THE TAKE

CEZ Nymburk will clinch a berth in the elimination round if it can beat Dynamo Moscow its Group F finale. Head coach Muli Katzurin's Nymburk will also move on should Telindus Oostende lose. Nymburk comes into the game looking to right its way after losing last week at Oostende to snap a three-game winning streak and fall to 5-4. The Czech team nearly won on the road despite being out-shot 47%-58% and watching Oostende win the rebound battle 30-19. But Katzurin's team was unable to take advantage of 22 Telindus turnovers. Center Radoslav Rancik was CEZ's main weapon with 27 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 7 steals. Shooting guard Monty Mack added 16 points, point guard Arthur Lee had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists and center Petr Benda chipped in 10 points. But it was not enough for Katzurin's team, which is looking to avenge a Week 5 loss at Dynamo Moscow, which shot a blistering 61% from the floor. Head coach Svetislav Pesic's Dynamo comes into the game having already clinched first place in Group I. The Russian team improved to 7-2 with a convincing home victory over Panellinios. Moscow hit 60% from the floor and committed just 9 turnovers as Pesic's men scored 40 points in the first quarter alone while forcing 21 Panellinios turnovers. Shooting guard Henry Domercant poured in 21 points while small forward Travis Hansen and shooting guard Sergey Bykov both tallied 17 points. And power forward Antonis Fotsis collected 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals. While his team may have already secured first place, don't expect Pesic to experiment too much until the game is nearly out of reach.

Henry Domercant - Dynamo MoscowHenry Domercant scored 26 points as Dynamo Moscow overcame a late comeback to hold off CEZ Nymburk 83-88 in Group F. Moscow, which came into the game already having clinched first place in the group, improved to 8-2 as five players scored in double figures. Travis Hansen collected 16 points and 4 rebounds while Robertas Javtokas had 13 points and 8 rebounds and Milos Vujanic added 11 points and 5 assists. Antonis Fotsis chipped in 10 points and 7 rebounds for Moscow. Nymburk meanwhile dropped to 5-5 and finished in fourth place. Still, CEZ was able to grab a spot in the Last 32 as one of the five best fourth-placed teams. Radoslav Rancik led the way with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists while Arthur Lee had 15 points and 7 assists and Ladislav Sokolovsky tallied 11 points.

Javtokas opened the scoring for the guests while Petr Benda gave the Nymburk its first lead at 6-4. Sokolovsky and Pavel Slezas both nailed three-pointers as CEZ jumped ahead 14-7. Sokolovsky hit again from long range as did Rancik as the lead bulged to 20-12. But Domercant countered with eight straight points for Dynamo and Dmitry Domani's long ball completed a 2-11 surge to pull Moscow ahead 22-23 after one period. The advantage was 22-26 after Dmitriy Khvostov's triple to start the second. Rancik and Benda both scored four points as Nymburk trailed just 30-32 only to see Javtokas score twice and Hansen's three-ball had Moscow ahead 30-40. But Lee's three-pointer made it 35-42 at the break. Domercant began the third with a score and Sokolovsky answered with a long-ball. But Fotsis knocked down a three-pointer as well and four straight points by Domercant pushed Dynamo ahead 40-53. The lead was 17 points (42-59) after a Domercant triple and two foul shots. Javtokas's three-point play made it 47-63 before Nymburk closed the period with the final six points to trim the deficit to 52-63 going into the fourth. Moscow struck first in the final period with a three-pointer by. But CEZ used the long ball to get back into the game as Rancik made to two three-balls and Blake Schilb also hit from long range. And Nymburk took advantage of three Dynamo turnovers to pull within 69-71 on Schilb's basket, which completed a 10-0 run. The lead was back up to five points - 74-79 - after three-balls from Vujanic and Hansen. But Monty Mack's steal and lay-up gave Nymburk the lead 80-79. The lead didn't last long as Domercant scored four points in a row. Lee's three-pointer cut the deficit to 83-85 only to see Hansen hit from downtown in the final minute. And Domercant blocked a Lee shot as Nymburk could not score again.

KATZURIN, MULI
CEZ Nymburk
"I am not happy to lose but I think that our team has showed an incredible comeback of the last quarter. I know many teams that will give up and lose by 30 points if they get down by 17 against Dynamo. We never gave up and found the energy to come back. Dynamo's shooters Domercant and Hansen made some incredibly tough shots down the stretch. In my coaching career I do not recollect a game in which a team would make so many tough shots in a row. But perhaps that's why these guys are making the salaries they are making in Dynamo, to make these shots. I am never happy after a loss but I think we can walk out of the arena with our heads high today. I thank all the fans that came today to support us and helped break another attendance record tonight, also thank to all who supported us even in front of the TV. We must realize that there is something very special going here when you have so many people coming to a game. The key is not to get satisfied and find a way to continue in this progress."
PESIC, SVETISLAV
Dynamo Moscow
"I think we played a very good game today with the exception of making too many turnovers. In fact, I would say that we played the best of the first stage of the competition tonight. Nymburk was in a must win situation to be guaranteed a spot in next stage so they found the energy to fight back when they got down by 17. Perhaps Nymburk was a bit nervous in the beginning because of the must win scenario but saw there was nothing to lose when we opened up the game. The atmosphere was the best in all games we played so far. I would feel very bad for Nymburk's team if they would not qualify for the next round because they are a quality team that does not give up."
