DTL EKA AEL Lemesos continued their winning ways by prevailing over the Amsterdam Astronauts 95-79.
The victory moved the Cyprus-based outfit into sole possession of first place in Group H.
Lemesos took control of the game early.
Zydrunas Urbonas dropped in a three-pointer 15 seconds into the game and shortly after Ryan Randle hit a jump shot to put Lemesos ahead 7-0.
Amsterdam scored the next six points, but Igors Miglinieks' side took complete control with a 19-8 run to close the first quarter leading 26-14.
Randle, who finished with 16 points, started the spurt with a lay-up and Georgios Palalas added six points during the run, including a three-point play with eight seconds to go in the quarter which put his side ahead by double-digits.
The two teams played even for most of the next three quarters, but still Lemesos was able to ease to victory as a result of their fast start.
Urbonas led the way with 19 points for the victors, while Milutin Aleksic, a EuroCup All-Star one year ago, recorded his EuroCup season-high with 18. |
