A dominant first half was enough to see Surrey Scorchers take their 5th BBL Championship win of the season with a 96-82 win over the Manchester Giants at Surrey Sports Park.
28 and 27 point hauls in each of the first two quarters gave the hosts full confidence heading into the half time break, before Giants made a strong attempt at a comeback in the 3rd.
Calm under pressure, Scorchers weren't going to let the visitors record a comeback and closed out the game with a single point final quarter win.
Nick Schlitzer led the Surrey scoring pack with 22pts, followed by Christian Behrens and KC Ross-Miller on 20pts a piece, with the latter scoring 9 out of 10 field goal attempts in the game (90% success rate).
