Thames Valley Tigers kept alive their hopes of finishing sixth in the BBL Championship with a 77-66 away victory over the Brighton Bears on Tuesday. The Tigers led for the majority of the game but could never quite throw off a battling Bears outfit who were well served by Andrew Alleyne's 25 points.
The Bears trimmed the lead to five points - 67-62 - inside the final two minutes to set up a tense finale.
But the Tigers duly made the game safe with five of the next seven points.
