Final recap

London Lions edge Cheshire Phoenix 86–83 in a nail-biter behind Landrius Horton's 17

London Lions held off a second-half charge from Cheshire Phoenix to maintain their unbeaten Super League record, winning 86–83 in a game that remained within a possession for its final two minutes. The Lions dominated the opening half, building a 10-point lead by the interval (45–35) after ripping off a 10-0 run midway through the second quarter. They stretched that advantage to 12 early in the third, before Phoenix clawed back — outscoring London by six in that quarter to trail by just four heading into the fourth. The hosts then won the final period by a single point, but it wasn't enough to complete the comeback. Landrius Horton led London's attack with 17 points on efficient shooting (6/8 FG, 4/5 from three), while Tarik Phillip orchestrated play with 14 points and seven assists. Thomas Kennedy added 13 points and three steals. For Phoenix, Nazir Williams managed 21 points and five assists despite shooting 7/15, and Skyler White chipped in 20 points on a hot night from distance (6/10 three-point). The result ends a two-game winning run for Phoenix and extends London's perfect start to the season — they are now 6–0. Phoenix, sitting 2–3, travel to Surrey on Sunday; London host Bristol on Saturday.
