Igokea serving as the host at Coliseum Burgos defeated Hereda San Pablo Burgos, 77-75, retaining its Final 8 hopes for at least two more days.
Anthony Clemmons registered nine of his game-high 20 points in crunch time, including the game-winning layup with 1.7 seconds left. Jasiel Rivero missing a couple of free throws in the limited remaining window confirmed the W to the Bosnian outlet.
Rivero failed to add on his team-high 17 points and force five extra minutes, thus ending his side’s eight-game winning sequence in the Basketball Champions League.
Following the wild Round of 16 Gameday 3 contest, the Group J rivals meet again at Burgos Thursday. A potential win for the team coached by Joan Penarroya will clinch a Final 8 berth and eliminate Igokea.
Dragan Bajic’s team improved to 2-2. The Spanish club fell to 3-1 with Omar Cook and Miquel Salvo still out recovering from recent positive coronavirus tests.
