Back-to-back wins prove the Eagles still mean business heading into the final weekend of regular season hoops.

And a third victory on the bounce against Bristol Flyers this afternoon would reinforce the view that the men in black remain genuine play-off contenders.

"The guys have got to try and rest up and be ready to go again against a really physical and competitive Bristol team," said Steutel.

Newcastle face the Flyers less than 48 hours after bagging a brilliant 95-87 road win at Surrey 89ers on Saturday.

And Steutel added: "Every game right now is really important. We want to be playing our best basketball at this time of the year and I feel like the last two games have really shown some consistency and some togetherness.

"I'm looking for the same again when the Flyers are in town.

"We want to continue to build upon the level of execution that we've had over the last two games.
