A blistering opening quarter set the tone as the Dutch visitors were left in the trail of an offensive blitz as Göttingen racked up 30 points to lead by sixteen.

EiffelTowers worked hard to try and get themselves back in the game during the second quarter and initially had limited success as they halved the deficit at 41-33 with three minutes left until half-time.

However a sloppy finish to the half proved costly as the Violets scored 12 of the last fourteen points including triples by Jacobsen and Rochestie and then a big dunk by Christopher McNaughton.

Trailing 53-35 heading into the second half, things got worse for the visitors as they went 61-39 behind although they did rally to get back to within 12 points in the third.

However that was as close as they would get and the home team strolled to their second win of the group phase.

Jason Boone supported the excellent Jacobsen with 15 points while for EiffelTowers, Anthony Richardson and Kees Akerboom combined for 38 points with the latter sinking five triples in the game.
