Basketball Champions League title holders, AEK, beat Fuenlabrada, 90-82, in the Pabellon Fernando Martin. The Queen’s quality on the court during the Regular Season’s Week 12 matchup was too much to handle for the Spaniards.
Vince Hunter added another top-notch performance making 9/12 two-pointers for a total of 24 points. The 24-year-old American center also took down eleven rebounds and dished five assists en route for a massive 37 efficiency ranking.
The visitors built a double-digit advantage from the first period and never looked back. Jordan Theodore with 19 points and Dusan Sakota with 17 aided their team to hold on to its comfortable lead up to the final minute. Luca Banchi’s team has already clinched a playoffs spot, but geared up for Group C’s top spot progressing to 10-2.
Nestor Garcia’s club was officially eliminated after falling to 3-9 with its ninth consecutive BCL defeat. Christian Eyenga and Maurice Kemp shared a team-high 13 points for the losing side on Wednesday.
