Liverpool Basketball beat Surrey 89ers 85–74 behind Patrick Robinson's 19
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.
