There was plenty of exciting action - and lots of free basketball - in the BBL on the first weekend of the final month of the regular season.
Not one, but TWO quadruple overtime thrillers this weekend. Worcester Wolves outlasted Surrey Scorchers 152-150 in the highest scoring game in BBL history on Friday night with 33 points apiece for Rob Crawford and Deshawn Freeman before Radisson RED Glasgow Rocks edged out Bristol Flyers in a 113-111 triumph to move back into fourth spot with 21 points from Kenny Carpenter leading the way.
"The atmosphere of the game was incredible," Crawford said of Friday's historic win.
"It was unreal to play in a game with four OT's and 300+ points combined score for both teams - it felt like a movie."
