Everton Tigers kept the opportunity of finishing seventh in their first season in the BBL in their own hands with an 82-68 win over Scottish Rocks.

It was a bad defeat for the Rocks with it moving them down into sixth place because of Sheffield Sharks holding the head-to-head series against the Glasgow-based club.

After leading 14-19 at the end of the first quarter the Rocks allowed Tigers to nose ahead 39-37 heading into the half time interval. During the break the crowd were entertained by basketball legends the Harlem Globetrotters.

Tigers dominated the third quarter to lead 55-46 and then Great Britain guard Richard Midgley nailed several three-pointers, on his way to a game-high 32-points, as the home team closed out the match with a 12-3 run.
