Wolves aim for fourth win on trot

Skouson Harker
Skouson Harker has taken Worcester Wolves to eighth spot in the BBL.

Worcester Wolves are aiming for a fourth consecutive win when they travel to Leicester Riders on Saturday night.

But coach Skouson Harker is expecting a stern test at the John Sandford Sports Centre, with Great Britain guard Flinder Boyd being the Riders key man.

"They have made a complete turnaround since bringing Boyd in," said Harker.

"He's not much of a scorer but he makes them tick and he's made everyone around him better. They have good balance and depth and we need to play them honest."

Harker was a happy man after seeing his side defeat MK Lions 90-88 on Saturday evening, a result which kept them in play-off contention.

He said: "When we got up 22 points in the third quarter, Lions responded well with some defence, but we had enough to get the win.

"Justin Brown had a big game and he really had a presence inside.

"Anthony Paez again came up big in the fourth quarter and he continues to be working hard defensively.

"All in all it was another step in the right direction."
