Leopards won a marathon BBL Championship game with Brighton Bears, defeating Mark Dunning's valiant visitors 110-99 after double overtime at Brentwood on Sunday. 

The result came despite injury-hit Leopards - without Rod Brown and Kojo Mensah-Bonsu because of knee injuries - being down to four men for the last three minutes of the game, after Gareth Davies fouled out. 

The game was close throughout regulation time, the rivals tied at 22-22 at the close of the first quarter and rarely separated by more than four points thereafter.

Kevin Wallace and Rashod Johnson each netted two free throws in the final minute to tie the game at 80-80 and Jason Kimbrough then missed a three on the buzzer, resulting in overtime.

Kimbrough made amends with two free throws 0.53 seconds from the end of the first overtime period, which tied the game at 88-88. 

In the second period of overtime, Leopards' four men went on a 6-0 run to lead 100-93, an advantage they never relinquished. 

Rashod Johnson led all scorers with 31 points; Wilbur Johnson added 30 for the Bears.
