Paris Basketball-London Lions | Round 13 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
Simpson scored 9 points in the game’s first 6 minutes before Nemanja Dangubic gave the hosts their first lead, 15-14. Hruban had back-to-back threes in a 0-11 London run that put the visitors ahead by double figures. Anthony Cowan free throws drew Promitheas within 18-25 after 10 minutes.
Kulboka buried back-to-back threes to open the second quarter before London recovered through Luke Nelson. However, Promitheas kept the margin close and Mo Soluade’s layup on the halftime buzzer made it 36-40 at the break.
Nikos Gkikas had 5 quick points early in the second half before Simpson’s triple evened things and a three by Kulboka gave Promitheas a 46-43 lead. The lead reached 5 before London came back, but a put-back by Kulboka gave Promitheas a 55-54 edge heading into the third quarter.
The lead changed hands with each of the first four baskets of the fourth quarter. With the score tied at 64-64, Promitheas center George Conditt fouled out and Coach Christopoulos was ejected with his second technical foul of the game. Free throws by Best and Ovie Soko saw London push ahead for good and Dekker capped a 0-9 run that made it 64-71 with less than 3 minutes remaining.
