WORCESTER Wolves will be looking to bounce back from last weekend’s double defeat when they head to in-form One Health Sharks Sheffield tonight (7.30pm).

Wolves had been unbeaten in their opening seven contests prior to league and BBL Cup reverses against Plymouth University Raiders and Leicester Riders.

Those results leave them with a 6-1 league record, identical to the Sharks, who last week beat Cheshire Phoenix in the championship and London Lions in the cup.

For Wolves coach Paul James, it’s all about how his team reacts in the top-of-the-table clash in front of the BBL television cameras.

He said: “At some point we were always bound to lose a game.

“It is now how we deal with that which will determine where we are as a team.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how we respond to this minor setback.”

James added: “Those games, I hope, will serve as a lesson to us and we can get back to doing what we have done very well leading up to these defeats.”

And there appears no greater test of that currently than high-flying Sharks.

“Sheffield have not gone under my radar,” James added.

“They have been going about their work really well and are not to be taken lightly.”

Wolves’ BBL player-of-the-month Will Creekmore feels teams are now starting to adjust to his presence.

Creekmore said: “It seems like teams have begun to ‘game-plan’ for me a little bit by fronting me with a centre and bringing help from the weak side.

“For me, that just means that someone else is going to be open so I am going to continue posting up hard and trying to make the right play when I get the ball.”
