Jeremy Chappell led the charge with 21 points, Julyan Stone and Mitchell Watt added 14 points, and Umana Reyer Venezia got the 81-72 road win over Rytas Vilnius, despite a memorable performance by Martynas Echodas.
The 22-years old Lithuanian scored 26 points on 11/17 FG and grabbed six rebounds, but it was simply not enough as the hosts got the win for the 7DaysEuroCup Group B and have a 3-2 record.
The Italians got a comfortable 46-29 half time lead, and the best things Rytas did was to cut it to five (57-52) in the third period. However, they couldn’t get any closer and Venezia kept things under control until the end thanks to a great shooting night that also included 14/31 threes.
After this result, the hosts have just one win in five EuroCup games.
