It's a crazy league this year...and every coach is stressed out to the max Rob Paternostro

Leicester Riders coach Rob Paternostro says Friday's game at Sheffield Sharks is a chance to "right the wrongs" of last week's narrow 86-79 defeat.

Paternostro told BBC Radio Leicester: "We were right there with a couple of minutes to go.

"But on the road you have to make smart decisions and we didn't at both ends of the floor and they capitalised on that.

"They're a good team, it's a tough place to play but we have got the opportunity to right the wrongs."

Riders follow up Friday's away game against the fourth-placed Sharks with a home fixture against Plymouth Raiders on Saturday.

The teams are in joint eighth spot in a very congested BBL table and Paternostro is well aware of the game's significance.

"It's a big game - no doubt," Paternostro said.

"This will be for the season series. It's a big weekend for us and every time you turn around you are playing an important game.

"It's a crazy league this year...and every coach is stressed out to the max. Every night you are playing a team fighting for their life."
