Schlitzer leads Scorchers in loss
SURREY, England — Pottsville and Philadelphia University graduate Nick Schlitzer had a team-high 13 points but the Surrey Scorchers were blown out by the London Lions 95-61 in a British Basketball League game Saturday at Surrey Sports Park.
Schlitzer finished the game 5-of-16 from the field, including a 1-for-6 performance from 3-point land. Schlitzer added five rebounds and two assists.
Schlitzer’s only 3 of the game came with 6:29 left in the first quarter. It gave Surrey (3-5) a 9-8 advantage, its last lead of the game. London (6-4) built a 45-31 halftime lead.
The Scorchers look to snap a three-game losing streak Saturday, Dec. 4, when they host the Bristol Flyers.
