Newcastle Eagles and Guildford Heat will meet in next month's BBL Trophy final in Plymouth after both won their semi-final ties in Sheffield. The Eagles cruised to their fourth successive Trophy final with an easy 105-75 win over Cheshire.
Jeremy Hyatt hit four three-pointers in his 21 points for Newcastle and Charles Smith added 19 points.
Earlier, Guildford held off first-time semi-finalists Worcester 81-75 with the help of 18 points from Dan Gilbert.
Veteran forward Tony Dorsey added 17 points for Guildford, who recovered from an 11-point deficit early in the third quarter.
Anthony Paez led Worcester's effort with a game-high 26 points and 10 rebounds.
Newcastle, who currently lead the Championship race, have won the Trophy twice in the last three seasons, losing only to Plymouth in last season's final.
The Eagles led Cheshire by 27 points at the end of an astonishing first quarter and were never in danger of missing out on the final after that.
Jayson Obazuaye, recently named player of the month for January, led Cheshire's scoring with 26 points and veteran forward James Hamilton added 20 points and 11 rebounds.
