The London Lions were coming off an 81-83 home loss against Veolia Hamburg Towers on a game-winning shot by Mark Hughes with 1.3 seconds left. This time, London led most of the way and built a double-digit margin against Prometey Slobozhanske. The visitors regrouped in the fourth quarter and a rain of three-pointers, added to Ondrej Balvin's monster game (14 points, 16 rebounds, 3 blocks), put Prometey in good position to win the game.
When Rob Gray split free throws, Prometey led 83-88 with 25.5 seconds left. In need for quick points, Tarik Phillip attacked the rim, drew a foul from Balvin and scored to get a three-point play opportunity. He made the additional free throw for an 86-88 score with 19.3 seconds left.
Prometey put the ball in Caleb Agada's hands but he was immediately double-teamed. Jordan Taylor got an acrobatic steal and found Luke Nelson, who missed an uncontested shot around the basket. Sam Dekker missed the tip-in and a long rebound went straight to Phillip's hands, who found Dekker wide open beyond the three-point line. Dekker downed the three-point shot for a 89-88 lead with 6.7 seconds remaining.
London needed not one, but two defensive stops to win the game. First, Philipp blocked Agada's shot and then Taylor contested March's last shot, which hit the back of the rim.
"I am extremely proud. This is a huge win for us, especially in a situation in which he caught up at the end of the game, something that wasn't easy," London coach Petar Bozic said after the game.
Asked about his final timeout, called with a 77-84 score with less than 3 minutes left, Bozic said his team had to take one play at a time: "Step by step on the defensive end, which we were successful in a few good possessions and then after that, run in transition. Again, aggressiveness in that very important possession in which we had a steal."
Gabe Olaseni led the winners with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Sam Dekker and Conor Morgen each added 16 points as London grabbed its sixth win in seven games to go up to 9-3 in the standings. Up next, a road game against top-ranked Paris Basketball. Both teams were EuroCup newcomers last season and are now facing each other for the fourth time in the upper part of the standings.
