If - as now seems likely - reigning champions Manchester Giants suffer the indignity of missing out altogether on the play-offs, they will surely look back the losses sustained to the BBL's bottom three sides.

Derby Storm joined that club on Thursday, putting a huge dent in the playoff aspirations of the Giants by coming from behind to defeat their hosts 85-99.
 
The Storm were led by a game high 26 points from Barry Bowman as they rattled off an impressive 37 points to come from 64-62 behind at three quarter time. 

The victory lifts Storm four points clear of the Edinburgh Rocks at the foot of the Northern Conference. 

Giants were led by 23 points from Julius Joseph.
