Slam dunk specialist Lavoris Jerry plans to give Worthing Thunder fans something special for the play-offs.

Thunder host Manchester Magic on Saturday (8pm) in the first round of the NBL Conference post season and will be looking to their star American for inspiration.

Jerry, whose three spectacular dunks inspired a comeback to beat Plymouth last Saturday, said: "The fans will get something special from me.

"I'm not sure what it will be, it depends on the moment, but there are a couple of dunks I have been trying for all season."

Thunder have shared two thrillers with Manchester's exciting young side already this season.

Magic took the honours 93-92 in the north west earlier this month but Thunder won the home clash 86-83 and have lost just once in 18 games on their own court this season.

Point guard Daniel Hildreth believes the team spirit and vocal backing which saw off Plymouth can help Thunder into the last four.

He said: "Things weren't going well on Saturday and we started to get at each other a bit but then we said "Right, we can't do this' and we got together and fought back.

"We had a great crowd, they were very loud and really helped us out. Saturday felt the start of our play-offs and we have got to gel together and build on that."
