Karsiyaka is simply the better team and that was proven once more with an easy 95-79 win over Kolossos H Hotels.
The team from the Greek island of Rodos had already been beaten at home, and things proved to be even more one-sided this time around.
Errick McCollum (23 p.), Jerry Boutsiele (14 p.), Daron Russell (16 p.), and James Web (10 p.) provided Karsiyaka with admirable firepower, leading them to a 3-1 record in Group C while Kollosos is all but eliminated at 0-3.
Gabriel Galvanini with 12 points was the leading scorer of the losing side.
A stellar second quarter
It was a competitive contest in the first period with Karsiyaka leading by three (28-25) at the end of it. However, a 23-7 partial score followed which pushed Karsiyaka to a 19-point lead (51-32) and the game was prematurely over.
At halftime, Karsiyaka was up by 20 points (58-38) having already four players scoring in double digits and Kolossos couldn’t react.
Karsiyaka led by 25 (70-45) and cruised until the end.
