London Lions continued their historic EuroCup run as they beat Promitheas Patras 77-67 in Greece.

The win marks the team's third consecutive victory in the European competition and moves them up to fifth in Group B, after becoming the first UK team since 2004 to win away from home in the competition earlier in the season - beating Veolia Hamburg Towers 103-75.

The latest game, played at the Dimitris Tofalos Arena in Patras, was tied at 64-64 midway through the final quarter before the Lions' quality shone through in the final few minutes to clinch victory.

The team was led by Sam Dekker who scored 20 points and was supported by Vojech Hruban scoring 14 and the Lions are hitting form at just the right time.

Their next game in the competition is another tough away clash in Turkey against Turk Telekom on December 14 and their campaign this season marks an historic moment not just for the London-based side, but also a potential turning point for the growth of British basketball.

Lions are the first UK team to be included in the EuroCup since 2007 and have assembled a star-studded roster with a hybrid of homegrown tier-one talent, in addition to ex-NBA and further international signings, with the diverse squad boasting an abundance of experience playing in major basketball leagues around the world.

"It was a great, well-fought game and I'm really proud of our guys," said head coach Ryan Schmidt.

"It wasn't pretty and we struggled on the offensive end - we had some of our better offensive players, Zubcic and Nelson who really struggled hitting shots, but I thought the resiliency was impressive from our group.

"I'm really proud of our group to register this big road win, to get to four wins in the competition and to continue to trying to build on it and keep improving."
