In command for yet another Basketball Champions League game on the road, Unicaja dominated Limoges CSP on the way to the 84-67 victory in Beaublanc Tuesday.
Back in France after his 2021-22 stint at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Dylan Osetkowski dropped 19 points, a new personal best at his current team. Grabbing seven rebounds helped produce a game-high efficiency rating of 22 in the Round of 16 Gameday 2 contest.
Second win for the team guided by Ibon Navarro in Group K and the fourth win in a row across all competitions, including improving to 13-5 in Spain’s Liga Endesa. Making it even nicer, fourth win in as many away games in the 2022-23 edition of the Champions League.
After mishandling an early seven-point advantage, the team based in Malaga stormed back and went up by 11 points at the break. Forcing 14 turnovers and managing a return of 20 points created huge issues for Limoges, especially in the second half as the lead grew to 21 points.
Besides San Diego-born Osetkowski, four additional Unicaja players scored in double-digits with David Kravish ending up with 11 points. Nihad Dedovic, Kendrick Perry, and Will Thomas all contributed ten points. Jonathan Barreiro was ruled out due to injury.
The losing head coach Massimo Cancellieri missed injured Desi Rodriguez but recent signing Malcolm Miller registered his first BCL appearance logging two points and five rebounds through foul trouble. Kenny Kadji, added to the roster on Monday, went for six points in 16 minutes. Jayvon Graves and Nicolas Lang shared a team-high 17 points.
