Raiders record first win
The Plymouth Raiders recorded a shock 96-95 win at home to BBL leaders Newcastle Eagles.
Florentino Valencia made two free throws to force overtime, and Anthony Martin claimed the winning points with 50 seconds remaining in the extra period - for the Raiders' first victory of the season.
Guildford Heat moved into the leading pack after a hard-fought 78-71 win over Worthing Thunder.
Thunder recovered from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to trail 64-63 in the last three minutes, but Heat's Julius Joseph and Kenny Langhorne both scored threes to move their team away once again.
Worcester Wolves held off a late charge to eventually beat DMU Leicester Riders 113-111 on their home floor.
Glasgow Rocks took advantage of London Capital's slow start to win 83-65 and move into seventh place.
