Beasley praises Plymouth defence
DeAntoine Beasley
Beasley believes each victory is crucial for Plymouth
Plymouth forward DeAntoine Beasley hailed his side's defence as the Raiders beat the Sheffield Sharks 85-73 at the Pavilions on Saturday.

"Everyone came together and played tough defence," the American said.

"We got the easy buckets and then the difficult buckets started to follow for us," he added on BBC Radio Devon.

Beasley scored 17 points while top scorer Drew Lasker hit 27 as the Raiders bounced back after losing 84-74 at Everton the day before.

The Raiders are joint second in the BBL Championship on 28 points.

They are level with the Guildford Heat and the Scottish Rocks, who visit the Pavilions on Wednesday in a crucial match for the Raiders.

"It's all pretty tight at the top so each win is crucial," said Beasley.
