Laboral Kutxa was fighting for its life and in the end one of the new faces in the team saved the day. Mike James was the top scorer with 14 points after the three pointer which practically decided the outcome in the 81-74 win over Nizhny Novgorod.
In the gym that once was one of the toughest for any guest to get the win, Nizhny was leading two minutes before the end of the game (70-69) and anything was possible with Taylor Rochestie having 24 points on 6/7 threes against his former team. However, in what was a close game from wire to wire the final word belonged to “character Baskonia” as the hosts had a 16-4 run in the last three minutes.
