Lightning Hold On To Down Express 111-108

The London Lightning beat the Windsor Express 111-108 on Thursday to tie the NBLC Central Division finals 2-2.

But it was a close one. The Lightning had at 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, but the Express charged back. Windsor almost tied the game, but fell just short.

Ryan Anderson scored a game high off 34 points for London.

Kirk Williams Jr. put up 24 points and six rebounds for Windsor.

“We played our style of basketball probably for the first time in the series, more up tempo, the ball was moving better,” Lightning coach Kyle Julius said after the game.  “We let our foot off the gas pedal for a couple minutes, they got back in the game, but we made some real big plays down the stretch. It was a real good team win.”

The two teams head to Budweiser Gardens for Game 5 on Saturday at 7pm.
