This folks, is the definition of vengeance.
Lietuvos Rytas had fallen to Bilbao at home in their EuroCup opener and tonight (15/11) they took some impressive payback by not only winning but blowing away their opponents 96 – 79 on the road.
Chris Kramer was absolutely brilliant for Rytas with 27 points and seven assists for 38 (!) PIR, while Rokas Gedraitis added 14 points and Loukas Mavrokefalidis 13 plus seven rebounds. Dejan Todorovic was Bilbao’s top performer with a double-double of 14 points/10 rebounds.
Lokomotiv Kuban continued going “Loco”, extending its perfect record after crushing Limoges 81 – 55 in Krasnodar.
It was mostly a defensive triumph for Sasa Obradovic‘s players but Ryan Broekhoff (12 points, eight rebounds) and Trevor Lacey (12 points) stood out on both ends.
Dru Joyce had a season-high 14 points for the French squad.
Yesterday, Alba Berlin took quite the road victory by routing Partizan in Belgrade. The Serbians really need a quality boost and it remains to be seen if that will arrive with the addition of Rade Zagorac.
