It wasn't quite the Valentine's Day massacre that Iain Maclean feared but the Rocks still came away from Essex with yet another defeat.

The Leopards pulled off a 100-87 win over visiting Edinburgh Rocks on Wednesday night at Brentwood, but needed a final quarter push to take the points which moved Bob Donewald's side up to second in the Southern Conference.

A superb 28 points and 10 rebounds contribution from Jo-Jo Chambers was a big plus for the visitors and despite the absence of the injured Rock Winston, the Scots pushed their hosts all the way and led 44-36 after some impressive shooting in the first half.

However Leopards retrieved the lead in third quarter and burst decisively in front with 12-2 burst in the fourth, Jason Kimbrough leading the visitors with 22 points.

Rod Brown was one assist short of a rare triple-double, adding 17 points and 14 rebounds to his nine assists.
