Devante Jones leads London Lions past Newcastle Eagles with 16
Devante Jones ran the show for London Lions on home court, finishing with 16 points, 4 assists and 2 steals across 25 minutes as they edged Newcastle Eagles 84–76 in Super League Basketball. The point guard's efficiency was the difference. He shot 7-for-13 from the field and 2-for-6 from three, orchestrating London's attack without needing to force the issue — three turnovers in a measured display. With the game tight throughout, his ball-handling and court vision kept the Lions' offence moving when Newcastle's defence pressed. London's eight-point margin of victory was built on control rather than explosion. Jones's steadying hand in the backcourt, coupled with his two steals, gave them the edge in a contest that never got out of reach but always felt managed. Next up for the Lions is the road trip ahead.
