London Towers extended their lead at the top of the Southern Conference by beating second-placed Pertemps Bullets Birmingham 94-79 at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre on Sunday, an ideal warm-up for the hosts Euroleague starter against Frankfurt on Wednesday.

After a close opening quarter, Towers turned the game in their favour with a superb second quarter, outscoring the Bullets 21-6. 

The visitors rallied in the third quarter, thanks to some good play by their captain, Chris Watson and guard Virgel Cobbin. 

However, it wasn' t enough, as Steve Bucknall and Jerry Hester took control down the stretch, Hester ending with 20 points behind Kendrick Warren who notched a game-high 23.

Watson and Brant Bailey led Bullets with 20 apiece, their side's defeat leaving Towers with the sole unblemished record in the South.

The one disappointment for Towers on the night was an injury to debut boy Eric Burks who pulled a hamstring in the second quarter and
played no further part.
