But runs of 11-2 and 10-3 brought the Tigers within touching distance. The Jets still looked odds-on to extend their winning streak to ten games when they led 84-76 late in the fourth, but the Tigers netted 16 of the last 18 points to claim the win. 

BBL Player of the Month John McCord led all scorers with 25, whilst Tony Christie netted two crucial three-pointers in the final two
minutes.

Jets were led by James Hamilton's 24 points.

Paul James' side had earlier announced the signing of ex-England cap Richard Scantlebury who notched six points on his debut.
