SLB Championship: Surrey 89ers bury 14 threes to beat Bristol Flyers 93–80

Surrey 89ers backed up a dominant first three quarters with a blistering night from deep, knocking down 14 three-pointers to secure a 93–80 home win over Bristol Flyers in the SLB Men’s Championship.

The hosts set the tone early, holding Bristol to 17 points in the opening period before stretching the gap with a 27–19 third quarter that effectively put the game out of reach. Bristol had their best spell late — winning the fourth 26–18 — but Surrey’s earlier control, particularly from the perimeter, left the Flyers needing too much too late.

Surrey’s shooting profile told the story: 33-of-66 from the field (50%) and 14-of-26 from three (53%), compared to Bristol’s 28-of-69 (40%) overall and 8-of-25 (32%) from beyond the arc. The 89ers also won the rebounding battle 43–38 and finished with 23 assists on 33 made field goals.

Kino Lily Jr led Surrey with 22 points, drilling 7-of-9 from three as part of a 7-of-12 shooting night. Nedas Cholevinskas added 17 points with an efficient line (4-of-7 FG, 3-of-6 3PT, 6-of-6 FT), while Isiah Small posted a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds, and also recorded 5 assists. Ronald Polite III chipped in 11 points, and Michael Graham produced 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting.

For Bristol, William Yoakum topped the scoring with 17 points, adding five rebounds, three steals and two blocks in an active two-way performance.
