Birmingham Bullets snatched a dramatic quarter-final win in the ntl:home National Cup at the Coventry Skydome after a 67-66 defeat of Edinburgh Rocks, stealing victory with a score five seconds from the finish. 

It was Ted Berry who paced Edinburgh's scoring with 18, spurring the fightback after Birmingham grabbed a ten point advantage in the second quarter. Down 40-32 at half-time, the
Rocks tenaciously wore Bullets down and eventually went in front midway through the final period after consecutive three pointers from Scottish international Keith Bunyan.

Berry fouled out however in the penultimate minute, allowing the Midlands outfit to regain the lead but Ryan Huntley, playing through injury, again put Edinburgh in front. However on their final chance, Lance Randall's side stole a last four berth, Rashod Johnson firing a three pointer to leave the Rocks stunned.

"We were lucky out there," said Randall, whose team were led by Ben Walker's 16 point haul.
