The game had extra significance as it was also the last league game that Thunder’s Zaire Taylor would play at the Thunderdome before his retirement from being a full-time player after a fantastic career in English basketball.
With a few minutes remaining Taylor came off court for the last time in a league game at the Thunderdome to a standing ovation from his adoring fans.
His five years in Worthing has rejuvenated the team and he has become one of the biggest figures since the iconic days of Worthing Bears in the mid-90s.
Taylor formally announced his retirement and was showered with gifts and with shouts of ‘one more year’ echoing round the arena the evening came to an end!
