Anthony Lamb scored a game-high 23 points to lead Dolomiti Energia Trento to a 79 – 73 comeback win over Hapoel Tel Aviv in the game that completed Round 5 of the EuroCup regular season.
Lamb also had a big sequence in crunch time. He hit a tough jumper to put Trento up 75 – 73 with 32 seconds remaining, blocked Ish Wainwright’s 3-point attempt and then drained the free throws that all but iced the win for the Italian side.
On the other end, Patrick Beverley missed the 3-pointer and Hapoel Tel Aviv suffered its first loss after three straight wins.
Jordan Ford added 17 points for Trento that trailed 59 – 68 with 6:40 to play before coming back with a 9 – 0 run.
Marcus Foster led Hapoel with 18 points and Johnathan Motley had 16 points and six rebounds. Beverley finished with seven points on 2-9 from the field, along with seven assists and four rebounds.
Valencia remains the only undefeated team in the competition after beating Turk Telekom 101 – 87 on the road. Semi Ojeleye led the way for the Taronja with 22 points on 5-8 triples.
