Paternostro lost four in a row before beating Essex last Saturday

Leicester Riders coach Rob Paternostro says his side must up their game if they are to beat Worcester on Saturday.

Riders, who enjoyed a convincing 93-78 win over Essex Pirates last Saturday, lost at home to Wolves in mid-January.

Paternostro told BBC Radio Leicester: "We analysed the game and they played well but we didn't play well at either end of the floor.

"We are eager to play better. It wasn't good enough last time. We need to get on a run and put some wins together."

Paternostro added: "In the second half we made a big run to make it a close game but overall we did a lot of things we didn't like.

"We didn't have a chance to really prepare for the game because we had Newcastle the night before and with those back-to-back games it's difficult.

"But we are preparing this week and we are eager to do better against them."
