London Lightning News Release
(WINDSOR, Ontario) - Tuesday night at the WFCU Centre, the London Lightning lost to the Windsor Express 107-99 in Game 3 of their second round playoff series.
London now trails 2-1 in the series.
Garrett Williamson led the charge with a double-double, finishing with
21 points and 11 rebounds. Akeem Scott also had a double-double adding
11 points and 12 assists. Akeem Wright led the team in scoring with 22 points while Stephen Maxwell had 14.
London fell behind coming out of halftime and despite making it a four point game with about two minutes remaining, couldn't retain the lead that was within their grasp.
"I thought that we fought, I felt like we had a good fight, but in general, we didn't play very well," said coach Kyle Julius. "I think if we shoot better from three point range, I think if we make a few more threes the other way, a few more plays the other way, good things happen."
Game 4 will be played Thursday, May 19 at the WFCU Centre in Windsor. A fan bus will be leaving London on Thursday at 5 p.m. The bus can be boarded in the parking lot behind Milestones on Wonderland Rd. S.
Tickets are $35.
