London Lions produced a controlled 90-72 road win over Newcastle Eagles in SLB action, using superior depth, ball movement and rebounding to pull away. The final margin reflected London’s consistency across the contest, as the Lions generated higher-quality looks and maintained pressure on both ends to secure an 18-point victory.

Newcastle had a strong individual performance from M. Clarke, who led all scorers with 20 points, while Gus Okafor added 13 points. However, the Eagles struggled to match London’s efficiency and activity over the full game. Newcastle hit eight three-pointers and had stretches of solid shot-making, but the hosts were unable to overcome the Lions’ advantage on the glass and in playmaking.

Kameron McGusty paced London with 18 points, with Chaundee Brown Jr. contributing 16 points and J. Scott adding 13. The Lions’ balance was a major factor, as they recorded 23 assists and controlled the rebounding battle 50-25. London also shot efficiently inside the arc, finishing 26-for-48 on field goals, while their defensive pressure helped limit Newcastle’s ability to build sustained momentum.

The result strengthens London’s position as one of the league’s most complete sides, particularly given their ability to win decisively through rebounding and shared scoring. For Newcastle, the performance highlighted the need for more consistent defensive resistance and greater production beyond their lead scorers as they look to respond in upcoming SLB fixtures.
