Lost its four previous Basketball Champions League road games, but Falco Szombathely never trailed for the 89-80 triumph over PAOK at Thessaloniki on Tuesday evening.
Nine players got on the board in the Basketball Champions League Regular Season Gameday 9 contest, Juvonte Reddic led the pack with 14 points to his name, took down eight boards as well. Benedek Varadi and Benke Szilard posted 11 points each, Marko Filipovity added ten.
Adam Smith went for 31 points in the Group D affair, but his fourth 20-point outing in five games was not enough for PAOK that cut the deficit to one point in the fourth period but lacked the finishing touch afterwards. Zane Knowles had 13 points and eight rebounds in losing effort.
Powered by 11/22 threes, Gasper Okorn’s side jumped to 5-4 with the two-game sweep against the Greek club. Kostas Charalampidis’ team was held to the wrong end of the outcome at the PAOK Sports Arena for the third time in the current BCL season, as a result fell to 3-6.
