Newcastle claimed the BBL Championship title for the third time in four years by defeating the Scottish Rocks 87-70.

Trey Moore led all scorers with 23 points for the Eagles at the MetroRadio Arena, with Reggie Jackson posting 15 points, 10 assists and six rebounds.

Newcastle have won their last 16 games - 13 of them in the league - and are just one short of their best-ever run.

The ailing Rocks, meanwhile, have lost their last nine games and are at a slight risk of missing the playoffs.
