Game Recap

Cheshire Phoenix edged the London Lions 95–92 in SLB action, surviving a late Lions push to secure a three-point road win. The game featured efficient scoring from Cheshire and timely perimeter shooting from London, with both teams trading runs and keeping the margin tight into the final minutes. Cheshire’s offense was led by P. Robinson, who poured in a game-high 28 points, consistently creating advantages and converting in key moments. F. A. Policelli added 18 points to provide a steady secondary scoring option, helping Cheshire maintain control whenever London threatened to swing momentum. London was balanced behind Phillip Tarik (18 points), Brown Jr. Chaundee (17), and J. Scott (15), with the Lions leaning heavily on the three-point line (11 made threes) to stay within striking distance. However, Cheshire’s overall shooting efficiency (23-of-39 from the field, 59.0%) and edge on the glass (42 rebounds to 37) proved decisive in a game where possessions mattered. The result gives Cheshire a statement win and reinforces the value of their shot quality and rebounding in close finishes. For London, the narrow loss underscores how small execution details—particularly defensive stops and finishing possessions with rebounds—can decide tight SLB games, even when the perimeter offense is productive.
