Scotland men's hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the 3x3 Basketball at the Commonwealth Games suffered a blow with a 21-13 defeat by New Zealand.

The Scots had defeated Nigeria 21-16 earlier on Sunday but now sit third in the Pool A table behind Australia and New Zealand.

While Scotland have won three of their five games, the two Antipodean sides have won four, with Australia also having a game in hand.

But the Scots top the tables in both wheelchair events.

The men beat Malaysia 18-6 and head Pool B on their own with two wins.

The women top their Pool B along with Wales with two wins each after beating India 21-4.
