It looked as though the East Midlands club would come away from Devon with a much needed victory though when they led 22-23, 33-39 and 51-59 at the end of the first three quarters.

However, after falling behind 66-70 the Raiders pegged it back to 68-70 with a two by Gaylon Moore and then went ahead with free throws by Anthony Martin and Andrew Lasker to complete the victory. Lasker led all scorers with 25-points.
