The London Lions had a rough time before rallying late to defeat Promitheas Patras on the road 67-77 on Tuesday night. Even though London started strong and led by 10 in the first quarter, Promitheas was predictably unpredictable and rallied to create some drama.
Promitheas was playing without the EuroCup’s top scorer, Joe Young, due to injury and debuting new head coach Ioannis Christopoulos, who took over after Makis Giatras stepped down due to health reasons. London knew that things would be different with Promitheas due to the coaching change and Young’s absence.
