The battle for home court advantage in the first round of the British Basketball League play-offs will go to the final weekend of the regular season after Sheffield Sharks failed to claim pole position in the race.
Sharks were outgunned by the three-point shooting of Cheshire Phoenix at the Canon Medical Arena on Sunday, and despite having defeated Caledonia Gladiators on their home floor on Friday night, now need favours from elsewhere to secure a fourth-place finish. Why is fourth important? It means whoever claims the spot will have two games at home in the best-of-three play-off quarter-final starting later this month.
The momentum from that Friday fightback carried over into Sunday’s game against the Phoenix, Sharks storming out of the gate with a 30-point first-quarter performance. Jordan Ratinho and Devearl Ramsey set the tone with two early three-pointers while the assists from RJ Eytle-Rock for Malek Green and Prentiss Nixon to Marcus Delpeche, showed the level of confidence coursing through the Sharks.
