Kieron Achara Hits Game Winning 3 with Four Seconds Remaining to Sink Lions!

By Sam Neter on January 17, 2015

Kieron Achara came up with three point heroics for the second time this season after sinking a triple with four seconds remaining to give Glasgow a three point win over London Lions on Friday night.

With the shot clock about to run out, Achara came off a pick and pop and knocked down the three from the top of the key as the shot clock buzzer sounded to give Glasgow an 89-96 victory. It follows on from his game winning buzzer beater in the BBL Cup against Leicester in November.

On the ensuing possession after Rocks were called for a foul, Vince Macaulay lost his temper, having to be restrained by Laurent Irish. The Lions then came up short on a three point attempt at the buzzer to give Rocks the win.

Macaulay and Lions Captain Drew Sullivan ripped into the officiating after the loss.

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.
