Matt Janning dropped a 25 points season-high as Lokomotiv Kuban made the 3/3 in the EuroCup Top 16 by overpowering Fuenlabrada 86 – 61 in Krasnodar for Group E.
The Spaniards fell to a 1 – 2 record, after a sloppy performance on both ends and only Pako Cruz and Ian O’Leary scoring in double figures with 13 and 11 respectively.
Lokobasket entered the match quite furious closing the first quarter with a 20-point advantage, 30 – 10 and basically finishing the game quite early.
Fuenlabrada struggled with the absence of players such as Marko Popovic and Moussa Diagne and was unable to recover, shooting poorly from beyond the arc (5/26). They balanced the game after the first period, but couldn’t mount a come back, as Lokomotiv kept its distance until the final buzzer.
