The action in 7DAYS EuroCup Round 10 started with two bangs. While Paris Basketball and Germani Brescia defended their home court, it was not expected of them to do it with ease against opponents like Turk Telekom Ankara and Joventut Badalona respectively.
However, Paris beat the Turkish side for a second time this season, getting a 96-77 triumph, having seven scorers in double digits and Kyle Allman being the first among equals with 17 points. The end result is even more impressive considering the early 28-17 lead for Turk Telekom, which was trailing by nine at halftime (53-44), and after that Paris never looked back.
Tyrique Jones scored also 17 points for Turk Telekom, however, neither he nor his teammates could do much after the first period with Paris scoring 79 points in 30 minutes of action.
The two teams are tied at 7-3 in the second spot of Group B with Gran Canaria (7-2) having the chance to stay alone at the top.
For Brescia, the key was Amedeo Della Valle with 26 points, as the Italians never lost the lead on the way to an 85-75 win. Joventut trailed even by one point (55-54), however, they couldn’t get in control despite 22 points by Ante Tomic and 19 by Joel Parra.
The winners got into a 5-5 record and remain 7th in the standings of Group A, while Joventut is second at the moment with just one more win (6-4).
