London Lions became the first British basketball team – male or female - in history to win a major European trophy as they overturned a first-leg deficit to defeat Besiktas in the EuroCup final on Wednesday night.
The British outfit had begun the second leg 75-68 behind and were still trailing in the dying moments of the game before a three-pointer from Holly Winterburn and two free throws from Megan Gustafson sealed an 81-70 victory on the night and an aggregate win of 149-145.
