Cholet matched Tsmoki-Minsk at 2-3 in Group C of the Basketball Champions League claiming the win, 89-71, in Gameday 9 action Tuesday at La Meilleraie.
Gerry Blakes punched in a game-high 25 points. Youngster Yoan Makoundou paired his career-high 18 points with nine rebounds. Slovenian Gregor Hrovat added a 13-point, 12-assist double-double.
Robert Lowery went for 22 points but his side trailed by double-digits for most of the second half.
Both teams are set to complete the Regular Season in a similar situation. Erman Kunter’s side will face Hapoel Unet-Credit Holon at home and the Belarusian club will host AEK. Improving to 3-3 can potentially be enough to advance depending on tiebreakers.
