Final recap

Bristol Flyers beat Leicester Riders 78–73 behind Davion Bailey's 27

Bristol Flyers held off a determined Leicester Riders comeback to claim a one-possession win in a tightly contested Super League fixture. The visitors led by 11 early in the fourth quarter but could not Holden the advantage as the hosts clawed back to within one possession inside the final two minutes. Flyers dominated the second quarter, reeling off a 15-0 run midway through to shift momentum decisively. At the half, Bristol led 39–36, though Leicester had trailed by just one at the end of the opening quarter. The third period belonged to Flyers again, who extended their lead to 56–49, yet Leicester's fourth-quarter surge—24 points to Bristol's 22—made the finish genuinely uncomfortable for the visitors. Davion Bailey led Flyers with 27 points on 10-for-24 shooting, including five three-pointers, whilst Cameron Holden added 16 points and 7 rebounds. For Leicester, Thomas Hurley was the standout: 19 points on 6-for-12 from the field and 2-for-7 from three, plus 5 rebounds. Taryn Todd finished with 17 points and Deante Johnson Jr supplied a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds. Leicester travel to B. Braun Sheffield Sharks on Sunday, 11 October, seeking to recover quickly from a game they came close to winning. Bristol host Liverpool Basketball on Sunday, 18 October.
