The
Giants' players responded to Alleyne's words to give themselves a big chance of qualifying
for the quarter-finals of the Trophy.
They came out in front at the end of the
first-quarter after opening an 8 point lead.
They then extended their lead and kept the
coachless hosts at arms length, to extend the lead into double figures. From there they
finished the game 77-61 to claim a vital away victory.
Giants were without veteran star, Tony Holley
after the club released him mid-week so that he could go to play in Israel. Giants were
also missing Julius Joseph due to his knee injury, but had Martin Gottfried and Brian
Earl.
Brian Reese top-scored for the Giants in which
was only his second game for the side, with 22 points. Ted Berry scored 17 for the Rocks.
Giants must get a win over the Newcastle
Eagles at the MEN Arena on Friday 8th December, to stay in the competition.
