Glasgow Rocks wrapped up the fifth seed for the BBL play-offs with victory at Plymouth Raiders on the final day of the BBL Championship season on Sunday.

Tayo Ogedengbe and Danny Huffor stepped up in the absence of club player-of-the-year Kieron Achara to share 63 points as the Scottish club outscored their opponents 28-17 in the third quarter.

This allowed Sterling Davis' side to come from behind and claim a 100-85 win, which settles the three-way fight for fifth place - by virtue of Rocks holding the head-to-head tie-breaker with London Lions.
