Brighton Bears remain in title contention after stunning Scottish Rocks with an astonishing display of three-point shooting last night.

They won 124-99 at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow, converting 23 of their 33 attempts from outside the arc.

Randy Duck led the way with eight threes from ten attempts while Mike Brown was seven-of-eight from outside the arc.

Rico Alderson added three from four attempts, including a couple of strikes to halt a bright Rocks opening.

Alderson also claimed a game-high 12 rebounds.

Top scorer Sterling Davis was three-of-seven from outside and nine-of-13 from two-point range while Wilbur Johnson had a steady 20 points and seven boards to go with four blocks.

Further bonues for coach Nick Nurse were signs that Ralph Blalock and Jason Medford can make a healthy contribution in the last four regular season games.

Blalock is edging back to full fitness and, though he started on the bench last night, he was moving a lot more freely and produced a couple of nice plays late on.

Duck and Blalock had six assists apiece.

Medford built on the form he showed late in the Leicester game with a lovely spin move for his only basket.

Bears led 58-53 at the half, by which time they had started a 19-0 run which blew the game open.

Rocks led by four in the second quarter and finished the game with 11 threes of their own, from 20 shots, which in itself was very respectable.

Now attention in the title race turns to the Sheffield Arena, where Chester are the visitors tonight.

Bears: Davis 29, Duck 23, Brown 23, Johnson 20, Alderson 20, Blalock 5, Medford 2.

Rocks: Berry 26, Myers 25, Singleotn 21, Perre 10, Huntley 9, Bunyan 6, Kennedy 2.
