London Lions rounded off their campaign with a Play-off double against Leicester Riders at London's O2 Arena.

Lions showed their class in both finals in front of a capacity crowd in the capital, highlighting the outstanding growth of the sport in the UK over the past 12 months. 

The matches epitimised the wave of momentum behind British basketball - an electric atmosphere, incredible talent on show as the leagues made a statement of intent with another showstopping event. 

An 88-80 victory for the Lions men saw them complete a domestic treble and cap a landmark season with a commanding home city performance against their fiercest rivals. 

Ryan Schmidt’s side have claimed the Championship, Cup and Play-off titles this season, in addition to their record-breaking run in the EuroCup and on British basketball’s biggest stage they showed their quality as the team to beat with yet another outstanding showing. 

Riders may have lost their crown but they played their part in a pulsating final that went down to the wire, following an exhilarating fourth quarter, where the sides demonstrated the immense quality on show in the BBL. 

Even in the absence of former NBA star Sam Dekker, Lions dominated the scoreboard, highlighting the illustrious strength in depth throughout their roster.

Jordan Taylor took the personal accolade of MVP with a stunning performance, scoring 15 points, seven assists and five rebounds, and said: “It’s been amazing. I think a lot of guys in our position chase NBA and EuroLeague but for me, I can honestly say this has been the most special, because you get to build something not only in the country but this is the most at home I have felt.”

Head coach Schmidt added: “When you look back on today but also reflect on the entire season, I am proud of our group.

“A lot of achievements and a lot of firsts and this is just a special group of individuals and professionals and I tell them all the time, I am proud and honoured to be able to coach these guys.”

The Women’s final saw London Lions complete back-to-back clean sweeps with another trophy quadruple, defeating Riders in a major final for the third time this season. 

The Lions’ unprecedented success has seen them fly the flag for British basketball in Europe and they have shown their talent throughout the campaign, losing just once. 

Just as when the sides met in Glasgow in the Trophy Final, it was a closely fought game, but the Lions made the big plays count in a 57-41 win to secure the silverware once more. 

Rising star, Ty Battle, put in a clutch performance to secure the MVP award, with a staggering 15 rebounds, two assists and eight points as she lit up The O2.

Azania Stewart announced her retirement following the game and said: “This was so special for me. I’ve given a lot to the game, and it’s given a lot to me. I’m really happy to finish in London, in front of my fans, in front of my city. 

"It’s a big time for me. There was never the WNBA or WBBL, but now I take time to do signatures with kids and meet players. Women’s sport and women’s basketball is fun and exciting and it’s going to be here for a long time.”
