30 November 2006

Three weeks ago Turk Telekom's Erwin Dudley witnessed his team go down 84-76 to Panionios BC in Greece.

But on Tuesday, Dudley was back in action as he starred in Ankara to guide the Turks to a 82-75 victory in the reverse tie between the two sides.

There is a chemistry among us, which is helpful. We fought together right until the end.

His first free throw opened the scoring for the hosts in a night where he went on to claim a 28-point match haul.

"I tried to play hard and I got it," he told PA Sport. "I had a good offensive game."

Tuesday's victory moves Turk Telekom to the top of Group G, and leaves the Greek side one point behind.

However, Dudley opted to bask in the success and made no secret of his joy.

"It's been pretty good for the team. There is a chemistry among us, which is helpful. We fought together right until the end," added Dudley, who also weighed in with 10 rebounds on the night.

Once the team came from behind to draw level at 73-73, they never looked back.

"It wasn't an easy game, we had to fight hard. We've made some mistakes and so did the opposition, but we controlled our game," said the 25-year-old.

Happy with the team's overall performance Dudley is still keeping his feet on the ground as he looks forward to the rest of the competition.

"I just can say that we played a very good game. We have another two games on road, and we'll do our best to keep winning."
