Thames Valley Tigers bounced back from Wednesdays defeat at the hands of Manchester to record a 115-94 victory over the Natural Flow Newcastle Eagles on Saturday night in Bracknell.

The Tigers rattled off an early 14-2 burst to take a 20-9 lead which they were never to relinquish against a Newcastle side clearly suffering from their late heroics of the previous evening. 

Nonetheless Eagles - led by Brian Ehlers' 22 - caused a late scare, netting nine without reply to trim the deficit to 102-94 with three minutes remaining but the Tigers scored the final 13 points of the game. 

Tigers' John McCord top scored with 37 points, Tony Christie adding 23.
