United maintained their lead only until the 6th minute of the quarter as Shaw and Clarkes inside scores gave Wolves a point lead at 38-39.
United rallied again as Deppisch nailed another two 3's along with Ataha and they took a lead of 54-47 into the half time break.
The second started with Deppisch scoring another 3 as Klocek and Van Elswyk finished off some good team basketball giving United a 16 point lead in the 7th minute however once again Wolves would not lie down and went on a 7 point run to bring them back into touching distance however it was Deppisch again scoring from long distance who gave United the advantage at the end of the 3rd at 79-65.
A spirited run at the start of the 4th saw Wolves come back to 2 at 86-84 as Harper and Collins nailed 4 successive 3's giving Deppisch a reason to nail his 10th 3 pointer of the game to push United ahead at 89-84 with 4 minutes remaining.
London managed to trade baskets for the remainder of the game as they pulled out a 9 point victory at 106-97.
