THE TAKE

ASK Riga is looking to snap out of a slump and stay alive for the elimination round as it hosts Artland Dragons in Group H. Coach Ramunas Butautas's Riga lost at home to Kyiv in dropping its third straight game and falling to 2-5 in fifth place - two games adrift of third and fourth place. Riga shot just 41% from the field and watched Kyiv knock down 10-of-20 (50%) from long range in the loss. Butautas's Latvian side wasted 18-point showings by small forward Dwayne Broyles and point guard Curtis Millage while center Raitis Grafs added 11 points and 9 rebounds off the bench. ASK desperately needs a victory to stay alive for the next round. And Butautas's bunch will be looking for revenge after losing at Artland in Week Three with a shot to at least even the game at the buzzer. In the end, Riga let Dragons off the hook after forcing 21 turnovers. Artland Dragons coach Chris Fleming will not accept his team turning the ball over that many times, especially with so much on the line. The German team lost at home to Lukoil Academic to drop to 4-3 after starting the season at 3-1. Artland shot 49% from the floor but allowed Lukoil to hit 52% for the game while forcing only 9 turnovers. Small forward Terrence Thomas led the way with 25 points while shooting guard Lamont McIntosh had 15 points and center Adam Chubb chipped in 10 points and 8 rebounds. Fleming also acquired some help as he brought back former Dragon big man Chad Prewitt - though he is unavailable in the ULEB Cup unless Artland reaches the elimination round. A victory on the road over a struggling club is pretty much a must, especially as Artland hosts fellow 4-3 side Benetton Tamoil next week.

ASK Riga stayed alive in the fight to reach the elimination rounds in Group H by downing the Artland Dragons 70-60 in the Latvian capital on Tuesday. ASK improved to 3-5 and keeps options to become one of the best fourth-ranked teams in the competition. Meanwhile, the Dragons dropped to 4-3 and have a major showdown against Benetton Tamoil Treviso next week. Dwayne Broyles paced the winners with 15 points while Curtis Millage added 11 for ASK. Lamont McIntosh had 13 points for the Dragons while Paul Johnson added 10. ASK opened the game with an 11-0 run and used outstanding defense and an unstoppable Raitis Grafs to keep a 15-6 edge after 10 minutes. Earl Rowland and Johnson got the Dragons within 21-18, but second-chance points and close baskets helped ASK to restore a double-digit margin, 29-19, at halftime. ASK rolled in the third quarter, as Millage and A.J. Bramlett allowed the hosts to break the game open, 53-30, at the end of the third quarter, enough to register a much-needed win, as the Dragons only rallied once the outcome was clear.

The Dragons tried to run its offense through Darius Hall in the early going without much success. Meanwhile, Broyles and Gatis Jahovics combined for all points in an 11-0 ASK run that made the guests call timeout. The Dragons missed 9 shots and committed 3 turnovers before Dirk Madrich stepped up with free throws. Back-to-back baskets by Grafs allowed ASK to keep a 15-6 lead after 10 minutes. ASK kept dominating the game with outstanding defense early in the second quarter. McIntosh followed a big basket with a triple to get the Dragons within 17-11. Curtis Millage and Broyles stepped up off a ASK timeout but Rowland and Johnson got Artland even closer, 21-18. Grafs and Aerick Sanders gave ASK some air with consecutive baskets for a 25-18 lead. Another close basket by Grafs and free throws by Millage allowed ASK to get a 29-19 halftime edge. Sanders scored around the basket for ASK right after the break while the Dragons kept struggling against the hosts' strong defense. Millage stroke from downtown but Madrich and Thomas got Artland within 34-23. A layup by Bramlett ignited an 8-0 run that he capped with another close basket to break the game open, 42-23. Thomas fired in a triple but ASK kept rolling, as Jahovics and Bramlett allowed the hosts to get a 23-point margin, 53-30, at the end of the third quarter. Dairis Bertans and Broyles buried one apiece from beyond the arc to seal the outcome, 59-34, early in the fourth quarter. Both teams fought for points differential now, as the Dragons slightly improved their offense in the final minutes. Even with that, ASK allowed their fans to celebrate a big home win.

BUTAUTAS, RAMUNAS
ASK Riga
"We won a very important match. We controlled three quarters of the match for what I am very satisfied. We played very good in defense and in the second half also in offense. In the fourth quarter we were already waiting the end of the match, which means we let the other team to make the result smaller, which can be providential at the end of the tourney. We still have left two hard matches. We will do all to get into the next phase."
FLEMING, CHRIS
Artland Dragons
"Congratulations to Riga team for their well-earned victory. In the first half both teams played bad, especially our team. It was not possible to play worse. A little bit better we played in the fourth quarter. We felt the lack of our two injured starters but it cannot be used to justify tonight's loss. ASK played very well in defense but still we made many mistakes."
