Game Recap
Cheshire Phoenix produced a commanding 98-77 win over Leicester Riders in SLB action, controlling the contest with efficient scoring, strong rebounding and balanced contributions across the roster. The Phoenix’s 21-point margin reflected their ability to create separation and sustain it, while Leicester struggled to match Cheshire’s shot-making and physical presence over the course of the game.
Cheshire’s offense was led by Laquincy Rideau and Skyler White, who each scored 18 points, while F. A. Policelli added 16 and T. Cameron contributed 15. That spread of production made the Phoenix difficult to contain, with multiple players able to punish defensive attention. Cheshire also moved the ball effectively, finishing with 21 assists, and their perimeter shooting helped stretch Leicester’s defense.
Leicester’s leading scorer was X. Bledson with 16 points, but the Riders were unable to generate enough consistent offense to keep pace. According to the listed team statistics, Cheshire shot 50.0% from the field and collected 53 rebounds, while Leicester shot 38.0% and finished with 33 rebounds. That rebounding gap was a major factor, giving Cheshire control of possessions and limiting Leicester’s second-chance opportunities.
