Lions' guard Justin Robinson is looking for his team to continue their good run when they face Plymouth Raiders in the BBL Championship play-off semi-finals this week.

Robinson and the Lions travel to Leicester's Morningside Arena to face Raiders on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with both games tipping off at 7.30pm and being shown live of Sky Sports YouTube.

"We're on a really good run at the moment, with 13 or 14 wins on the bounce" he said.

"Winning becomes a habit, and we're on a roll. It took times for the team to gel but we now all understand our role in the team and we believe we can be successful."

The Lions produced a stunning performance to beat Cheshire Phoenix 95-60 in the second leg of the play-offs quarter-final, and Robinson was delighted with how his team played: "We clicked perfectly, I think we had about 30 assists in that game and no one cared who scored as long as the shots dropped."

Robinson knows what to expect from a Plymouth team who finished one place behind the Lions in third spot: "We've played them a bunch of times, in the league, the Cup and of course the Trophy final. They're a tough team with an experienced coach and although we've had some success against them, the games have all been close.

"Play-off basketball is a different story to the regular season, teams are more prepared and we're playing them twice in two days."

London have won four of the five meetings between the sides this season, but Robinson is focused on getting the results they need to reach Sunday's final: "It's a bit weird that both games are on a neutral venue, but we're not looking for excuses. It's the same for both teams, and we're not playing Leicester so there's no issues, we'll adapt and look to win both games.

"We've won the Trophy and had the disappointment of the Cup final, but I'd love to win the play-offs with this team and there's no reason why we shouldn't. We need to just make sure we play well for the next week."
