Ali Fraser hit 24 points as Scotland pulled off an 83-59 rout of England on Saturday night in a friendly at Meadowbank.

Iain Maclean’s side surged into an early 13-0 lead and were barely troubled by their visitors as they built a 50-24 advantage by half-time.

And although London Lions guard Orlan Jackman scored 12 of his game-high 27 points in the third period, the Scots moved as much as 31 clear early in the fourth.

“It was a really pleasing performance,” said Maclean. “It helped we got off to a good start. Ali was great out there. He gives people problems because he doesn’t do anything flashy, he gets rebounds and he helps the guys around him.”

The sides meet again on Sunday with the English looking for better.

“We knew we wouldn’t come together straight away but we didn’t expect that,” said Barry Lamble. “But we’re glad to have a second shot.” Jonny Bunyan added 20.

Earlier, Scotland Futures Women lost 68-64 to Austria with the visitors pulling out a 16-0 run in the fourth quarter to snatch victory, despite a game-high 22 points from Sarah Thomson.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
