Rocks Bounce Back [return]

The SAMG Verve Scottish Rocks bounced back from last Sunday’s disappointing loss with an impressive 67-89 victory over 2nd place Milton Keynes Lions. The win moves the Rocks into 3rd place in the BBL Championship table.

The Rocks were led by Maurice “Squeaky” Hampton with 22 points. Co-captain Rob Yanders added 19 and Arbroath’s Gareth Murray had 14.

Head Coach Sterling Davis was pleased with the victory, but echoed Yanders’ pre-game sentiment about the Braehead side’s desire for more.

“The team played well tonight as I expected. We have always been a team that bounces back from a tough defeat.

“What I can admit is that I didn’t expect us to win as convincingly as we did. I felt a sense of concentration from the time we left Glasgow until we arrived in Milton Keynes.

“We are pleased as a team with the win, but not satisfied. We still have 14 games remaining on the schedule.”

It’s a quick turn-around for the Rocks as they have just 1 day to recover from their southern journey before facing Sheffield Sharks at Braehead on Sunday.
