Victories have been scarce for Edinburgh Rocks this season but the Meadowbank outfit picked up their fourth BBL scalp of the season on Saturday, defeating Derby Storm 98-92.

Inevitably the encounter between the league's two worst teams lacked drama but not effort, the Scots clearly motivated to end their slump as they raced into a nine point lead in the first quarter.

They would never trail again against a Derby side which missed their top player Barry Bowman and although Storm guard Jermaine Brown fired in a superb 45 points tally, it was not enough. The Rocks took a 47-40 cushion into the half-time break and stretched their advantage to 14 before a late rally from the visitors.

"We have to take heart from that," said coach Iain Maclean, whose side was led by 37 points from Ted Berry. "Everyone contributed and we can go into the final five games with more confidence."
