Birmingham Panthers continued their improved run of form with a thrilling 87-85 overtime road win over the Worcester Wolves on Saturday night.

Unanswered second quarter bursts of 7-0 and 9-0 from the Wolves put daylight between the two sides at the half time interval with the home side leading 46-30. The Panthers fought back in the third stanza and after rattling off a 13-0 burst had trimmed the lead to just a single bucket at 62-60 with seconds remaining in the quarter.

Once in to the final period the teams traded baskets, a three pointer from Wolves James Life levelling the scores at 75-75 with 27s remaining. During an enthralling final 27s both teams had opportunities to win the game but neither could convert their chance.

Panthers opened up the extra period with a 6-2 burst to take control of the game but some accurate long range shooting from Chuck Evans pegged back the visitors. Evans' second three pointer of the overtime period tied the game at 85-85 with 7s remaining but Wolves' Douaine Anderson fouled Dan Sandell from the inbound and Sandell calmly slotted the 2 free throws to secure the win.
