IT'S WOLVES - AWAY

THUNDER WILL finally pay a potentially season-ending price in the play-offs quarter-finals. Having managed to lose at Worcester Wolves in February by eight more than the 29 points by which they beat them at home in November, they must now revisit Wolves in the last eight.

On Saturday, Worthing rampaged to a 96-77 win over PAWS London Capitals.

Guard Steven Gayle said: "I try to do what the teams needs. It's not all about scoring. Hopefully, people see that. I try to do rebounding and assists. I want to thank the fans who voted for me. It might be a make-up for last year.

"Teon's trying to play hard and he's capable of scoring when he wants."

Centre Teon Knox commented: "I knew I'd have to improve and I said at Christmas I was going to step up and bring it to every game. I've been rebounding, passing the ball, and scoring 20 points every night.

"Steve (Gayle] deserved to be MVP too. He's played some big games.

"The fans here are pretty nice. Most Americans seem only to stay one year but they're asking me to stay.

"I hope we can get to another final before I leave."
