Brose Baskets Bamberg proved its quality by threatening CSKA Moscow with a defeat until the third period, but in the end the “Army team” couldn’t be denied. The Russians got the 100-88 win on the road with Nando De Colo having a stellar game. That means 27 points, 11 rebounds and just 2 turnovers for the French star.
Cory Higgins also did his part with 23 points on 11/12 free throws, while Nikita Kurbanov had a double double (17 p., 10 r.) and Kyle Hines in his return to the “Freak City” scored 17 points against his former team. Six players of Brose Baskets scored in double digits, Elias Harris missed the game while the duo of Nicolo Melli with 16 points and Daniel Theiss with 15 led the hosts in scoring. The Germans made also just 4 turnovers, but couldn’t stop the offense of CSKA.
The guests finished the game with 22/33 two pointers (66%), 10/25 threes (40%) and 26/28 free throws (92%). With those kind of number you simply can’t be defeated.
