Just like Manisa, who ultimately managed to beat Rytas Vilnius, Promitheas Patras only had one result in mind tonight in order to stay alive in the Basketball Champions League Round of 16.
Keeping up with the game until halftime, in the second half the Greeks completely lost track against Derthona, as the Italians entered an 11-0 run which finally brought them to the 82-60 road win.
Justin Gorham completely dominated on both ends of the floor, finishing with a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds.
He was assisted scoring-wise by Christian Vital, who had 14 points over 4/7 from deep.
On the losing side, nobody scored more than 12 points, as Jordan Walker did off the bench. With only 40.4% from the field, the loss was inevitable.
For one Greek team that got eliminated in Group I, there’s another Greek team that already made it to the Basketball Champions League Quarter-Finals: AEK, which booked their ticket after beating Wurzburg.
