London Towers
kept up their push for a top five finish in the Northern European Basketball
League with a 81-83 win at Honka Playboys in Finland.
Towers - ahead 37-44
at half-time - led for much of the contest but despite a strong first quarter
they could never shake off their hosts. A Randy Duck three gave Towers
a 78-74 lead and they stretched that out to seven with a minute remaining.
Anthony Allison gave
Honka hope with a three before Steve Bucknall made the game safe with two
free throws 28s from time. Allison bagged another three on the buzzer to
trim Towers margin of victory.
Randy Duck led all
scorers with 24 points, whilst the home side also had
trouble closing
down Kendrick Warren and Steve Bucknall.
