JSF Nanterre 48-62 England Select
Sterling Muschett's England U15's opened the Lions Cup with victory over Nanterre in Paris.
Daniel Banjoko led the way with a game-high 18 points, while Jamaal McAllister (11 pts) and Kelvin Aigbogun (10 pts) also posted double figures.
England led all but once in the first-half as Banjoko scored 14 of his 18 points, as Nanterre struggled to contain the London Lions starlet.
Nanterre fought back after a low scoring half but England kept the scoreboard ticking to coast to a first win of the weekend.
England were made to come from behind to make it two wins from their two games on day one.
Banjoko helped spark the revival with another game-high (21pts) with support from Kimbe N'Gabala (14pts) and Andrew Nwokolo (12 pts).
A slow start meant England were trailing 43-29 at the break but 15 unanswered points helped turn the tide as they earned a hard-fought victory to end the opening day in Paris.
England began day two in defeat as they fell to Georgian side Zaza.
Tristan Curran (22 pts), McAllister (16 pts) and Banjoko (13 pts) top-scored for Coach Sterling's side but it wasn't enough as they ended the group stages with their first loss of the tournament.
It leaves all teams in Group B with one defeat each, with two wins from three meaning England's destiny is still in their own hands.
England missed out on a place in the Lions Cup Finals with defeat to Tel Aviv.
Once again Curran (19 pts) and Banjoko (15 pts) reached double figures along with Aigbogun (15 pts) and largely kept the score within two points from half-time until deep into the fourth quarter.
