| The EPG Baskets Koblenz Take Control IN Crunch-Time Talking Game 1 In Semi-finals 95-86 Over the BSW Sixers - by Miles Schmidt-Scheuber |
| The EPG Baskets Koblenz cruised through the Pro B south in the regular season, but the playoffs have been another story. With the help of their incredible fans in their living room CGM arena, the club led by head coach Pat Elzie were able to get by the EN Baskets Schwelm and Basketball Lowen Erfurt, but it wasn't a cake walk as they had to go the distance. Their next opponent were the tough BSW Sixers who finished in second place in the Pro B north with a 20-4 record. In the playoffs they had an easier time disposing of Oberaching and the Fraport Skyliners Juniors both in sweeps. They had their defense spot on never allowing more than 66 points in a game. On top of that the EPG Baskets weren't going to be in their living room in the CGM arena, but in their old living room in the Karthause gym, one that is a lot smaller, but that was something they had to deal with. When you get so far all that counts are very good performances on the court. The BSW Sixers came to Koblenz for game 1 and stuck with the EPG Baskets Koblenz for 40 minutes, but in crunch-time lost a little steam and allowed Koblenz to play their game. It was a disheartening loss, but at the end the EPG Baskets just had more left in their tank and executed better at both ends. 'They are a very good team and played a very good game, but so did we. We had a few lapses on defense and they made us pay. They have good shooters and a good point guard. When the thin air comes, you have to be locked in and you can't take any plays off', warned BSW Sixers forward Donte Nicholas. The EPG Baskets Koblenz had their ups and downs in the first quarter, but in the second half upped their intensity and played better together as a team. 'We stuck together for the whole 40 minutes. We had our ups and downs, but executed when we wanted to. We came together in the clutch moments and got stops and made shots', stressed EPG Baskets Koblenz guard Alani Moore. The EPG Baskets Koblenz were given a blow as top point guard Marvin Heckel couldn't suit up due to food poisoning. The school gym was packed as 1,200 people were packed in the gym to see the BSW Sixers jump out to a 7-2 lead and soon after extended it to 17-8. The guests had their offense flowing early getting baskets from German big Marco Rahn, ex BBL player Aleksa Kovacevic and a trey from ex Rhondorf guard Ralph Hounnou. Koblenz had a slow start, but soon stuck to the game plan of going inside by getting Moses Poelking and Brian Butler to the free throw line and ex BBL player Leon Friederici nailed a trey as they trailed only 9-8. Koblenz controlled Mr triple double Donte Nicolas well as he had to pass way more than shoot, so someone else had to take control and that was 22 year old Latvian Kristaps Kilps who supplied back to back three's and a lay in for good measure as the guests led 17-8. The EPG Baskets did a horrible job covering the three point line allowing the Latvian sniper too much room and struggled on their rotations. But after a Koblenz timeout, they came back rejuvenated and closed out the first quarter with a positive 16-7 run to capture the lead at 25-24. The EPG Baskets Koblenz shared the ball better and got more guys involved. They especially got the three ball rolling as ex Iserlohn forward Moritz Huebner and Moore connected, but also showed their inside presence getting lay in's from Friederici and ex Bremerhaven big Niclas Sperber. 'You could see that the team missed Marvin Heckel very much. We didn't do a good job covering the three point line and allowed Kilps to get hot. We closed out the first half well though', stressed EPG Baskets manager Thomas Klein. The second quarter was a tight affair until the last few minutes where the EPG Baskets Koblenz lost total control and served up free gifts which the BSW Sixers took total advantage of. The EPG Baskets Koblenz got a clutch three pointer from ex Coburg guard Yasin Turan and 2 Friederici free throws, but couldn't make ground as the guests got free throws from Kilps and a pull up jumper from Kovacevic to knot the game at 30-30. Koblenz continued to have the slight lead getting a trey from ex BBL player Dominique Johnson and a turn around shot from close range from ex Ehingen center Brian Butler for the 37-32 advantage. After a Kilps lay in and Butler free throw, Koblenz still led 38-34, but the game then began to turn. The BSW Sixers closed out the second quarter with a swift 14-3 run to lead 48-41 at the break. In the run, the guests got a clutch trey from 2018 JBBL winner Evans Rapieque and a lay in on the back door cut by Kilps as Koblenz had no remedy to stop this play as Koblenz trailed 39-38. The BSW Sixers heightened their defensive pressure and got key steals by Kovacevic who scored twice, but he also sparkled with his playmaking setting up 2018 JBBL winner Hendrik Warner for 2 simple lay in's as Koblenz got beat twice on the lob pass as the guests had the 7 point advantage. 'We had too many unforced errors. We had a total lack of concentration. We were lucky they didn't lead with 10-15 points. Their guards dominated on offense and on defense they were clever enough not to allow our bigs into position', stated Thomas Klein. Dontae Nicholas missed a good amount of the second quarter with foul trouble. The BSW Sixers shot 53% from the field and 71% from outside and had 19 rebounds and 10 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 43% from the field and 47% from outside and had 16 rebounds and 10 turnovers. The third quarter was a real classic example of playoff basketball as the EPG Baskets Koblenz fought back and stole the lead back, but led only by 3 points after 30 minutes. The BSW Sixers kept the good lead for a few minutes as Hounnou hit a 15 footer and Marco Rahn a trey for the 55-46 lead. But then came the big moment for sniper and scoring in bunches guard Leon Friederici who has demonstrated so often this season that he can carry his team with his hot shooting. He nailed three in a row and suddenly the BSW Sixers led only 56-55. 'Leon is so important. I had wanted him since 2016. Now you know why. He always plays all in. I just like him', said Thomas Klein. 'We knew coming in what he is capable of. You turn your head for one second and he is already hitting three's. He is a good player', stated Donte Nicholas. The hot three point shooting continued as Dominque Johnson connected and Rahn and Hounnou scored as the guests got the lead back at 62-60. Koblenz grabbed the lead back as they did a good job on the offensive glass as Poelking scored and Moore secured free throws for the 67-62 lead. Nicholas who had been controlled well in the first half found some daylight scoring twice and Kilps made a trey to once again dead lock the game at 69-69. With 39 seconds to play energetic guard Aleksa Kovacevic lay on the ground with severe pain holding his knee. He exited the game and seemed like he wouldn't return. 'Oh he'll be back', warned Thomas Klein. Moritz Huebner closed out the third quarter with a 3 point play and 72-69 EPG Baskets lead. 'Coach told us at half-time that we were playing too soft. We took it personal but in a positive way. We raised our energy and IQ. We also felt this sense of urgency. We all hit shots and gave 120%', stated Alani Moore. 'They ran a set that we hadn't prepared for. We made adjustments but still had defensive lapses', commented Donte Nicholas. In the fourth quarter the EPG Baskets Koblenz gained control despite a valiant effort by the BSW Sixers and true competitor Aleksa Kovacevic who returned to the game after hurting his knee at the end of the third quarter. Little used German guard Moritz Schneider drilled home a trey to tie the game at 72-72. Turan reacted with a three point play and 75-72 Koblenz advantage. Then at the 8,28 minute mark, Aleksa Kovacevic returned. He was limping a bit, but still playing at full force as his adrenaline mus have bene pushing him. He took over the reins again as he hit a trey and made a lay in displaying a pretty pass fake to the wing and finishing himself as Koblenz had the slim 78-77 lead. 'I knew Aleksa was coming back. He is Serbian. They are different. It must be something in the water', smiled Donte Nicholas. 'He is a good point guard. I like playing against good competition. A guy like that makes me better. He showed real heart coming back on the court after his injury. He gave all he had for his team', stated Alani Moore. As crunch time was arriving the EPG Baskets Koblenz knew they had to continue to execute and keep their high intensity against a more fatigued Sixers team and did that executing well as Friederici and Moore connected on clutch three's for the 88-81 advantage. Moore had double duty without Heckel on his side, but he did a fine job shuffling the scoring and playmaking by himself as he finished with 17 points and 12 dimes. 'I knew that I had to make more plays. I took over and got the ball to the hot hand. I tried to be the best leader I could and kept everybody going', warned Alani Moore. Butler followed with a dunk for the 90-81 advantage. The Sixers weren't done yet as Hounnou came through with another trey to cut Koblenz's lead to 90-84, But Koblenz closed out the game with a massive Poelking dunk for the 93-84 lead. Moore and Johnson added free throws for good measure sealing the victory. 'We got them into foul trouble and exploited the mis matches. We went on a run when we do it's hard stopping us', warned Alani Moore. 'We had foul trouble and then the snow ball effect came. They made shots and drew fouls. The game went their way', said Donte Nicholas. The EPG Baskets Koblenz were led by Leon Friederici with 23 points. Alani Moore added 17 points and Dominique Johnson 14 points while the BSW Sixers were led by Aleksa Kovacevic with 25 points while Kristaps Kilps scored 18 points. The EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 48% form the field and 44% from outside and had 38 rebounds and 18 turnovers while the BSW Sixers shot 49% from the field and 50% from outside and had 32 rebounds and 19 turnovers. |

| Tatum sets Game 7 record with 51 points, Celtics beat 76ers 112-88 - by Eurobasket News |
|
Jayson Tatum (6'8''-F/G-1998, college: Duke) gave Boston a long-overdue fast start and followed it up with a finish the NBA had never seen before. After struggling in back-to-back games, Tatum erupted for 51 points - the most in a Game 7 in history - and the Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 112-88 on Sunday to advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the second straight year. One game after missing 14 of his first 15 shots only to awaken in the fourth quarter in time to save their season, Tatum scored 25 in the back-and-forth first half and 17 more in Boston's 33-10 third quarter that turned a three-point lead into a runaway. The Celtics, who lost to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals last year, will face the Miami Heat in the East finals for the second straight season. Game 1 is on Wednesday in Boston. 'I was relieved just to get another chance. Our season could have been over after Game 6,' said Tatum, who broke the Game 7 record of 50 points Stephen Curry set two weeks ago. 'It definitely was on my mind that I had played as bad as it could get, for 43 minutes. 'We had a saying: 'It's only up from here.'' Tatum added 13 rebounds and Jaylen Brown (6'6''-G/F-1996, college: California) scored 25 points for Boston, which rallied from a 3-2 deficit in the series to keep alive their hopes for an unprecedented 18th NBA championship. 'You always come into a series with the expectation of how it's supposed to go,' said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla , who is in his first year as an NBA head coach after being promoted on the eve of training camp after Ime Udoka was suspended. 'That's not how the playoffs are.' Tatum was subbed out of the game with three minutes left to a standing ovation from the crowd, which soon broke out in a 'Beat the Heat!' chant. Miami beat Boston in six games in the 2020 East finals and the Celtics took a seven-game matchup last season. 'It's the best time of the year,' Tatum said. 'As a competitor, I love the opportunity.' Newly crowned NBA MVP Joel Embiid (7'0''-C/F-1994, college: Kansas) scored 15 points on 5-for-18 shooting, and Tobias Harris scored 19 for Philadelphia. The Sixers lost in the conference semifinals for the third straight year, and the fifth time in six seasons; they have not gotten any farther since reaching the NBA Finals in 2001 despite 'The Process' - tanking their way to four top-three draft picks in a row, including Embiid. 'I thought we had the right group. I really did,' said Sixers coach Doc Rivers , who was on the Boston bench when the Celtics won it all in 2008. 'We played great all year and this loss absolutely diminishes what we did this year in some way. ... I think this team is headed right. I thought we took another step this season. And then tonight I think we took a step backward. But that's OK. That happens, too.' Tatum started 0 for 6 in a Game 5 loss and missed 14 of his first 15 shots overall from the floor in Game 6 before making four 3-pointers in the final 4:14 to force the decisive seventh game. He picked up where he left off, scoring Boston's first basket and 11 points in the first quarter, 14 more in the second and outscoring the Sixers on his own, 17-10, in the third. The 33-10 edge in the third was the most lopsided quarter in a Game 7 since at least 1997. 'JT just got it going and get out of that man's way,' Brown said. 'He got it rolling, and there's nothing they could do to stop him.' Brown began the game with the black mask he has worn since breaking a bone in his face before the All-Star break. He took it off and soon absorbed an elbow to the face from James Harden (6'5''-SG-1989, college: Arizona St.), who was assessed a flagrant foul. Brown continued without the mask but finished the half with cotton in his left nostril. He also played with an edge, making both foul shots and following it with a steal and layup as Boston went on a 9-0 run to erase a 35-26 deficit. Brown also dove into the Sixers bench to save a ball, then had words with the bench after Georges Niang grabbed his leg and kept him from getting back on the court. Both players were given technical fouls. Williams followed the commotion with a layup that tied the score 35-all. 'Nothing like a shot to the face to wake you right up,' Brown said. Rivers is 6-10 in seventh games. The 10 defeats are five more than any other NBA coach and three more than the NHL's Mike Babcock and Bruce Boudreau. His teams are 6-16 in their last 22 chances to close out an opponent in a playoff series. Asked if he expected to be back next year, Rivers said: 'Yeah. I think I got two years left. No one is safe in our business and I get that.' Harden also could be gone if the Sixers opt for an overhaul. He has the opportunity to become a free agent this offseason. 'We've got an unfinished job. We haven't won anything and I think we've got the chance to win,' Embiid said. 'We've got what it takes to win. ... I still believe me and him have the chance to win. But it's going to take more than us.' Courtesy of: apnews.com |
| Phoenix Suns fire coach Monty Williams after four seasons - by Eurobasket News |
|
In the aftermath of a blowout elimination loss in the Western Conference semifinals, the Phoenix Suns fired coach Monty Williams on Saturday night, the team announced. New Suns owner Mat Ishbia made the decision to dismiss Williams immediately after Thursday night's Game 6 loss to the Denver Nuggets and had general manager James Jones called him on Saturday night and deliver the news, sources said. Williams won an NBA Coach of the Year award and reached the NBA Finals while helping to resurrect the franchise from one of the league's laughingstocks into the winningest team in the NBA over the past three seasons. The pressure on Williams increased from the moment Ishbia engineered the trade deadline deal for Kevin Durant in February, shortly after Ishbia's ownership group was approved by the league's Board of Governors. Ishbia had never warmed to Williams as his coach and decided quickly after Thursday night's season-ending loss that he would fire him, sources said. Jones has long been an advocate and ally to Williams, but was quoted in the team's news release on Saturday night saying that "it was difficult for me to make this decision." The Suns played without two starters -- guard Chris Paul and center Deandre Ayton -- in the 125-100 elimination loss. The Suns also got blown out in the last game of their season in 2022, a 123-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 of the conference semifinals. Williams took responsibility for Thursday's loss to Denver. "I take that personally, not having our team ready to play in the biggest game of the year," Williams said. "That's something that I pride myself on and it just didn't happen. ... That's something I have to take a deep look at, everything I'm doing." There is no clear front-runner to replace Williams, sources said. Williams had three years and more than $20 million left on his contract, sources told ESPN. He is expected to become a prominent candidate in coaching searches elsewhere in the league, especially the Toronto Raptors', sources said. The Suns will join a coaching marketplace that includes the Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons. The Raptors' and Bucks' searches are wide open, and Detroit has narrowed its search to three finalists -- Kevin Ollie, Milwaukee associate head coach Charles Lee and New Orleans Pelicans assistant Jarron Collins -- sources said. The Suns have two stars -- Devin Booker and Durant -- under contract but are challenged with a massive payroll that could limit their ability to add quality depth under the rules in the new collective bargaining agreement. Ishbia traded four future unprotected first-round picks and a pick swap along with Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets in February, a move that limits Phoenix's flexibility in team building. Williams was 194-115 (.628) in the regular season and 27-19 in the playoffs for Phoenix. The Suns won a franchise record 64 games in 2021-22 and reached the NBA Finals in 2021.

| Ja Morant suspended after video shows Grizzlies star with gun - by Eurobasket News |
|
The Memphis Grizzlies have suspended Ja Morant (6'3''-G-1999, college: Murray St.) from all team activities after a video showing the star guard holding a gun began circulating on social media Saturday night. The Grizzlies announced the suspension, which is pending a league review, in a statement Sunday, two months after the NBA suspended Morant over a similar incident. The team did not provide further comment. "We are aware of the social media post involving Ja Morant and are in the process of gathering more information," NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said in a statement Sunday. On Saturday, during an Instagram Live session on Morant's friend Davonte Pack's account, the All-Star flashed a handgun while riding in the passenger seat of a car and singing along with a rap song. The video has since been deleted. Morant left the Grizzlies and entered a counseling program in March after a video showed him holding a gun while intoxicated at a Denver club when the Grizzlies were in town to play the Nuggets. He was eventually suspended eight games after meeting with NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who called Morant's conduct "irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous." At the time of the suspension, Morant told ESPN in an interview that he realizes "what I have to lose" and said he would try to be "more responsible, more smarter and staying away from all the bad decisions." Morant has been involved in several off-court incidents over the past year. He is being sued by a high school prospect after a fight during a pickup game in Morant's back yard, where Morant and Pack are alleged to have punched the boy in the head. The teenager told police that Morant entered his house after the fight and came back outside with a gun in his waistband. Pack was banned from attending games at Memphis' FedExForum after a postgame confrontation with the Pacers' traveling party. Pack was escorted out of his courtside seat after stepping onto the floor during the game to confront Pacers players. After the game, following an argument between Morant's associates and members of the Pacers' traveling party in the arena's loading dock area, a red laser was pointed from an SUV in which Morant was riding. An NBA investigation "could not corroborate that any individual threatened others with a weapon." In the wake of the Grizzlies' first-round playoff elimination, Morant said he needed to be more disciplined. "I've just got to be better with my decision-making," he said after a 125-85 loss to the Lakers on April 28. "That's pretty much it. Off-the-court issues affected us as an organization pretty much. Just [need] more discipline." Courtesy of: espn.com |

| NBL Round 6 of Regular Season - by Eurobasket News | ||
|
Here is the last round review presented by Job Market. The most interesting game of round 6 in the NBL was a home defeat of 5th ranked Jets (3-4) to fourth ranked Bulls (4-3) 93-86. American forward Jamaal Brantley (198-1993, college: Cameron) scored 25 points and 8 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and forward Dominique Kelman-Poto (196-1994, college: Adelphi) chipped in 18 points and 9 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) during the contest. The best for the losing side was American guard Mustapha Heron (196-1997, college: St.John's) with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Jets' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Bulls moved-up to third place, which they share with Tuatara. Jets at the other side keep the fifth position with four games lost. They share it with Sharks. Bulls is looking forward to face Airs (#8) in New Plymouth in the next round where they are favorite.

| Clinton Chapman's triple-double lands him Hoops Agents Player of the Week award - by Eurobasket News | |||||
The 33-year old power forward recorded a triple-double of 24 points adding also seventeen rebounds and seventeen assists, while his team beat Al Arabi (#6, 5-9) 91-85. Al Sadd is placed at 2nd position in Qatari QBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Al Sadd will need more victories to improve their 11-3 record. In the team's last game Chapman had a remarkable 56.3% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Al Sadd and it was his first game, where he immediately became new team's leader. The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American guard Kelechi Ajukwa (201-G-1995) of Al Arabi. Ajukwa impressed basketball fans with a triple-double of 35 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. Bad luck as Al Arabi lost that game 85-91 to the higher-ranked Al Sadd (#2, 11-3). Al Arabi managed to keep the same 6th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-9 record. Ajukwa is one of the most experienced players at Al Arabi and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 29.2ppg (#2). His other stats are also decent: 8.3rpg and 8.3apg. The third best performed player last round was Senegalese center Ndour Mame Souleye (206-C-1987) of Al Wakrah (#8). Souleye showcased his all-around game by recording 23 points, sixteen rebounds (!!!) and sixteen assists (!!!) in the last round. Despite Souleye's great performance Al Wakrah lost 67-77 to slightly lower-ranked Al Khor (#9, 1-14). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Al Wakrah can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 4-11 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Souleye has a very solid season. In 14 games in Qatar he scored 14.4ppg. He also has 8.3rpg, 8.3apg, 1.4bpg and FGP: 58.2%. Ndour Mame Souleye has also Qatari passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player. Other top performing players last week: 4. Ndoye Seydou (205-F-1999) of Al Ahli - 21 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists 5. Mouhammad Faye (207-F/C-1985) of Al Rayyan - 19 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists 6. Stephen Ugochukwu (201-F-1996) of Al Ahli - 19 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists 7. Moustafa Elmekawi (204-F/C-1994) of Al Shamal - 9 points, 16 rebounds and 16 assists 8. Omar Salem (205-C-1983) of Al Khor - 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists 9. Sindou Diallo (194-G-2000) of Al Shamal - 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists 10. Dejan Janjic (198-SG-1995) of Qatar Club - 19 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)

| Mirotic's double-double lands him Hoops Agents Player of the Week award - by Eurobasket News | |||||
He had a double-double of 27 points and 10 rebounds, while his team crushed Obradoiro (#12, 13-19) with 17-point margin 94-77. It allowed Barca to take over top position in the Spanish league. Barca have a solid 27-5 record. In the team's last game Mirotic had a remarkable four three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He has many years of experience at Barca, through which he has constantly improved. Nikola Mirotic averages this season 13.0ppg. Second best performed player last round was Jean Montero (188-G-2003) of Real Betis. He is Dominican Rep. guard in his first season at Real Betis. In the last game Montero recorded impressive double-double of 25 points and 10 assists. Of course Real Betis cruised to a 90-79 relatively comfortable win over slightly higher-ranked Girona (#14, 11-22). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Real Betis dropped in the standings to 16th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 10-23 record. Montero is a newcomer at Real Betis and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.1ppg (#3). He also recorded 4.5 assists per game. Third place about best performers goes to swingman Rokas Giedraitis (200-G/F-1992) of league's second-best Baskonia. Giedraitis scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds. He was a key player of Baskonia, leading his team to a 86-77 win against the lower-ranked Joventut (#7, 18-14). Baskonia is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 27-5 record is not that bad... Giedraitis has a very solid season. In 30 games in Spain he scored 10.8ppg. He also has FGP: 73.1% and 3PT: 46.2%. Other top performing players last week: 4. Guerschon Yabusele (204-PF-1995) of Real Madrid - 25 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists 5.

Volodymyr Gerun (208-C-1994) of Real Betis - 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)

| BSL Round 28: Efes defeat Turk Telekom - by Eurobasket News | ||
|
Here is the last round review presented by Job Market. The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Turk Telekom (24-5) in Istanbul on Saturday night. Visitors were defeated by fourth ranked Efes (20-8) 102-87. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Turk Telekom. Efes made 24-of-27 free shots (88.9 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Croatian center Ante Zizic (209-1997) who helped to win the game recording 22 points and 5 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic (196-1994) contributed with 20 points and 4 assists (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) for the winners. Nigerian center Micheal Eric (211-1988, college: Temple) replied with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 11 rebounds for Turk Telekom. Turk Telekom's coach Erdem Can rotated eleven players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Efes moved-up to third place. Turk Telekom at the other side still keeps top position with five games lost. Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Bursa: Tofas (#7) and Bursaspor (#5). Bursaspor was defeated at home 77-92 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Worth to mention a great performance of American Milton Doyle (193-1993, college: Loyola, IL) who helped to win the game recording 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists and Brady Manek who added 14 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. Tofas' coach Dimitris Priftis allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. At the losing side Montenegrin-American point guard Derek Needham (180-1990, college: Fairfield) responded with 12 points and 7 assists. Tofas (14-15) have an impressive five-game winning streak. They moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Darussafaka. Bursaspor at the other side keeps the fifth position with 12 games lost. Another interesting game was again a derby between two local teams from Istanbul: Fenerbahce (#2) and Dacka (#6). Dacka was defeated at home 73-79 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. The winners were led by Nigel Hayes-Davis who scored that evening 16 points and 5 rebounds. Even 20 points by Dogus Ozdemiroglu did not help to save the game for Dacka. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Defending champion maintains second position with 22-5 record having 2 victories less than leader Turk Telekom. Loser Dacka keeps the sixth place with 15 games lost. They share the position with Tofas. Other games in round 28 were not that significant. Pinar Karsiyaka was beaten by Buyukcekmece on the road 85-72. Bottom-ranked Konyaspor lost to Manisa on its own court 87-91. Galatasaray outscored Merkezefendi in Istanbul 78-53. Bahcesehir managed to beat Besiktas at home 86-83. Gaziantep was defeated by Petkim on the opponent's court 80-79. The most impressive performance of 28th round was 12 points and 9 rebounds by Ercan Osmani of Darussafaka.
Buyukcekmece - Pinar Karsiyaka 85-72 There was a surprise result when tenth ranked Buyukcekmece (13-16) beat at home higher ranked Pinar Karsiyaka (20-9) 85-72 on Friday. The winners were led by American point guard Jordon Crawford (168-1990, college: BGSU, agency: Slash Sports) who scored that evening 35 points (!!!) and 5 assists and Lithuanian center Martynas Sajus (208-1996) supported him with 14 points and 8 rebounds. Even 16 points and 7 assists by Colombian swingman Braian Angola-Rodas (198-1994, college: FSU) did not help to save the game for Pinar Karsiyaka. Lithuanian forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas (205-1989) added 13 points and 7 rebounds for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Buyukcekmece moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Galatasaray and Bahcesehir. Loser Pinar Karsiyaka dropped to the fourth position with nine games lost. Top scorers: Pinar Karsiyaka: B.Angola-Rodas 16+4reb+7ast, E.McCollum 14+1reb+5ast, M.Kuzminskas 13+7reb+2ast, T.Akyazili 11+2reb, K.Sipahi 9+1ast, B.Durmaz 6+5reb+1ast Buyukcekmece: J.Crawford 35+2reb+5ast, M.Sajus 14+8reb+3ast, S.Kulvietis 12+4reb+1ast, D.Rivers 10+8reb+1ast, T.Harris 7+2reb+2ast, T.Erulku 5+3reb+1ast Bursaspor - Tofas 77-92 Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Bursa: Tofas (#7) and Bursaspor (#5). Bursaspor was defeated at home 77-92 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Tofas made 17-of-20 charity shots (85.0 percent) during the game. Tofas outrebounded Bursaspor 40-23 including a 28-17 advantage in defensive rebounds. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American Milton Doyle (193-1993, college: Loyola, IL) who helped to win the game recording 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists and the other American import power forward Brady Manek (206-1998, college: UNC) who added 14 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. Tofas' coach Dimitris Priftis allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. At the losing side Montenegrin-American point guard Derek Needham (180-1990, college: Fairfield) responded with 12 points and 7 assists and American David Dudzinski (205-1992, college: Holy Cross) scored 15 points.

Manisa outrebounded Konyaspor 37-24 including 25 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The winners were led by Bosnian-American guard John Roberson (180-1988, college: Texas Tech) who scored that evening 23 points and 7 assists and power forward Troy Sav (206-1998, agency: Octagon Europe) supported him with 18 points and 8 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Manisa's coach used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Even a double-double of 27 points and 11 assists by Nigerian-American Rasheed Sulaimon (193-1994, college: Maryland) did not help to save the game for Konyaspor. American-German center Gavin Schilling (206-1995, college: Michigan St.) added 19 points and 11 rebounds for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Manisa moved-up to twelfth place. Konyaspor lost fifth consecutive game. Konyaspor at the other side, also newcomer in the league, stay at the bottom position with 22 games lost.

The winners were led by American point guard Daron Russell (180-1998, college: Maryland) who scored that evening 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and the former international Sadik Kabaca (208-2000) supported him with 13 points and 8 rebounds. Four Galatasaray players scored in double figures. Even 18 points and 9 rebounds by Trinidad and Tobago center Johnny Hamilton (213-1994, college: UT Arlington) did not help to save the game for Merkezefendi. Canadian guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes (193-1994, college: FSU) added 7 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Galatasaray maintains eighth position with 13-16 record, which they share with Buyukcekmece and Bahcesehir. Loser Merkezefendi dropped to the thirteenth place with 18 games lost. Top scorers: Merkezefendi: J.Hamilton 18+9reb, M.Harris 13+3reb+2ast, X.Rathan-Mayes 7+9reb+4ast, N.Rogkavopoulos 7+4reb+2ast, A.Olmaz 5+7reb, A.Erol 3+1reb Galatasaray: D.Ristic 17+5reb+1ast, D.Russell 16+7reb+5ast, S.Kabaca 13+8reb+3ast, D.Ennis 12+2reb+5ast, M.Mustafa 7+6reb+1ast, S.Karagulle 3+1reb Bahcesehir - Besiktas 86-83 Not a big story in a game when 14th ranked Besiktas (9-20) was edged by ninth ranked Acibadem (13-16) in Istanbul 86-83 on Saturday. However just three-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The winners were led by swingman Muhammed Baygul (191-1992, agency: Interperformances) who scored that evening 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists and international swingman Yigit Arslan (198-1996) supported him with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Four Acibadem players scored in double figures. Even 24 points, 7 assists and 6 steals by American point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright (176-1995, college: Arizona) did not help to save the game for Besiktas. His fellow American import Allerik Freeman (190-1994, college: NC State) added 15 points and 5 rebounds for lost side. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Acibadem moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Galatasaray and Buyukcekmece. Loser Besiktas keeps the fourteenth position with 20 games lost. They share it with Gaziantep.

However just one-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The winners were led by American guard Josh Perkins (191-1995, college: Gonzaga, agency: Slash Sports) who scored that evening 18 points and 6 assists and the other American import Phil Booth (190-1995, college: Villanova) supported him with 17 points. Socar Petkim's coach Burak Goren used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Even 24 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists by American-Bulgarian point guard Codi Miller-McIntyre (191-1994, college: Wake Forest) did not help to save the game for Gaziantep. Nigerian center John Egbunu (211-1994, college: Florida) added 13 points and 8 rebounds for lost side. Five Socar Petkim and four Gaziantep players scored in double figures.

| Zizic's 22 points give him Hoops Agents Player of the Week award - by Eurobasket News | |||||
He had the game-high 22 points adding five rebounds and three assists for Anadolu Efes in his team's victory, helping them to beat Turk Telekom (#1, 24-5) 102-87. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Anadolu Efes is placed at 3rd position in Turkish league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Anadolu Efes will need more victories to improve their 20-8 record. Zizic turned to be Anadolu Efes' top player in his first season with the team. Zizic has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (5th best: 7.8rpg) and averages solid 70.2% FGP. Second best performed player last round was Rasheed Sulaimon (193-SG-1994) of Konyaspor. He is Nigerian-American guard in his first season at Konyaspor. In the last game Sulaimon recorded impressive double-double of 27 points and 11 assists. Bad luck as Konyaspor was edged by the higher-ranked Manisa (#12, 12-17) 91-87. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Konyaspor is still at the dead bottom 16th position. 22 lost games are too many comparing to just seven victories Konyaspor managed to get this year. Sulaimon is a newcomer at Konyaspor and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. Third place about best performers goes to guard Codi Miller-McIntyre (191-PG-1994) of Gaziantep (#15). Miller-McIntyre showcased his all-around game by recording 24 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the last round. Despite Miller-McIntyre's great performance Gaziantep lost 79-80 to the higher-ranked Petkim (#11, 12-16). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Gaziantep not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 20 games, recording just nine victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Miller-McIntyre could try to bring Gaziantep's a little bit higher in the standings. Miller-McIntyre has a very solid season. In 27 games in Turkey he scored 15.3ppg. He also has 4.4rpg, 5.9apg and FGP: 55.4%. Other top performing players last week: 4. Gavin Schilling (206-C-1995) of Konyaspor - 19 points and 11 rebounds 5. John Roberson (180-G-1988) of Manisa - 23 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists 6. Ercan Osmani (206-C/F-1998) of Darussafaka - 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists 7. Jordon Crawford (168-PG-1990) of Buyukcekmece - 35 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists 8. Muhammed Baygul (191-G/F-1992) of Bahcesehir - 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists 9. Vasilije Micic (196-PG-1994) of Anadolu Efes - 20 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists 10. Martynas Sajus (208-C-1996) of Buyukcekmece - 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues.

| Marreon Jackson gets MVP of the Week award for Turkish TBL (by Hoops Agents) - by Eurobasket News | ||||
The guard had a double-double of 31 points and eleven rebounds, while his team beat Mamak (#12, 11-18) 104-99. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. Fenerbahce 2 is placed at 10th position in Turkish TBL. Fenerbahce 2 is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 12-17 record. In the team's last game Jackson had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range and got five three-pointers out of 9 attempts. He turned to be Fenerbahce 2's top player in his first season with the team. Marreon Jackson averages this season 15.8ppg, 5.1rpg and 4.5apg. The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American shooting guard LaceDarius Dunn (193-SG-1987) of Final Spor. Dunn impressed basketball fans with 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course he led Final Spor to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked OGM Orman (#11, 12-17) 108-85. Final Spor's 4th position in the standings has not changed. His team's 18-11 record is not bad at all. Dunn is a newcomer at Final Spor and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.3ppg (#7). His other stats are also decent: 4.9rpg and 3.6apg. The third best performed player last round was Cameroonian Benoit Mbala (200-F-1995) of OGM Orman (#11). Mbala scored 26 points and grabbed six rebounds. Despite Mbala's great performance OGM Orman lost 85-108 to the higher-ranked Final Spor (#4, 18-11). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of OGM Orman ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 17 games, recording just twelve victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Mbala could help OGM Orman to bring them higher in the standings. Mbala has a very solid season. In 29 games in Turkey he scored 17.0ppg. He also has 6.5rpg and FGP: 53.7%. Other top performing players last week: 4. D'Shawn Schwartz (201-G/F-1999) of Fenerbahce 2 - 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists 5. Donte Clark (194-G-1994) of Haremspor - 22 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists 6. Muhammet Kalkan (203-F-2000) of Samsunspor - 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists 7. Carlton Bragg Jr. (208-PF-1995) of Mamak - 25 points and 13 rebounds 8. Gokbay Gok (2003) of Antalya - 29 points and 6 rebounds 9.

| London Lions claim maiden BBL Playoffs title - by Eurobasket News |
|
London Lions completed a domestic treble in the BBL as they claimed the playoffs title for the first time with an 88-80 triumph over Leicester Riders at The O2 Arena, on Sunday. Ryan Schmidt's side overcame the six-time playoffs winners despite being without season MVP Sam Dekker (204-F-1994, college: Wisconsin) as the Lions added to their Cup and Championship titles. Jordan Taylor top scored in the win with 15 points along with seven assists, while Olumiye Oni (198-G-1997, college: Yale) added 14 points, 10 rebounds and five assists with Aaron Best (193-SG-1992, college: TMU) also adding 15 points. The Riders edged ahead in the early proceedings with Darien Nelson-Henry's fifth points putting them up 12-11 at the midpoint. GB's Tarik Phillip (191-G-1993, college: WVU) made an immediate impact off the bench with five points in an 8-0 run before adding a second triple to make it 22-14 after 10 minutes. Leicester started the second with five quick points before London restored control with a 10-2 burst capped by another dunk from Olumiye Oni. The gap was as large as 14 with 4:38 left to play in the half, but Kimbal Mackenzie (187-G-1996, college: Bucknell) gave his side some momentum to take into the break as they trailed 44-36. Taylor hit a three to push London back in the ascendancy and the lead hit as many as 16 points during the third with London taking a 69-55 lead into the final quarter. Leicester pushed again as they did in the fourth quarter of the Cup final before Olumiye Oni hit another three to put the Lions up 11 with five minutes remaining. Then the Riders made a stronger move. 80-69 became 82-75 and then 83-78 when Mackenzie hit a triple. Marc Loving (203-F-1994, college: Ohio St.) almost added another but his effort went in-and-out and the Lions were able to clinch the game from the foul line. Courtesy of: hoopsfix.com |

| Evans' 27 points give him Player of the Week award - by Eurobasket News | |||||
He had the game-high 27 points adding five rebounds and four assists for Broncos in his team's victory, helping them to crush Toros (#10, 3-20) with 20-point margin 102-82. Broncos maintains the 3rd position in their group in Venezuelan league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Broncos will need more victories to improve their 17-7 record. In the team's last game Evans had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He just recently signed at Broncos, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Tyreke Evans averages just after three games 16.0ppg. Second best performed player last round was Pedro Bombino (206-C-2000, agency: Pro Sports) of Toros. He is Cuban center in his first season at Toros. In the last game Bombino recorded impressive 28 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Toros lost that game 82-102 to the higher-ranked Broncos (#3, 17-7). Toros managed to keep the same 10th spot in Western Conference. 20 lost games are too many comparing to just three victories Toros managed to get this year. Bombino is one of the most experienced players at Toros and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. Third place about best performers goes to forward Axiers Sucre (199-F-1978) of Gigantes (#7). Sucre scored 16 points and grabbed twelve rebounds (!!!). Despite Sucre's great performance Gigantes lost 59-71 to the higher-ranked Guaiqueries (#3, 15-9). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Gigantes not to end season at such low position in Eastern Conference, however are less than slim as they have already lost 14 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Sucre could try to bring Gigantes' a little bit higher in the standings. Sucre has a very solid season. In 22 games in Venezuela he scored 6.8ppg. Other top performing players last week: 4. Tulio Cobos (197-F-1986) of Trotamundos - 21 points and 10 rebounds 5. Jhonatan Araujo (206-F/C-1996) of Centauros - 12 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists 6. Jhonder Gomez (196-F-2002) of Taurinos - 17 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists 7. Rich Polanco (203-F-1997) of Cangrejeros - 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists 8. Raimer Santana (183-PG-1997) of Diablos - 27 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists 9. Luis Duarte (190-G/F-1994) of Broncos - 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists 10. Gaston Semiglia (186-SG-1991) of Toros - 26 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.

American guard Japreece Dean (168-1996, college: UCLA) replied with 17 points and 8 assists for Plateras. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest. The game in Jalisco supposed to be also worth to mention about. Libertadores played at the court of Astros. Astros smashed Libertadores 99-73. American players dominated the game.

It allowed Adelitas to take over top position in the Mexican league. The season is still on an early stage, but Adelitas already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Adams had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Adelitas, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Texas A&M University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Adams is league's best scorer averaging so far 23.5ppg and is league's best passer with 0.8apg. Adams is in league's top in and averages solid 75.7% FGP and 50.0% from behind 3-point line. Second best performed player last round was Amy Okonkwo (188-F-1996) of Halcones. She is American-Nigerian forward in her first season at Halcones. In the last game Okonkwo recorded impressive double-double of 26 points and 13 rebounds. Bad luck as Halcones lost that game 68-77 to Fuerza Regia (4-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Okonkwo is one of the most experienced players at Halcones and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to center Kristine Vitola (196-C-1991) of Panteras (#3). Vitola scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds. She was a key player of Panteras, leading her team to a 106-63 easy win against Freseras (#11, 0-4). Panteras started extremely well this year. They recorded 4 victories without losing a single game. Vitola turns to be one of the very best players in the league while she is also a leader of the top team having her eyes on the championship title. Vitola has a very solid season. In 4 games in Mexico she scored 16.3ppg. Other top performing players last week: 4. Ciera Johnson (190-C-1997) of Fuerza Regia - 27 points and 8 rebounds 5.

| Letaru number one in Uganda NBL for round 13 - by Eurobasket News | ||
|
Guard Diana Letaru (G) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for KIU Rangers, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13. The player was the main contributor (20 points, six rebounds and six assists) to her team's victory, helping them to outclass Kampala Uni (#8, 3-6) with 79-point margin 105-26. KIU Rangers maintains the 6th position in Ugandan NBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. KIU Rangers will need more victories to improve their 5-3 record. In the team's last game Letaru had a remarkable 88.9% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at KIU Rangers, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Diana Letaru has solid league stats. She is in league's top in assists (5th best: 3.6apg) and averages impressive 3.1spg. The second best player in last round's games was another KIU Rangers' star - Ines Kanyamunza (G). Kanyamunza had a very good evening with 26 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course together with Letaru she helped KIU Rangers with another comfortable win outscoring slightly lower-ranked Kampala Uni (#8, 3-6) 105-26. KIU Rangers' 6th position in the standings has not changed. Her team lost some distance to top teams. But 5-3 record is not bad and everything may still change. Kanyamunza is one of the most experienced players at KIU Rangers and similarly like Diana Letaru has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. Third on the list of top players last round was another KIU Rangers' star - forward Sharon Kirabo (170-F-1996). Kirabo scored 13 points and grabbed eleven rebounds (!!!). She was another key player of KIU Rangers, helping her team with a 105-26 easy win against slightly lower-ranked Kampala Uni (#8, 3-6). KIU Rangers needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 5 victories and 3 lost games. Kirabo has a very solid season. In 8 games in Uganda she scored 11.0ppg. She also has 7.9rpg and FGP: 55.9%. Other top performing players last week: 4. Elizabeth Akol (SG-1993) of Angels - 20 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists 5. Brenda Ayere (150-PG) of KIU Rangers - 12 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists 6. Perus Nyamwenge (G) of KIU Rangers - 16 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists 7. Pennitah Nabakooza) of Nkumba LM - 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists 8. Grace Kwarisiima (PF-1987) of Angels - 7 points and 10 rebounds 9. Ritah Komugisa (F-1982) of Angels - 2 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists 10. Jesca Nakamanya (C-1993) of Nkumba LM - 2 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)

| London Lions sweep again with WBBL Playoffs title - by Eurobasket News |
|
London Lions completed their second successive clean sweep in the WBBL after beating Leicester Riders 57-41 at The O2 Arena, in London. It was far from a classic, but it was a fourth piece of silverware of the season - and 10th overall - for the Lions as they rounded out another perfect season, on Sunday afternoon. Katsiaryna Snytsina (188-F-1985) top scored with 11 points in the win with Ty Battle (183-F-1999, college: Delaware, agency: LBM Management) collecting 15 rebounds to go with eight points as the Finals MVP, while Holly Winterburn (178-G-2000, college: UC Davis) also added 11 points along with four rebounds and five assists. The Lions looked to retiring veteran Azania Stewart in their opening possessions and it was the GB legend that was first to get the scoreboard moving before Kirsty Brown responded with a three-point play. Fiona O'Dwyer (182-F-1991, college: Emmanuel, MA) connected from downtown to push the Riders into an early advantage with the Lions offence only putting up four points through the opening six minutes. However, that soon changed as they put together a 13-0 run that was capped by a Leslie Vorpahl (168-PG-1995, college: Tulane) three after back-to-back scores from Battle and Taylor Murray (168-G-1997, college: Kentucky). McKenzie Johnston (170-G-1996, college: Montana) stopped the rot for Leicester after seven straight misses and they found themselves 19-10 behind after 10 minutes with a 4-of-17 shooting start. Winterburn opened her account after an 0-of-6 start before Oliana Squires (173-G-1998, college: Montana St.) scored her first points from downtown with Hannah Robb (168-SG-1998) capping a 7-0 run to cut the gap to just a single point at 21-20. The Scottish guard had to check out shortly after picked up an apparent ankle injury shortly and the Lions responded with a 10-0 spell that helped establish a 31-23 lead to take into the half-time break. Points were still hard to come by in the second half with both sides continuing to struggle to find their rhythm. The Riders had to wait until the four-minute mark to register their first points since the interval, but London had not been able to capitalise and pull completely out of sight with their lead as large as 12. O'Dwyer's triple cut the gap back to single figures, only for Snytsina to answer in kind and Vorpahl's late basket putting London up 42-28 ahead of the final 10 minutes. The Lions pushed on to move 20 points ahead on a three from Taylor Murray and the celebrations were already on ice with Stewart leaving the game late on to receive a standing ovation.
