Telestet Maroussi 82 Tallinn Kalev 69

Maroussi’s win over Kalev Tallinn was the 4th in a row in the FIBA Europe League for the Greek side. Having come off a derby win over AEK in the Greek League at the weekend, Maroussi continue what is proving to be a great season for them.

Tallinn, meanwhile, have struggled on the European scene and along with Honka Playboys, are the only club in the competition without a win.

Maroussi assumed control of the game from the jump ball and strong inside play from Andre Hutson and Ivan Grgat sparked them to a 23:9 first quarter lead.

It was a lead that they would comfortably maintain for the rest of the game, and gave coach Panagiotis Giannakis the chance to use his bench players. Indeed all the Maroussi players saw court time and every single one got on the scoresheet.

Hutson was the top points scorer and rebounder for Maroussi, finishing with 21 and 9.

Troy Coleman put up 24 points for Tallinn.
