Surrey 89ers

Jalen Graham's all-round display proved the difference as Surrey 89ers held off Leicester Riders 107–102 at home, with the forward finishing on 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists across 33 minutes. Graham's efficiency from the floor—8 of 16 attempts, a clean 50 per cent—underpinned Surrey's control throughout. He added a steal and two blocks while keeping his turnover count to one, a mark of composure when the visitors pressed late. Leicester never quite found their rhythm, and Graham's ability to operate in transition and initiate from the wing made the difference in a five-point margin that felt more comfortable than it read. The 89ers host their next fixture seeking to build on this rhythm.

🏀 Final: Surrey 89ers 107–102 Leicester Riders. Top scorers: Surrey 89ers: Marreon Jackson 23 PTS · Leicester Riders: Bernard Pelote 28 PTS.

Marreon Jackson finished with 18 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds as Surrey 89ers fell short at home against Liverpool Basketball, losing 74–85. The 89ers' playmaker was efficient when it mattered: 6 of 9 from the field, with 5 three-pointers made on 6 attempts, and added 3 steals in 30 minutes. It was a sharp offensive showing in a game Surrey ultimately couldn't close. Liverpool's 11-point margin proved too much to bridge, despite Jackson's individual brilliance. The 89ers will need to tighten their overall depth when they travel for their next Super League fixture.

Liverpool Basketball held off Surrey 89ers' first-quarter pressure to secure an 11-point Super League win, 85–74, in a back-and-forth contest decided late rather than early. The 89ers came out sharp, building a nine-point lead by the end of the opening quarter (27–20). Liverpool clawed back through the second period, ripping off a decisive 9–0 run midway through to swing momentum — by half-time the visitors led 44–42. Surrey never regained the upper hand from there. The third quarter saw Liverpool stretch clear again, reaching 65–57 ahead, then extended their advantage to 11 points with just over three minutes remaining in the fourth. Surrey's late rally fell short; Liverpool outscored them 20–17 in the final quarter to secure it. Patrick Robinson led Liverpool with 19 points on 6/11 shooting, whilst Brandon Tchouya orchestrated the offence with seven assists to go with 13 points. For Surrey, Marreon Jackson's efficient night — 18 points on 6/9 from the field and 5/6 from three — kept them competitive, though Erik Reynolds II's 16 points proved insufficient down the stretch. Liverpool travel to Bristol Flyers on Sunday. Surrey host Leicester Riders at home on Saturday.

Surrey 89ers' Jalen Graham has built his recent form on volume and efficiency — 22 points per game at a 90.5 TIB rating — but Liverpool Basketball's Greg Williams Jr presents a problem that scoring alone won't solve. Williams operates at a different level of control: 32.5 TIB efficiency, 12 points and three assists per game in current form. He's not there to outscore Graham. He's there to manage the game around him. This isn't a numbers-matching exercise. Graham's 90.5 rating reflects high-volume scoring; Williams's 32.5 speaks to a player who orchestrates. Liverpool's ball-movement game, if it clicks, will test whether Graham can maintain his touch when the offence flows through multiple hands rather than finding him in rhythm. Surrey will need Graham's scoring to stay ahead of Liverpool's depth. Liverpool will need Williams to control the tempo and keep Graham from settling into comfortable spots. That's the real fixture within the fixture. Tip-off in three hours. Tune in to watch how each team leans on its best player under pressure.

Surrey 89ers host Liverpool Basketball in Super League Basketball tonight, with Jalen Graham leading the hosts' scoring at 22 points per game this season. Liverpool arrive with Greg Williams Jr averaging 12 PPG — a wider gap than the scoreline might suggest heading in. Graham's form will be the focal point. He's been the 89ers' primary scoring outlet all year, and Liverpool's defence will need to scheme around his production to have a chance at the upset. The visitors have work to do on that end, but Super League fixtures rarely turn on one player alone. Tip-off in roughly six hours. Follow it live.

Jalen Graham kept Surrey 89ers competitive on the road despite their defeat to Manchester Basketball on Sunday. The forward finished with 22 points and 15 rebounds across 30 minutes, shooting a clinical 10 of 15 from the field, though Manchester's control in the closing stages proved decisive in a 79–67 loss. Graham's rebounding tally was the real engine of his performance — a near-double-double secured through efficient inside work. He managed just one assist and one turnover, a clean floor game that underlined his focus on executing within the system rather than creating for others. The shooting accuracy (67 per cent from two-point range) reflected how Surrey got their most reliable work done at the rim; the absence of three-point attempts said something about the shape of the contest and where the 89ers found their easiest looks. Manchester pulled away in the latter stages, leaving Surrey chasing the margin through the final quarter. Graham's industry in the paint — both ends — wasn't enough to claw back the deficit, but his willingness to keep working the glass and hitting his shots gave the away side some fight. The next fixture will be the real measure of how Surrey responds to a loss where their best individual performance still fell short.

🏀 Final: Manchester Basketball 79–67 Surrey 89ers. Top: Chandler Pigge 15 PTS.

Manchester Basketball travel to take on Surrey 89ers in Super League action later today, with Keon Thompson's offensive consistency likely to be a focal point. Thompson has averaged 17.5 points per game this season and will be central to how Manchester approaches the contest. Surrey will have their own gameplan ready, but Thompson's scoring rhythm—and whether Surrey's defence can disrupt it—could prove decisive in a league where consistent shot-makers separate the competitive sides from the rest. Both teams will know the stakes; every fixture in Super League carries weight. Tip-off is in roughly six hours. Worth your time if you're tracking how these two stack up.
