Round 4 results:
Leeds Rhinos 53-72 London Pulse
Nottingham Forest 73-71 Loughborough Lightning
Cardiff Dragons 47-72 Manchester Thunder
London Mavericks 69-68 Birmingham Panthers
My highlights:
- Leeds Rhinos held firm against London Pulse and they were only trailing by two goals at the end of the third quarter, but Pulse show their youthful experience to get the job done.
- Nottingham Forest take the win in the high-scoring thriller of an East Midlands derby. Our region is red!
- London Mavericks yet again sneak away with the three points as they condemn Birmingham Panthers to yet another loss.
