SAMG Verve Scottish Rocks moved themselves into joint third position in the BBL Championship table thanks to a 77-57 victory over the PAWS London Capital at the Braehead Arena on Sunday evening.

After a close opening quarter which saw the Rocks edge it 18-11, the Rocks took control of the game in the second period, restricting the Capital to just eight points in the quarter. The Rocks themselves netted twenty-five of their own, including an 11-1 tear to close out the quarter to take the score out to 43-19 at the half.

The second half saw the Rocks continue to assert their authority on the game, and maintained a twenty-three point lead at 64-31 going into the final stanza. In the final quarter, the Capital tried desperately to get themselves back in the game, and a 15-1 burst midway through the quarter bought the score back to 72-48.

The Capital continued to claw their way back into the game, and despite scoring the last seven points of the contest, they could not overturn the deficit as the Rocks held on to secure the win.

Moritz Wohlers led all scorers in the game with 17 points for the Rocks, while Ibrahim Gariba and Mansour Mbeye led the Capital scoring with 15 points a-piece.
