A late score from Mike Redd ensured that Thames Valley Tigers halted their poor run of results by snatching an upset victory over Westfield Sharks Sheffield in Bracknell on Saturday evening, their  95-94 success dislodging Chris Finch's side off the top of the Northern Conference table. 

In a tight contest, Sheffield edged into a 42-47 advantage at the interval before the two sides again levelled at 71-71 at the end of the third, following an 8-1 run by the Tigers and the disqualification of Tigers' Simon Ogunlesi and Sharks' Fabulous Flournoy. 

In the fourth quarter, Sharks hit a 14-3 run to lead 85-78. Tigers clawed their way back into it and a 9-2 run closed out the game with Tigers as one-point victors, Redd bagging the decisive basket with four seconds remaining. 

John McCord led the game's scoring with 31 points for Thames valley; Nate Reinking scored 20 for Sheffield.
