Basketball: Kings steal the limelight
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE American Chris Fite edged Manchester Giants to a 68-65 win at Sunderland Scorpions on Saturday night, to keep them neck and neck with the champions, Worthing Bears, at the top of the Budweiser League, writes Duncan Hooper. But the all- English Guildford Kings stole the weekend's honours with an astonishing 64-57 win over third-placed Thames Valley Tigers last night.
Fite, a 6ft 8in forward, scored four of Giants' last five points against 10th-placed Sunderland, after the game had been tied at 63-63.
Guildford have no Americans, with the league still refusing to allow import-in-waiting Doug Arnold to play, but Karl Brown and Julio Politi provided the cutting edge while their defence ground Tigers into submission.
Tigers' Nigel Lloyd scored six three-pointers in Saturday's 115-94 win at Derby.
