London Lightning News Release
(ORANGEVILLE, Ontario) - Friday night at the Athlete Institute, the London Lightning got by the Orangeville A's 122-113.
London's record is now 25-14.
Garrett Williamson had a breakout game offensively, scoring 21 points.
Stephen Maxwell made his presence felt under the rim, collecting 15 rebounds and adding 20 points for the double-double.
The Lightning found themselves down by 13 points midway through the third quarter, but strong defence and aggressive offensive drives to the basket resulted in a rally in the final 18 minutes of the game leading to the win.
"I thought we had a rough first half, a rough start to the third, but our whole identity is built on energy, enthusiasm, toughness, and at that point, we want them to pay attention to the details. Today, they played with that," said coach Kyle Julius of the team's rally in the second half.
London's final game of the season is Saturday, April 30 against the Windsor Express. Fans are encouraged to attend "Shock the Street" on Dundas St. between Ridout St. and Talbot St. before the game for street basketball, lessons from the London Lightning Dance Pack, and sales on London Lightning merchandise. Tickets for the game are available at the Budweiser Gardens box office or online.
