Davion Bailey leads Bristol Flyers past Leicester Riders with 27
Davion Bailey's 27 points proved the difference as Bristol Flyers held off Leicester Riders 78–73 on the road. The American guard shot efficiently from deep, converting 5 of 11 three-pointers whilst managing 6 rebounds and 3 assists across 34 minutes, anchoring a compact Bristol offence that rarely turned the ball over — Bailey himself coughed it up just once. Bristol's road win hinged on execution in tight margins. Bailey's shooting touch, particularly from range, gave the Flyers an edge when Leicester pressed late. He was the steadiest scorer available; the 10-for-24 finish from the field speaks to a night of reasonable shot selection rather than volume for volume's sake. Leicester kept it close to the end, but Bristol's discipline — reflected in Bailey's +1 turnover ratio across a full game's work — made the difference. Bristol travel next; Leicester will look to respond at home.
