Setting up an opportunity to finish first in Group F, Telekom Baskets Bonn defeated Hapoel Holon on Wednesday.
Savion Flagg posted a double-double paving the way for the 72-65 victory behind closed doors in Arena Riga.
Flagg, 24, registered 12 points, 11 rebounds, four steals, and two assists in Gameday 5 of the Basketball Champions League Regular Season. His side matched Holon at 3-2 and secured the tiebreaker advantage.
Christian Sengfelder and Noah Kirkwood shared a team-high 12 points in Latvia. Bonn native Florian Koch remained sidelined for the defending champions.
Coming in with a league-high 45.8% from beyond the arc, the team coached by Amit Sherf was limited to 17.9% in Riga. Despite shooting woes, bouncing back from an early 14-point deficit shaped sporadic one-possession leads in the second half. Allowing eight unanswered points midway through the fourth quarter returned control to the opponents.
Shawn Dawson registered a team-high 15 points in the losing effort. Drew Crawford and C.J. Harris followed with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
