Former Bullets' favourite Nigel Lloyd gained revenge against his former side as the Milton Keynes Lions recorded a comfortable 73-88 success over the Pertemps Bullets Birmingham on Saturday night to move up to second place in the South.

The Lions held the Bullets to single figures in the first quarter racing into a 24-9 advantage from which the home team could not recover. 

To cap a bad evening for Birmingham, coach Lance Randall was ejected for a second technical foul and Yorrick Williams received a disqualifying foul.

Lions Jason Siemon top scored with 28 points while Brant Bailey ran up  a team-high 18 for faltering Birmingham.
