London United suffered a heavy reverse at the Scottish Rocks was a severely depleted squad made the 850 mile round trip to Glasgow to take on the Scottish Rocks, a side they had beaten at the Braehead Arena at the start of the season.

However, United felt the backlash from the Rock’s narrow BBL Cup Final defeat to Guildford Heat the previous weekend as the home side romped to a 100-64 victory. Despite the margin of victory, United put in a reasonable performance dominating the rebounding plus double points contributions from Tarick Johnson (19), Marlin Capers (17) and Perry Lawson (10). However, United had no answer to Rocks phenomenal shooting.

48 of their 100pt total came in 3-pointers at an amazing 64% as Hugo Sterk, Moritz Wohlers and Maurice Hampton drained treys from all around the arc.
