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 had a taste of what the European Cup holds for them this season when Peristeri, who finished only seventh in the Greek league last season, beat the Budweiser League champions 71-69 at Wembley Arena to win the pre-season Sainsburys Classic.
London took the Greeks to the wire and when Paolo Moretti missed three seconds from time, the Towers lost their chance to save the game when Alan Cunningham's pass missed Tony Windless breaking clear to the left of the Greek basket.
London have had to rebuild half their team during the summer since losing three key players to Continental clubs as well as Karl Brown to a serious injury.
New players Joe Hooks and Jan Budin, in particular, showed London have the talent and commitment to make up the shortfall. But with the domestic and European campaigns beginning within the next 10 days they may not have enough time.
The final began 50 minutes late after the Greeks bent the basket support during the pre-game routine
Leading scorers: London Towers Lewis 25, Hooks 17. Peristeri: Koronios 14 Makaras 14, Cheatum 14.
