Thanks to a great performance from three-point (9/17), Limoges CSP found the first win in the BCL Regular Season, beating VEF Riga 80-53 after the 71-51 loss in Latvia.
Jayvon Graves, who came off the bench for Massimo Cancellieri’s team, went off for 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, being the best on the French side.
Bryce Jones and Desi Rodriguez combined for 28 points, while fan-favorite Nicolas Lang had 11.
Kristers Zoriks was by far the MVP of the Latvian team as he ended with 16 points and 4 assists.
Nysier Brooks, who had previously grabbed 10+ rebounds in each of his two games in the BCL, followed with 12 points and 4 rebounds, missing the first free throw of his season.
With this result, Limoges turned the points difference and overcame VEF Riga in Group F. BAXI Manresa are Benfica are both 3-1 after the win on the road by the Portuguese team.
