WORCESTER Wolves recorded their eighth British League victory in a row after cruising to a convincing 74-48 win over Bristol Flyers.

Success at the University Arena on Friday night also saw Paul James’ side bounce back from their BBL Trophy quarter-final loss at Leicester Riders.

On a night when every Wolves player got on the scoresheet, captain Alex Owumi led the way with 20 points followed by Chavis Holmes and Paul Guede with 12 and 10 respectively.

A stand-out feature of Worcester’s streak of league victories has been the tightness of the scorelines and coach James was happy to finally see his charges achieve a more comfortable win.

He said: “We came out and played a great game with contributions across the board. We had a meeting during the week and thrashed out what we needed to do as a team to get to where we want to be.

“We were very active, with everyone helping each other out, rebounding as a group and hunting in a pack, and the result certainly followed.

“To limit any side to just 48 points shows outstanding determination.”

Wolves pounced on a series of early miscues from their opponents. On consecutive possessions Flyers forward Mathias Seilund allowed Robert Thurman and then Guede to lift the ball from his hand and both players capitalised to score.

Owumi quickly found his range from distance with a couple of three-pointers as his side eased to a 27-20 first quarter lead.

By half-time the advantage had doubled to 43-29 with James already rotating his starters. Recent signing Dejan Radojevic strode in from the bench to confidently slam home an assist from point guard Holmes.

Former University of Worcester student Roy Owen notched a basket shortly after the interval, but it would take until the last two minutes of the third quarter before any other Bristol player was able to trouble the scoreboard.

In the meantime Owumi was again on target with a double of three-pointers and current University of Worcester undergraduates Kalil Irving and Disraeli Lufadeju opened their scoring accounts.

Despite entering the final period with a 58-40 cushion there was no easing up in the intensity of Wolves’ play.

Every Bristol attack to the hoop was met by a swarm of defenders, harassing the visitors into mistakes and setting up simple opportunities at the other end of the court.
