Basketball: London live dangerously
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.London Towers ended a run of three Budweiser League defeats at Wembley last night, but lived dangerously before beating Leicester City Riders 80-73 to open a two-point lead at the top of the table. Defeats against Newcastle Eagles, twice, and Sheffield Sharks had let Birmingham Bullets and Greater London Leopards catch Towers.
In last night's fourth quarter, National Cup finalists Leicester held Towers to just three points as they recovered from 11 points down to trail 72-71 with 65 seconds to play. London responded with six points and were steadied by two free throws from Paul Deppisch.
Thames Valley Tigers consolidated their position for the play-off quarter- finals by overrunning Crystal Palace 122-79 at Bracknell last night.
Manchester Giants are expected to beat tomorrow's transfer deadline by signing, the American Steve McGlothin.
