After yesterday’s games, Round 15 of the BKT EuroCup continued this Wednesday with a very intriguing Besiktas–Budcnost Voli Podgorica matchup, which ended in a clear home win.
The Turkish side defeated the Montenegrin team 96–74, leaving them with a 9–6 record, while improving to 11–4 themselves to move back to the top of their group in the competition.
Despite a strong performance from Yogi Ferrell, who scored 18 points, the visitors never really had a chance and were unable to cope with the home team’s dominance.
Things were much tighter in the clash between Lietkabelis Panevezys (3-12) Dolomiti Energia Trento (9-6) game, which ended in a road 93-94 win mainly thanks to two players.
Devante Jones delivered the game of his life with 24 points and 10 rebounds for a performance index rating of 43, but DJ Steward (22 points) was the visiting hero, as he hit the three-pointer that sealed the win for the Italian side.
