Worthing Thunder head coach Dave Titmuss says Sunday's game at Worcester Wolves is critical in their bid to make the BBL play-offs.

Thunder currently occupy the last play-off place in the BBL table, and are six points above the Wolves.

Titmuss told BBC Sussex: "That's an absolutely huge game in terms of our ambition to make the play-offs.

"It's going to be an extremely tough game and there's a lot at stake for both of us. It's a pivotal game."

He added: "It might be one of the biggest games of the season. Every loss we can inflict on them is good for our hopes."

Before that match, Worthing face a trip to Everton Tigers on Friday, and Titmuss feels that his team have what it takes to make it to the play-offs.

"I don't underestimate the task but if everybody is healthy and as focused as we've been then I've no doubt we've got the talent," he said.

"We're not as talented as some teams, but we really do have that mental toughness that has seen us through winning some very close games."
