Three losses end a challenging week for the Patriots

Cheshire Phoenix would be the first game, in front of a sold out Pavilions crowd. The Nix, as they are better known, are current Trophy Champions and sit in second place in the BBL table and showed signs of their brilliance in the first half against the Patriots.

The home side however, rose to the challenge and managed to put together some of their best basketball of the season, heading into the half-time break still in the contest.

The second half however, proved to be a very different story. The visitors bombarded the Patriots with trademark three-pointer after three-pointer. The Nix took a commanding lead and continued to rain down threes as the game reached its final seconds. The Patriots would lose 112-80.
