Azovmash won its fourth consecutive Ukrainian League title - sixth overall - by downing BC Donetsk 78-90 in Game 3 of the best-of-five finals, enough to sweep the series. Dijon Thompson led the winners with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Serhiy Lishchuk added 17, Marius Prekevicius and Rolandas Jarutis each had 11 while Hasan Rizvic got 10 for Azovmash. Chris Owens led Donetsk with 37 points and 13 rebounds. Demetrius Alexander added 17 points for the hosts, that already trailed 2-12 early. Andres Rodriguez tried to change things for the hosts but an unstoppable Rizvic and a triple by Richard Guinn made it a 15-point game, 12-27, at the end of the first quarter. Azovmash kept playing with high intensity in defense. A three-pointer by Goran Cakic highlighted a 0-11 run that broke the game open, 18-45, late in the second quarter. A free throw by Simonas Serapinas fixed the halftime score at 27-50. Alexander stepped up with back-to-back baskets immediately after the break. He found some help from Owens to give Donetsk some hope, 51-62, late in the third quarter. Lishchuk and Thompson took over to keep Azovmash out of troubles throughout the fourth quarter, enough for the guests to win another Ukrainian League title! MORE

One of the fastest rising domestic competitions in Europe is none other than the Ukrainian League, that is attracting more and more good players every season. Azovmash Mariupol has won five Ukrainian League titles in the last six seasons. It looks stronger than ever, as it brought back playmaker Khalid El-Amin, kept Tomas Delininkaitis, Panos Liadelis and Serhiy Lishchuk and added Marc Salyers, Uche Nsonwu and Dijon Thompson, among many others. As usual, its main contender will be none other than BC Kyiv, which finished second despite losing just four games in the entire 2007-08 Ukrainian League season. Kyiv also looks stronger than ever with Brent Wright, Scoonie Penn, Clay Tucker, Manu Markoishvili, Artur Drozdov, Kenan Bajramovic and Goran Jeretin. Donetsk is an emerging force with the arrival of Andres Rodriguez, P.J. Tucker and Chris Burguess. Khimik stays competitive with Jarrius Jackson, Wykeen Kelly, Sasa Bratic and Giorgos Diamantopoulos. Politekhnika Lvov, with Volodymyr Gurtovoy and Brad Rootes, may compete for a semifinal spot, as well as Cherkasy Monkeys, featuring Vladislav Dragojlovic.
