Casademont Zaragoza and Nizhny Novgorod put on a close duel that went down to the wire as the Spaniards eventually came out with a 78-75 home win in Group D of the Basketball Champions League.
Dylan Ennis was the hero of the night with 22 points on 8-11 shooting including the game-winning three-pointer in the final second.
Robin Benzing helped out with 16 points while DJ Seeley added ten points for the squad led by the recently appointed head coach Sergio Hernandez who used nine out of his 12 players available for this match.
On the other side, coach Zoran Lukic had eight players at his disposal and they all got minutes, proving once again that Lukic’s squads never go out without a fight.
Alex Gavrilovic almost reached a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds while Ivan Strebkov scored 16 and Kasey Shepherd 13 points.
