Game Recap
London Lions delivered a commanding 78-49 victory over Liverpool in SLB action, controlling the game with balanced scoring and efficient team play. The Lions’ depth was a major factor, with five players reaching double figures as they steadily built separation and finished with a 29-point winning margin.
Kennedy Thomas led London with 15 points, setting the tone as the team’s top scorer. Evans Keenan added 11 points, while Lewis Maxwell, E. Price and E. Zibuda each contributed 10 points, giving the Lions multiple scoring options and making it difficult for Liverpool to focus defensively on one player.
London’s ball movement stood out, as the Lions recorded 21 assists compared with Liverpool’s 8. Although Liverpool held a 41-36 rebounding edge, the visitors struggled to convert that advantage into offense, shooting just 2-of-20 from three-point range. London’s superior perimeter production and overall execution helped them maintain control throughout the contest.
For London, the result reinforces their ability to win through depth, spacing and unselfish play. Liverpool will need to address its outside shooting and offensive creation going forward, as the lack of assists and three-point efficiency made it difficult to keep pace once London established momentum.
