The second half played out in similar fashion as the two teams were even in the third quarter with 20 points each, but the Lakers padded their lead in the fourth and finished with the big win.
Four players scored in double digits for the Lions.
Tyler Pryce and
Prince Kamunga each netted 13 points, while
DeAndrae Pierre and
Yacine Loe chipped in with 10 each. Kamunga also finished with five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
The Lions are now 2-13 on the season and remain at the bottom of the Central Division standings, while the Lakers improved to 4-11 but remain fifth in the OUA East.
