London Lions edged Manchester Basketball 91–86 in SLB action, pulling out a five-point road win in a game that stayed tight into the closing minutes. London’s offense was led by Kameron McGusty, who finished with a game-high 24 points, while Manchester countered with 22 points from P. Smith in a balanced home effort. The Lions generated efficient scoring throughout, shooting 27-of-49 from the field (55.0%) and adding 7 three-pointers on 18 attempts. They also controlled key possession areas, finishing with a 40–34 rebounding advantage and 18 assists, which helped them withstand Manchester’s runs and keep their offense organized late. Manchester showed shot-making from deep (8-of-28 from three) and got additional scoring support from J. Johnson and M. Jones (15 points each). However, London’s combination of efficiency and extra second-chance opportunities proved decisive, with Tarik Phillip adding 17 points to give the Lions a reliable secondary scorer alongside McGusty. The result gives London a valuable win and reinforces their ability to close games behind efficient half-court execution and rebounding. For Manchester, the narrow loss highlights encouraging perimeter production and multiple scoring options, but also the importance of matching London’s efficiency and physicality on the glass in late-game situations.
