Leopards shine brighter than brave Stars
adidas London Leopards demonstrated the gulf in class between the BBL and NBL in the first round of the Sainsbury's Classic Cola Cup by beating Solent Stars 88-110 in Southampton.
Kenya Capers hit a season-high 42 points to steady the Londoners nerves after they trailed for the opening few minutes of the game.
Leopards hit ten unanswered points and led 34-49 at the half. In the second half, the closest Solent got was at 61-72, despite some good shooting from veteran duo Colin Irish (34) and player/coach Alan Cunningham (20).
