Victory over Panthers: 113-62 [return]

SAMG Verve Scottish Rocks cruised to another impressive victory with a thumping of the Birmingham Panthers by 113-62 on Sunday night at Braehead Arena. The 51 point margin topped the Rocks previous season best victory gap of 47 which they tallied last Sunday against the same Birmingham squad.

The Rocks had a balanced attack with eight players in double figures as player/coach Sterling Davis led the way with 18. Arbroath’s Gareth Murray had 17, co-captain Rob Yanders 16, and “Squeaky” Hampton added 15.

Glasgow’s Scott Russell had his best game of the season playing 26 minutes and scoring 11 points. Big Andrew Sanders of Edinburgh also had his best game so far scoring 10.

The win brings the Rocks level on 32 points with 4th place Milton Keynes whom they will now focus their attention on. The top 4 teams at the end of the season will qualify to host quarterfinal playoff games.

The Rocks best chance to overtake the Lions comes in their next game when the two teams go head-to-head at Braehead Arena on Wednesday 26 March. That all important game will likely determine the Rocks playoff fate and discounted tickets are on offer for a limited time.
