New look Worcester Wolves enjoy a second win

Harry Disy
Disy top scored for the Wolves with 19 points

Worcester Wolves picked up their second win in three games since returning to action in the Bristish Basketball League by beating Cheshire Jets 76-65.

The Wolves started the game well as Daniel Gilbert, Harry Disy, and Devin Smith combined for the first seven points without reply from the Jets.

A 9-3 run then put them up 16-6, before the Jets' Shawn Myers found his way to the bucket off a Chez Marks assist.

The Wolves broke away to a 22-12 lead at the end of the first period.

The second stanza began with the Jets' Stephen Gayle netting a three pointer, to leave the scores at 22-15, but Worcester's Kastytis Normantas' dunk made it 24-15 to the home side soon after that.

The sides then exchanged scores, until Worcester increased their lead to 36-22, with 7:49 left in the period.

They continued this form until the end of the quarter, and were some distance ahead at the half, 43-28 up.

The third quarter was then a similar story, as the scoreline read 60-44, thanks to some tough Wolves defence.

There was no way back for the Jets in the fourth quarter, as the game finished 76-65, an 11- point win for the home side.
