London Lightning Secure Their First Victory of the Season Against KW Titans
In the second encounter between the two teams of the Basketball Super League, this time at Lightning's home, where they had suffered a defeat in their first home game and were looking to set things right by achieving their first victory of the season and at home in the current tournament. Meanwhile, the Titans aimed to climb in the standings and repeat their victory, this time on the road.
With a record of 0-2, the home team aggressively sought to dominate on their turf and maintain the tradition of victories in that venue, which was reflected by a narrow margin in the first two quarters. It wasn't until the last seconds of the second quarter, with a steal followed by a 3-point shot from Demetrius Barnes, that the game was tied at halftime.
Approaching the second half with a different mindset, the Lightning was eager to rain down points on the Titans' defense, which proved helpless against the momentum maintained by the Lightning. This dominance set the tone for the rest of the game, as they won the third quarter 37-18, entering the final quarter with a 19-point lead that practically handed them the victory.
A procedural third quarter secured the locals their first victory of the season, also at home, allowing them to change the course of their season and tying the overall record with the KW Titans.
