London Lions used a club-record 35-point fourth quarter to reach 100 points and outgun host Hamburg.
London dominated fourth quarter to down host Hamburg

In a highly-entertaining showdown on Tuesday night, Veolia Hamburg Towers was ahead 70-65 against the London Lions heading into the fourth quarter. It was a see-saw affair in the first three quarters, with the two sides exchanging punches and leads. But London's players left their hearts and all their energy on the court in the last quarter, when they scored as many as 35 points to secure a hard-fought 94-100 victory.
"It was just a team effort. Our defense really fueled our offense," game MVP Matt Morgan said after the game. "The culture we want to build as a team is 'next man up'. Everyone had energy, credit to our coach and staff for getting us right throughout the week. We just wanted to win and we all played for each other, so this is what got us through.”
Five London players registered double digits in scoring, as Matt Morgan scored a team-high 21 points, Tarik Phillip and Gabe Olaseni added 18 each, Conor Morgan had 17 and Donte Grantham, who shined in London’s win in its BKT EuroCup season opener against Umana Reyer Venice, registered 10.

Most importantly, the guests turned the game around without head coach Petar Bozic on the bench due to illness. His assistant, Robert Youngblood, who was in charge of the team, also focused on the mentality that the coaching staff is trying to instil into the team and sent Bozic a message after the Lions' second win this season.
"It was a big game for the team," Youngblood noted. "We are trying to build a culture here in London. We want everybody to play the right way. Coach [Bozic], we got you."
After celebrating a well-earned road win in Germany, London’s fourth quarter is definitely something that Bozic and his staff will look to build on in their bid to inspire the team into playoff qualification for the second campaign in a row.
