B. Braun Sheffield Sharks needed overtime to break a three-game skid, holding off Cheshire Phoenix 86–84 in a back-and-forth Super League fixture that saw 14 lead changes and remained within a possession the entire final two minutes. The Sharks were buried early. Phoenix raced to a 13-point lead by the end of the first quarter, 28–15, before Sheffield stormed back during the second. An 11-0 run midway through that frame swung momentum decisively — the Sharks outscored Phoenix 24–9 over the quarter and led 39–37 at half-time. Phoenix regained the advantage in the third, winning that period 24–15 to go up 61–54 heading into the fourth, but Sheffield's resilience in the final quarter (21–14) forced a level 75–75 into overtime. The Sharks sealed it 86–84 in the extra period. Lu'cye Patterson carried Sheffield with 24 points on 11 made free throws, though his field shooting was inconsistent (6/15 from the floor, 1/5 from three). Sean Bairstow added a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. For Phoenix, Isaiah Gray managed 18 points and 7 assists, whilst Ryker Cisarik was efficient inside with 18 points on 5/7 shooting, but Nazir Williams shot poorly: 16 points on 5/23 from the field. Sheffield move to 3–3 this season; Phoenix drop to 4–5. The Sharks travel to Liverpool next Sunday.
