The win moves the Rocks into sole posession of 5th place in the BBL Championship table just 2 points behind Guildford and Plymouth who sit in 3rd and 4th place respectively.
Squeaky Hampton paced the Rocks for the second consecutive night as he led all scorers with 26 points. Co-captains Julius Joseph and Rob Yanders also had big nights with 19 and 18 points respectively.
The win keeps alive the Rocks title hopes and should give them confidence as they look ahead to next Sunday's BBL Trophy contest with Newcastle.
Unless Everton can turn the tables on Newcastle Tuesday night, the Rocks will require a 25 point victory over the Eagles to assure qualification for the semi-finals. No small task, but certainly not impossible considering the team's performance this weekend.
While the squad heads back to Glasgow on a late bus,
Bilal Clarance has hopped a train to Birmingham where he will compete in Sunday's inaugural Molten 3-point Shootout. Clarance leads a field of the League's best shooters with a 50% shooting average from 3-point land.
Look for the results here tomorrow...
