It was about to be a historic night for Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball, making it to the Basketball Champions League Round of 16 in the club’s first-ever season in the competition.

However, Galatasaray managed to survive despite wasting a 17-point lead earlier in the game, winning 75-73 in the end.

After becoming only the second player for Galataarsay with a 20-5-5 game in the Basketball Champions League in Game 2, Will Cummings had 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists tonight.

Galatasaray‘s newest acquisition Tyrone Wallace played only 09:28 minutes and ended with 3 points.

In his last Basketball Champions League game, 2006-born point guard and projected NBA Draft lottery pick Nolan Traore finished with 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, but he missed the shot to tie.

Galatasaray will now face Unicaja, Rytas Vilnius, and Manisa in Group J of the Basketball Champions League Round of 16, extending their season.
