vs.

SAMG Verve Scottish Rocks took their opportunity against a resting Guildford Heat side to clinch fifth spot in the BBL and with it a visit to Marshall MK Lions on Wednesday evening.

The Heat had already secured their second place berth and so despite starting with his full strength team, coach Paul James used his star players sparingly even when Rocks surged ahead.

Rocks took the lead for good at 12-9 on the back of a Rob Yanders three and controlled the match from there. A 24-21 first quarter lead was extended to 45-35 at half time and on to 69-54 at the end of three quarters.

A Sterling Davis three gave the home side their biggest lead of the night at 74-54 as they won the battle with Sheffield Sharks for fifth.
