Worthing bounced back from Saturday's disappointing one point defeat to hang on for a crucial two point win yesterday to boost their NBL play-off push.

Thunder held on to win 82-80 in yesterday's clash with Hackney.

Having led by 19 points at one stage of a dreadful contest, the visitors clawed their way back but ran out of time before they could complete the comeback.

Thunder went down 93-92 at Manchester Magic on Saturday despite enjoying spells of domination.

Thunder led 74-67 after three minutes of the fourth period but were hauled back by the shooting of 27-point Steven Gayle.
