The London Lions will go against Paris in the Eurocup match on December 22. The London Lions capitalized on a strong third quarter to advance to the BBL Cup semi-finals with a 74-65 win over Cheshire Phoenix at CopperBox Arena on Friday night. After a promising second half, Cheshire put high hopes on the third and even closed the gap to just two points until the Lions ramped up.
The score of 14-0 in the middle of the half was the key for London to open the door to the last 4 teams in the BBL Cup. Luke Nelson and Vojtech Hruban lead the Lions with 12 points each, who previously scored 80% from the field. Kosta Koufos added 10. Tomislav Zubcic, who has nine points, 3/5 from the field, said: “We have an obligation to fulfill. We must go all the way; We have to win these titles because we are a team that wants to win.

“It was a tight game. We knew what we had to do. Unfortunately, we didn’t play the way we wanted, but to win is to win. Marcus Evans leads all scorers with 14 points for Phoenix. After scoring the first five points of the game, London recovered by hitting five three-pointers in the first six minutes of the game, with Nelson hitting two. Thanks to the Lions’ precision, they took a 19-9 lead and looked comfortable, but the double-digit lead was erased by former Lions striker Will Neighbor as Cheshire looked to reduce the deficit.
