The London Lions put on a dominant all-around performance on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Caledonia Gladiators 96-51 at Playsport Arena in Glasgow.
The win served as a statement performance just a week after the Lions edged the Gladiators 81-73 at home.
The win continued the Lions unbeaten run in Super League Basketball play and highlighted the team's defensive identity and balanced scoring attack.
Amin Adamu led the way with 20 points, while Ethan Price added 15 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
The Lions’ pressure forced early turnovers and fuelled fast-break opportunities, with Joel Scott scoring 10 of his 12 points in the first quarter and Tarik Phillip adding energy off the bench.
By halftime, London had built a commanding 49-15 lead, holding the Gladiators to just five made field goals in the first 20 minutes.
The Lions continued to control every aspect of the game in the second half.
Deane Williams anchored the paint with hustle and rim protection, while Johnathan Williams added 14 points in 14 minutes, including a smooth jumper to close the third quarter with London up 77-30.
Caledonia struggled to find rhythm offensively, committing 17 turnovers and shooting just under 19% from three. Kevin Allen was a bright spot for the hosts with 23 points and 8 rebounds, while Rian Holland added six points and three assists.
London Lion’s 63% shooting from the field and almost 91% mark at the line capped a composed and clinical performance.
The Lions remain perfect at 6-0 in Super League Basketball play and now gear up for a big week at the Copper Box Arena, with Türk Telekom Ankara visiting today (Wednesday) in EuroCup play and the Leicester Riders coming to town Sunday, with tickets available for both on Ticketmaster.
