Glasgow Rocks completed the BBL Cup Quarter-Finals line-up after defeating Leeds Force 84-65 at the Emirates Arena, in the final First Round clash on Sunday.

Sterling Davis’ side only trailed once throughout as they produced a strong finish to make sure of the win in the final quarter.

GB veteran Kieron Achara played an important role from the bench as he amassed a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double in 22 minutes. Three other players hit double figures, including Warren Gillis, who had a team-high of 18 points.

After edging ahead at the end of the first, the home side pulled clear in the second with an 11-0 run helping Rocks lead by as many as 17 in the period.

Leeds began to fight back in the second half and closed within single figures at 67-59 with six minutes to go, but Glasgow repelled their opponents’ charge with a 12-2 response to secure victory.

The visitors fell to their second defeat of the weekend despite a 23-point haul from D’Andre Bullard. Force captain Armand Anebo had 10 points and 13 rebounds as the only other player in double figures.

The Rocks progress to set up a last eight showdown with Esh Group Eagles Newcastle.
