Edinburgh Rocks coach Iain Maclean felt obliged to apologise for his his team's shortcomings after the Meadowbank outfit were crushed 94-56 by Milton Keynes Lions in the BBL Championship on Sunday.

The Scots - 116-75 losers at Leicester on Saturday - engaged in what has become a depressingly familiar sight this season, holding their own briefly in the initial exchanges before collapsing heavily under pressure.

"I've never felt so frustrated," lamented Maclean. "We showed no desire, no intensity and no cohesion. Once teams switch up a gear and get ahead, we give up."

20 unanswered points around the first quarter break put the visitors 34-17 ahead and with Rocks leading scorer Ted Berry a dead-weight before his eventual removal, Edinburgh were not even at the races.

Rock Winston  led his side with 20 points while Jason Siemon hit 24 for the victors, most of his tally coming in the Lions decisive first quarter surge.
