Guildford Heat were merciless in their treatment of Worcester Wolves in the Setanta Sports 1 televised match at The Spectrum.

The Heat bounced straight back from losing their league title to Newcastle Eagles with a comprehensive 106-79 victory, which moves them into second place in the BBL.

After racing out to a 23-10 lead the Heat were pegged back to 25-16 at the end of the first quarter. Wolves refused to go away in the second quarter as they closed to 36-32 before Heat unleashed a three-point barrage to move 49-40 ahead at half time.

Guildford continued to punish Wolves from behind the arc and scoring fast break points from Worcester turnovers in the third quarter. A 25-15 run took the score from 58-52 to 83-67 heading into the final stanza.

There was no way back for Wolves from there as Heat coach Paul James took the opportunity of emptying his bench.

James Jones celebrated his call up to the Great Britain training squad with a game high 22-points including six from nine three-pointers.
