Two weeks ago, BAXI Manresa completely dismantled Niners Chemnitz by winning 105-59 at home, imposing experience and an extraordinary offensive flow against the orange newcomers.
Traveling to Germany aiming to follow with another victory against the same opponents, Diego Ocampo’s team didn’t miss the chance to extend their streak in Group G. They’re now 3-1 after winning 89-78 on the road against Chemnitz.
The 2021-22 competition’s runner-up saw an impression and complete contribution from son-of-art Derrick Alston Jr., who had 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists in his team’s victory.
Alex Reyes had a huge shooting night with 15 points over 6/9 from the field including 3/5 from deep. Cameron Hunt also contributed with 13 points and 5 assists for the Catalans, who collectively had 25 points off Chemnitz’s turnovers and 43 points off the bench.
The home side, which totally collapsed during the ultimate fourth quarter, couldn’t take advantage of William Christmas’ night of 19 points and 8 rebounds. Victor Bailey Jr. had 13 points in the loss.
Tomorrow Bertram Derthona Tortona will host SL Benfica trying to extend their winning streak to four consecutive games, leading Group G. BAXI Manresa is right there behind with a 3-1 record, potentially locking on the second place in the group.
