Middleton top scored for Wolves with 23 points.

Worcester Wolves are one of the early pace setters in the BBL after their second win of the season when they hammered Essex Pirates 44-93.

Wolves began well with Rod Middleton opening the contest with back-to-back three pointers as they went on to lead 23-11 after the opening quarter.

An early 10-0 burst by the Wolves put them further ahead but the Pirates hit back with an 11-2 response.

Worcester remained in control and led 56-33 at the end of the third.

Worcester ended any hopes of a home fight-back with a 14-0 run before Zac Gachette added six points late on for Pirates.

Wolves head coach Paul James said afterwards: "It was a very professional performance and I was impressed with our attitudes throughout."
