Pertemps Bullets Birmingham rallied hard in the second half to overcome Edinburgh Rocks by  98-81 in the BBL on Saturday night, the  reverse at Aston Villa matching the Meadowbank side's eleven match run of losses sustained at the beginning of their inaugural season three years ago. 

Despite a game leading 28 points from Ted Berry, the Scots could not build on a promising start which had seen them hold a four point lead at the close of the first and second quarters.

Birmingham, sparked by Brant Bailey who hit a team leading 21, re-took the initiative after half-time.

An 18-4 burst in the third period put them back in control and they eventually sealed the points with a 16-6 start to the final quarter, building a cushion which the Rocks had no hope of erasing.
