EuroCup. "Gran Canaria" - "Azovmash" 74:82
(22:26, 13:23, 16:12, 23:21)The game in Spain had a principal meaning for both teams. Victory almost ensured advance to the play-off stage. The teams showed the resulting basketball during the first quarter. Our basketball players were slightly luckier. Already in the second quarter Rimas Girskis' team increased its advantage up to 14 points, having made quite a good chance of winning. The hosts of the court started a chase after the Mariupol Club after the big brake. The Spanish team shortened the score lag to minimum 71:73 in the middle of the fourth quarter, but the «Azov Lions» kept their head and, having made a burst 9:3, won the game. This victory allowed «Azovmash» to count not only on advance from the group, and also to finish the group stage on the first place. It is just needed for the defending Champion of Ukraine to win on its court over BC "Asvel" in the last round of the competition. «Gran Canaria»: Sanders – 16, Kickert – 12, English – 11, Norris – 9, Savane – 8. «Azovmash»: El-Amin – 19, Lishchuk – 14, Skutyelnik, Serapinas, Nsomwu and Thompson – 10.
