Pertemps Bullets Birmingham maintained a 100% record with their second win in as many days, this time a 68-78 success at Milton Keynes Lions. 

So, there was no dream result for Nigel Lloyd, against his old club, although it was a very close game, which saw Bullets’ only really pull ahead to a significant margin in the closing minutes. There were only two points in it at half-time, as Bullets led 41-39, but by the end of the next quarter, it was Lions who led by two at 55-53. 

A 9-3 run to close the game by Bullets saw them win more comfortably than had looked likely earlier in the game. Andrew Alleyne put up stiff resistance for the home side, with a game-high 23 points, while Chris Watson was again the Bullets’ top marksman with 19 points to his name.

"Sunday's game saw a lot of tired legs, but we got it done" declared Bullets coach Lance Randall. "Our guys fought and we had so many guys step up."
