Travis Reed was the star man for Kalev, netting 34 points and 11 rebounds for the Estonian outfit at the Sports Palace Arena in Kiev.

The American was in sensational form for the visitors, who stormed back in the final two quarters after trailing 39-37 at half-time.

The hosts managed just 13 points in the third quarter as they were outdone by a superior Kalev, who scored 23 in that period.

Eleven of those went to Reed as the visitors opened up an eight-point lead over their hosts.

Fellow American Cornelius Mc Fadgon Jr, who poured in 20 points, and Estonian Valmo Kriisa (18 points) were the other leading scorers for Veselin Matic's men, while LaMarr Greer (18 points) was the best player for Kyiv.

Heading into the game, both teams were locked on four points apiece with 1-2 records, but in the decider on Tuesday, the visitors showed more hunger and in the end prevailed easily to claim their berth in the last 16.
