THE TAKE

Asvel Basket can ill afford to drop its second game in Group E as it hosts Azovmash Mariupol. Head coach Vincent Collet's squad was bounced in the regular season opener 95-74 by Lietuvos Rytas. Asvel was out-rebounded 38-24 and allowed Rytas to shoot 56% from the floor while hitting just 5 of 20 (25%) from long range. Collet's men also committed 17 turnovers. Guard J.R. Reynolds came off the bench to lead Asvel with 17 points while reserve guard Ben Dewar added 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots. Center Ali Traore had 16 points and forward Amara Sy chipped in 12 points. Asvel shot a respectable 48% overall from the floor, but Collet's team must defend better and work much harder on the boards if it hopes to stand a chance against Azovmash Mariupol. Head coach Mehmed Becirovic's Azovash meanwhile needed overtime to knock off Kalise Gran Canaria 92-90. The Ukrainian side was unable to use its big first quarter lead at home as it was beaten down by Gran Canaria's depth. Guard Khalid El-Amin paced four Azovmash players in double figures with 23 points along with 7 assists. Center Tomas Van Den Spiegel poured in 21 points with 6 rebounds and 2 blocked shots, while forward Marc Salyers had 16 points and 7 rebounds and forward Dijon Thompson added 14 points and 9 rebounds. But besides starting guard Oleksandr Skutyelnik chipping in 7 points, the rest of the team only scored 11 points. Becirovic's troops held Gran Canaria to 44% shooting, but forced only 11 turnovers and committed just 14 fouls while getting to the free throw line 29 times - compared to just 12 for Kalise. As long as Azovmash does not run into foul trouble and have to rely on its bench too much, it is the favorite to improve to 2-0.

Troutman scored 7 of his 22 points in the game-deciding 11-0 fourth quarter run while Sy hit a number of important baskets to finish with 24 points and 4 assists. J.R. Reynolds added 14 points and 8 assists for Asvel and Eric Campbell chipped in 8 points and 7 rebounds. Asvel will next play at Kalise Gran Canaria. Azovmash dropped to 1-1 and will next host Lietuvos Rytas. Simonas Serapinas led Azovmash wtih 21 points and Tomas Van Den Spiegel collected 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Dijon Thompson scored 14 points and Marc Salyers chipped in 13 points and 6 rebounds. Khalid El-Amin was held to just 6 points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field though he did dish out 7 assists in the losing effort.

Van Den Spiegel scored the first four points of the game for the guests and Salyers made it 0-6. Asvel finally hit its first basket - three minutes into the game as Ali Traore hit a lay-up. Reynolds knocked down a triple and Campbell hit back-to-back baskets to complete a 9-0 run for a 9-6 lead. A Van Den Spiegel dunk stopped the run and Oleksandr Skutyelnik's triple made it 11-11. Thompson converted a three-point play and hit a triple and Serapinas's three-point play gave Azovmash a 17-22 advantage. Sy and Reynolds helped bring Asvel to within 23-24 after one period. Sy gave Asvel back the lead to start the second but Thompson pushed Azovmash back ahead. The score was tied at 29-29 when Aymeric Jeanneau scored his first basket of the game then Laurent Foirest hit his first score and followed that with a triple for a 36-29 advantage. Van Den Spiegel snapped Azovmash's three-minute scoreless drought with a foul shot and then a layup made it 37-33. Chevon Troutman put back an offensive rebound and then hit a fast break layup to re-establish a 41-33 lead. Serapinas knocked down a triple but Troutman also was on target from long range just before the buzzer as the hosts led 45-38 at the break.

Sy opened the second half for Asvel and then El-Amin scored his first basket of the game. Sy's three-point play pushed the margin back to 10 points - 52-42. Serapinas hit from long range but Reynolds answered only to have Salyers answer right back. Serapinas continued his fine game with a three-point play to cut the deficit to 55-53. Salyers's next triple made it a one-point game and Van Den Spiegel's dunk and later free throw completed a 2-14 run for a 57-59 lead. But Sy answered and knotted the game at 59-59 with a dunk just before the third quarter buzzer. Sy once again started the scoring in the fourth and Van Den Spiegel gave Mariupol a 61-63 lead. And it was 63-66 after Thompson's triple. But Campbell's two foul shots started a 11-0 run which featured Troutman scoring seven points for a 74-66 Asvel advantage midway through the fourth. Serapinas answered with a triple only to have Sy knock down a three-ball and after two Azovmash turnovers Reynolds made it 81-71 inside the two-minute mark. Even though Salyers drained a triple, Sy's basket made it 85-76. But Azovmash had one more run left in it. Van Den Spiegel made a basket and missed the three-point play conversion only to have Thompson grab the rebound, score and get fouled. Thompson made the foul shot and it was just 85-81. Thompson stole the ball from Ben Dewar and then Salyers and Thompson both missed triples before Serapis put back the offensive rebound which proved meaningless in the end.
