Worcester Wolves kept alive their hopes of a seventh placed finish with a hard fought 96-91 home win over BiG Storage Cheshire Jets.

In a see-saw match the Wolves were well in control during the first quarter. A 21-11 lead, however, was trimmed to 25-18 by the end of the first ten minutes. Jets wouldn’t lay down though and runs of 6-0 and 5-0 contributed to a 43-46 half time advantage.

The lead continued to change hands several times during a hectic third quarter. James Life and Anthony Paez connected for one of many alley-oops as the home side forged 65-61 ahead.

Wolves were well in the ascendancy in the final stanza at 89-78 before a Jets 9-0 burst made it interesting. Paez and Life worked their routine again to settle the nerves of Skouson Harker’s men as they pulled away to the victory.
