// 22 November 2005


BC Kyiv cruised into Round II of the EuroCup with a 78-57 win over Telekom Baskets Bonn on Tuesday - their fourth triumph in five Group G games.

Kyiv, runners-up in the FIBA Europe League last season to Dynamo St Petersburg, had five players hit double figures in scoring, led by center Ratko Varda's 14 points.

Bonn, who have lost all five of their games, had already been eliminated from contention in the EuroCup.

The German team did have a promising start and led 17-11 inside the final minute of the first quarter.

Kyiv went on an 8-0 spurt which lasted just under four minutes to move in front at 19-17, but Bonn dug in and Andrew Wisniewski tied the game at 25-25 with three minutes to go in the first half.

At that point, Kyiv started to take control.

Varda hit a three-pointer and Dragan Lukovski added a basket for a 30-25 lead.

Varda would strike again with a lay-up off a feed from Lukovski for a 34-29 half-time advantage.

Hrvoje Perincic laid one up and in for Bonn at the start of the second half, but then Kyiv went on a 12-0 run, started by a pair of Lukovski free throws and continued by Andrii Lebediev who had a lay-up and then drained a shot from the arc for a 41-31 lead.

Lebediev's lay-up with 6:24 remaining in the third quarter gave the hosts a 46-31 advantage and that, effectively, killed the game.

Bonn would get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way.

Kyiv advance - just the tonic for a team that lost to arch rivals Azovmash in the Ukraine Superleague at the weekend.
