Old boy McCord spurs Chester to break Rocks



 
 

BBL Championship
Chester 102   (McCord 30, Davis 29, Thomas 22)
Edinburgh 94  (Gaines 29, Graves 23, Gardner 18)

Chester Jets warmed up for Sunday's National Cup final against Birmingham Bullets with a hard-fought 102-94 defeat of Edinburgh Rocks in the BBL Championship last night. 

The Scots threatened an upset of the Northern Conference leaders by taking an eleven point first quarter lead.

However ex-Rocks favourite John McCord spurred a decisive surge as the hosts fired 39 points in the second quarter to take a 62-51 half-time advantage, the New Yorker eventually top scoring with 30 points.

Their cushion grew to as much as 15 before a late Rocks rally trimmed the deficit. Jon Gaines led the visitors with 29.
