Match Info

The Leicester Riders secured a hard-fought 85-78 home victory over the Bristol Academy Flyers in the British Super League Basketball on Saturday, April 5, 2026. This result was a crucial win for the Riders in their pursuit of playoff positioning, as they managed to hold off a persistent Flyers side in a tense fourth quarter. The match saw the Riders establish an early lead through efficient inside scoring, but Bristol fought back with a series of three-pointers to keep the game tight. The decisive run came midway through the final period, with Leicester's defense forcing several key turnovers that led to fast-break points. A standout performance came from the Riders' point guard, who orchestrated the offense and hit a clutch step-back jumper to extend the lead to seven points with under two minutes remaining. The Flyers had several opportunities to close the gap but were unable to convert on critical possessions down the stretch. This win solidifies Leicester's place in the upper half of the league table, while Bristol will look to rebound from this narrow defeat in their next outing. Post-match, the Riders' coach praised his team's defensive resilience, stating, "We knew Bristol would make runs, but our response in the final quarter showed our championship mentality." The Flyers' manager pointed to the turnover differential as the key factor, saying, "We competed, but you can't give a team like Leicester extra possessions and expect to win." The starting lineups featured the Riders' usual core of experienced veterans, while the Flyers relied on a younger, athletic roster.
