Sheffield stay perfect over Rocks



 
 

In three seasons, Edinburgh Rocks have never managed to defeat Sheffield Sharks and given their current lowly ranking in the BBL, it was little surprise that the Scots fared no better on Sunday. 

The Yorkshire outfit strolled to a 99-56 victory at Sheffield Arena to complete a season-sweep over Iain Maclean's side which underlined the gulf between top and bottom.
   
Sheffield's Peter Scantlebury hit a game-best 28, enough to make him the first 9,000 point scorer in the league and after an even first period, his team widened the gap to 50-32 by half-time. 

When Edinburgh gave up a further eight points without reply in the third quarter, there was no route back as the Sharks rolled to a simple result despite the absence of the injured Terrell Myers.
 
"When you get put down as severely and as often as we are, it becomes soul destroying," admitted Maclean. "In the first quarter I though we were more disciplined and played with more energy. I thought this was going to be one of the nights where we could compete but it wasn't to be."

Jo-Jo Chambers led the Rocks with 18 while Mike Payne added 21 for Sheffield.
