Leicester Riders are now the only other unbeaten side left after their victory at Plymouth Raiders saw them to three from three. Sheffield Sharks are into third after they defeated Plymouth Raiders on Friday evening to improve to three wins from four and the Surrey Scorchers grabbed two victories this weekend with wins against Leeds Force and Worcester Wolves, seeing them into fifth with three wins from five games. Glasgow Rocks grabbed their first win of the season, handing Cheshire Phoenix their first defeat in the process, whilst in the BBL Cup, Cheshire Phoenix, Worcester Wolves and London Lions booked their places in the Quarter Finals after victories against Bristol Flyers, Manchester Giants and Leeds Force respectively. The Worcester Wolves, Manchester Giants and Leeds Force are now the only remaining sides left with no points in the Championship after the latest weekend so Wolves victory in the Cup will give them some heart no doubt.
