BURY — Mark Rangeley had 24 points and 10 rebounds, but Lancashire let slip a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter as Bradford came back to win 97-94 on Saturday in National League 1.
Zion Tordoff responded from a difficult performance at London last Sunday and finished with 16 points, seven rebound and five assists.
Jack Hudson and David Ulph added 16 points each whilst David Walsh had 13 for Lancashire (5-14, 4-10), who has lost four consecutive games, including two from a winning position.
Lancashire led by as many as 15 in the second half, but had a 94-85 advantage pulled back over the final three minutes as Bradford closed on a 12-0 run. Konrad Kantoriski missed a 3-pointer as time expired in a bid to send the game to overtime.
The Spinners, who had 17 second chance points, missed their last six shots and a pair of free throws, which would have given them a three-point lead with 30 seconds left.
Rihards Sucls led Bradford (12-10, 9-7) with 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting – all scored inside the paint – and Ricky Fetske added 20 points to go along with 12 rebounds.
NOTES: Lancashire outrebounded Bradford 40-31 (16-6 offensive) … James Banton scored all seven of his points in the opening quarter.
