BC Triumph signed off from the EuroChallenge Final Four on Sunday in Bologna with a 94-82 win over Proteas EKA AEL.

7. Quincy Taylor (Proteas EKA AEL)
Quincy Taylor had a big night for Proteas but they leave Bologna without a win.
AEL trailed by as many as 17 in the first half but reduced the deficit to 57-45 at the break.

Triumph were six of nine from three-point range in the first two quarters and they also out-rebounded AEL 15-7.

The Russian team opened up a 57-40 lead early in the third quarter but then allowed the Cypriot team to reel off 12 straight points.

That made it 57-52, but Triumph then surged back into a big lead by scoring 13 of the game's next 15 points.

Eremine's team went in front by 25 early in the fourth quarter and cruised the rest of the way.

Ernest Bremer poured in 19 points - 14 in the second half - for Triumph. Marque Perry bounced back from his disappointing Semi-Final by contributing 16 for Triumph.

Quincy Taylor had 19 points - 15 before half-time - to lead Proteas in their last game of the season.

Haris Mujezinovic of Bosnia and Herzegovina also had 18 points while Goran Nikolic contributed 16.

Quotes BC Triumph vs.
Proteas EKA AEL

Miroslav Nikolic, Proteas Head Coach:

"We played against a better team than us today. We did what we could but it was not enough and we deserve the 4th place. My players are very tired now because they did everything they could."

 
Stanislav Eremine, Lyubertsy Head Coach:

"Today we played much better on offence. Proteas gave us a lot of open shots which we could make. We did not come here for this game but on Friday we did not play on the same level as today."

Ernest Bremer, Lyubertsy Player:

"We played a good game. We came out aggressive and were able to keep it up for 40 minutes."
