London Leopards
leapfrogged Milton Keynes Lions into second place in the Southern
Conference with
an 89-75 victory at Brentwood to bounce back from Sunday's Cup Final loss.
A 16-6 start to the
second half by the Leopards blew open the game with a fifteen point lead
and a 7-1 tear late
in the fourth sealed the victory for the home side.
Lions player/coach
Nigel Lloyd became the second player in British basketball to net 700 three-pointers
in final style, with a three from the corner of the halfway line and sideline
on the half-time buzzer and he led all scorers with 27 points.
All Star bound Rashod
Johnson top scored for Leopards with 22.
