Match Info

The Bristol Academy Flyers 2 secured a local derby victory, defeating the Bristol Hurricanes 78-73 in a Commonwealth Basketball Games fixture on April 9, 2026. This intra-city clash lived up to its billing, with the Flyers 2 using a strong second-half performance to overcome a halftime deficit. The Hurricanes started brightly, leveraging their athleticism to get out in transition and build an early lead. The Flyers 2, however, settled into their half-court offense after the break, methodically breaking down the Hurricanes' defense with sharp passing and effective perimeter shooting. The turning point came late in the third quarter when the Flyers 2 went on a 12-2 run, sparked by consecutive three-pointers from their bench unit. The Hurricanes fought back to within two points in the final minutes but were undone by a couple of untimely offensive fouls and missed free throws. A key performance came from the Flyers 2's veteran forward, who provided crucial leadership and scoring in the paint during the comeback. This result gives the Flyers 2 bragging rights and a positive start to their tournament campaign, while the Hurricanes will look to bounce back quickly. The Flyers 2 coach highlighted his team's improved ball movement, while the Hurricanes' staff pointed to a need for better discipline in crucial moments.
