JR Blount scored with four seconds remaining, as Riders fought back to triumph 88-87 and secure the points away to the Lions. On Saturday, Riders secured a second consecutive victory over Essex Pirates. An 11-2 burst in the second period saw the Riders lead 42-29 and the visitors held on for a 98-70 victory.
