It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but London had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They took their match with ease, bagging a 92-54 win over the Orange Grove Bulldogs. The Pirates have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 games by 21 points or more this season.

Ac Carpentier was his usual excellent self, going 9-for-13 on his way to 31 points and four steals. The contest was his fourth in a row with at least 17 points. Christian Olivares was another key player, going 5-for-9 en route to 17 points and five assists.

London is on a roll lately: they've won 18 of their last 19 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 30-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.7 points over those games. Orange Grove has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-18 record this season.

London has already played their next contest (against Raymondville), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Orange Grove does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
