Pink Fire Pointer London Lions Crowned 2013 London Summer League Champions

London Lions Crowned 2013 London Summer League Champions


London Lions won the inaugural London Summer League beating Medway Park Crusaders 42-36 in the Final. Levi Noel was awarded the MVP, scoring 11 points, and it was his opening three pointer that set the Lions on a 12-1 opening run from which the Crusaders never recovered.

The lead remained in double digits until Lukas Volskis found his shooting range late in the game. He piled in 8 points in 3 minutes including back-to-back threes that pulled the Crusaders within 6, but that was as close as the Kent team came. Brandon McGill saw out the game for the Lions from the line on his way to 10 points and London's pro club were the champions.

Earlier London Lituanica finished 3rd beating London Capitals 39-37 in the closest game of the night. Ibrahim Gariba had the chance to tie the game in the final seconds but missed both his free throws.

Hemel Storm won the Plate Final easily beating Westminster Warriors 41-26. The 7/8 place game between LSBU Brixon Topcats and London Westside was cancelled after both teams were stuck in traffic congestion.
