Dave Gardner became only the sixth player in British basketball history to amass 6000 league points as his Chester Jets went top of the North with a 101-79 win over Derby Storm. 

After missing two first half free throws either which would have brought up the 6000, Gardner made a fastbreak lay-up to reach the landmark with 8.20s left in the game. The Jets led for much of the game and 18 unanswered third quarter points gave them an unassailable 75-46 lead, James Hamilton and Loren Meyer showing no ill effects from Saturday's All-Star outing with 27 and 22 points respectively.

Derby's Barry Bowman led all scorers with 28.
