THE TAKE

With a serious dog-fight brewing in Group I, Strasbourg would love to even its record as it plays host to Hapoel Jerusalem. Coach Eric Girard's Strasbourg dropped to 2-3 with a convincing loss on the road at Zadar. The French team scored just 9 points in the second quarter in falling behind by 23 points at halftime. Strasbourg struggled to get any offense working as it shot just 35% from the floor while watching Zadar shooting 51% for the game. Power forward Derrick Obasohan was one of the few weapons for Girard with 13 points while small forward Elson Mendy scored 10 points off the bench and reserve forward Rob Lewin added 5 points and 10 rebounds. PGE Turów Zgorzelec leads Group I with a 4-1 record and the remaining five teams are either 3-2 or 2-3, meaning a Strasbourg home victory against Jerusalem is essentially a must. Girard's team would also love to grab some revenge after Hapoel beat Strasbourg in Week One at home by just one point. Jerusalem meanwhile fell to 3-2 with a loss on the road to Turów. Coach Dan Shamir's Hapoel out-shot Zgorzelec 51-45% but Jerusalem only forced eight turnovers and was out-rebounded 30-22. Shooting Timmy Bowers had 17 points and power forward Jamie Arnold scored 14 points - 9.5 points below his average - but the rest of Hapoel's starting five totaled just seven points. Small forward Sharon Shason did score 15 points off the bench and reserve guard Anthony Roberson added 10 points and 4 rebounds. Shamir's team will have to do a better job pressuring the ball if it hopes to move to 4-2.

Strasbourg moved into a tie for second place in Group I by topping Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem 81-72 on Tuesday. The game was close until the final minutes of the fourth quarter, but Sanya Giffa and Eddie Shannon stepped up with clutch three-pointers and Jerusalem’s top gun, Timmy Bowers, ran out of answers as the hosts sealed the win. Strasbourg improved to 3-3, the same as Hapoel, but now holds the head-to-head tiebreak advantage after losing by only 1 point in the season-opener in Israel. Strasbourg visits Unics Kazan next week, while Hapoel hosts EiffelTowers Den Bosch. Jerusalem was without injured big man Marcus Slaughter, whose absence cleared the way for Strasbourg center Aaron Pettway to dominate inside to the tune of 20 points and 13 rebounds. Sanya Giffa added a season-high 16 points, John McCord posted 12 points and 10 boards, while Eddie Shannon finished with 11 points and 5 assists. Bowers paced Jerusalem with 23 points, Sharon Shason added 15 and Ramel Curry had 11.

Strasbourg controlled the opening tip and went right inside to Pettway. Shason answered back for Jerusalem with a triple, but Pettway made his presence felt at both ends, throwing down a two-handed jam to put the hosts on top 9-5. Back-to-back triples by Derrick Obasohan and Afik Nissim increased Strasbourg’s lead to 19-10. Curry and Shason came back with threes and despite another Nissim three, Curry’s buzzer-beater made it 23-21 after 10 minutes. Turnovers on both sides got the second period off to a slow start as Pettway continued to control the painted area. Jamie Arnold kept the visitors in the picture and back-to-back threes from Shason and Curry put Jerusalem on top 33-34. However 2 Gauthier Darrigand free throws and another Pettway score restored a 37-34 Strasbourg lead at halftime. Bowers tied the score with a three to open the second half and two minutes later Dror Hagag added a triple to put the visitors on top. Strasbourg fought right back as the game grew more competitive. Late in the period, Haga committed an unsportsmanlike foul on Darrigand, who netted the free throws to put Strasbourg ahead 4, but Bowers came up with a steal and layup to make it 55-53 heading into the fourth quarter. After a series of misses on both ends, Shannon scored from downtown for Strasbourg, but an Arnold basket and Guy Pniny free throws made it 58-57. Giffa came back with a three and Shannon added a jumper to put the hosts up 6. Bowers scored the next 5 points to get Hapoel back. However Giffa and Shannon came right back with big threes to make it 75-66 with less than two minutes left and Jerusalem had no answers as the hosts scored a vital win.

Head Coaches

GIRARD, ERIC
Strasbourg
"It was a good team with good assets and talented foreign players. We played with a lot of pride and conviction. The group has to be congratulated tonight for the efforts they gave out. Even if we lost this game I would have been proud of my players, because it was a high level game."
SHAMIR, DAN
Hapoel Jerusalem
"First of all I would like to congratulate Strasbourg for the win. We didn't make those 19 rebounds. Still it was a good game, but when someone takes 19 rebounds against you it's just hard to win. Every game can make a difference at this point but we are still confident."
