The game went on to end with Flyers 87 – 82 Lions, after overtime.
About the teams.
The Bristol Flyers was formed in 2006 by a merger of two former Bristol based teams, the Filton Flyers and the Bristol Academy, to become known as Bristol Academy Flyers. They started in the English Basketball League, in Division 2, and one year later, they moved up to Division 1.
By 2013, they got financial backing from the owner of Bristol City football club. As part of the deal, they moved into the top level franchise based BBL, for the 2014-15 season, that was when they became known simply as Bristol Flyers. Their highest finish in BBL was 4th place during the 2021-22 season.
London Lions actually started out as Hemel Hempstead Laker in 1977, and changed their name to Hemel Royals before moving to Watford, and finally moved to Milton Keynes.
They became known as Milton Keynes Lions, and that was when their performance improved, including winning the BBL Cup during the 2007-08 season.
By 2012, due to losing their home arena in Milton Keynes, they were relocated to London, thus renamed as the London Lions.
