THE TAKE

With both teams at a standstill with a 1-2 record and all options still wide open in Group A, EWE Baskets face off again this week, this time in Turkey, with sights set of gaining ground on group leaders Unics Kazan and Le Mans in the race for the Last 16. Mindaugas Lukauskis will be Banvit’s main target defensively in the rematch, as the forward played an outstanding game last week with 26 points, 8 assists and 3 steals in a career night. Aron Baynes added 17 points for the winners, Rickey Paulding 16 and Louis Campbell tallied 14 plus 9 assists in a noted offensive and defensive performance by the German side. Banvit's leading scorers were Antonio Graves and Lance Williams, with 13 points each, while Ibrahim Yildirim added 10, but head coach Ene Orhun will have to find ways to better defend the glass, as a 33-19 rebounding edge proved key for EWE Baskets’s home victory. Visiting head coach Predrag Krunic will look again to Aussie big man Baynes to provide a strong presence against Banvit’s Vladimir Golubovic, who was kept in check last week with only 6 points in 10 minutes, while Orhun hopes Chuck Davis can rebound from a bad shooting night and become a factor in the trenches against the likes of Baynes and skilled center Oliver Stevic. The visitors should have more room to operate inside if Banvit doesn’t keep an eye on Mindaugas on the perimeter, as the forward is a proven long range marksman, ranking 8th in triples made in the tournament, with 9 so far. The outcome of the backcourt duel should be one of the keys to the game, as both playmakers rank at the top of the Eurocup in the assist department: EWE’s Campbell leads the way at fifth in the league with 5.7 dishes per game, while Banvit’s Baris Ermis follows three places behind at 5.3. If he wants to surpass his opponent, he should look no further than teammate Keith Simmons, who was perfect from the field last week, but took only 4 shots. Banvit may want to get him more involved in the offense with the double motive of banking more points from that position and maybe tire Paulding some on defense.

Antonio Graves - Banvit BKBanvit BK moved into the thick of the Group A race for the Last 16 on Tuesday when it downed visiting EWE Baskets Oldenburg 81-72 at home in Bandirma, Turkey. Banvit improved to 2-2 in Group A and leapfrogged the German side into a tie for second place. Oldenburg dropped to 1-3 and fourth place, but still retains its Top 16 chances, though slim. Banvit scored 1 more foul shot than Oldenburg despite enjoying 10 fewer attempts, and made 65% of its two-point tries to earn the victory. A well-balanced attack saw four Banvit players score in double figures. Antonio Graves led the way with 14 points while Ibrahim Yildirim scored 13, Keith Simmons and Lance Williams 12 each. Oldenburg had big nights from center Aron Baynes and guard Rickey Paulding, with 21 points each plus 8 rebounds for the big man, but no other player reached double-digit scoring numbers.

Oldenburg head coach Predrag Krunic's men came out firing away from three-point territory, but missed 5 of 6 attemtps in the opening quarter. With Banvit going inside, it was a battle of styles, and Vladimir Golubovic was involved right off the bat with 4 quick points in the paint for the hosts. Simmons paced Banvit early with close range baskets and jumpers, while Paulding was the only player to score a triple in the opening quarter. The second quarter was a back-and-forth scrum, as both teams traded lead changes but neither could grab more than a three-point point difference through 17 minutes. Center Oliver Stevic was scoring consistently in the paint after offensive rebounds for Oldenburg, closing the gap to 27-26, but a 14-5 response by Banvit, with a triple among 5 points by guard Antonio Graves, left the Turkish hosts up 41-31 at the half.

Mindaugas Lukauskis got going after halftime with a jumper for Oldenburg. but But it was big man Baynes who carried the visitors with an ample repertoire of post moves in his trench battle with Lance Williams. Banvit kept plowing inside with Chuck Davis, although it was a pair of triples by Yildirim that pushed the lead to 51-43 score. Oldenburg tried to speed the pace up some at the end of the quarter following a Louis Campbell triple with his free throw on an unsportsmanlike foul to end the quarter 60-53. Banvit never lost focus, however, as the final quarter started off with a Yildirim triple, a two-pointer by Ermis and another three-pointer by Mutlu Akpinar. The 8-0 run was momentum changer even though Paulding answered with 5 straight points of his own on a triple and a layup. Golubovic got his first basket since the opening quarter, and then another Paulding triple and Robin Smeulders's first 2 points closed the gap to 70-64. With the hosts playing tough defense, only Paulding and Baynes scored baskets from then on: a triple by the guard and jumper by the center. Not enough, ultimately, against a Banvit squad that played solid throughout to keep the victory at home for its fans.

Head Coaches

ENE, ORHUN
Banvit BK
"It was a really important game for us. We were already aware that this win would ensure our survival in the group. They are a tough team. However we played efficient at clutch time. We also played good defense in the second quarter and forced them to take difficult shots. We will try to make it to the next round. "
KRUNIC, PREDRAG
EWE Baskets
"We knew that Banvit BK is a good team and expected a tough game. We could not play as tough as Banvit tonight. They made better decisions at the important moments of the game. In the second quarter they took a 12-point lead. We tried to come back, but we missed too many free throws and could not fight well. They also did not allow us to get easy points. "

GRAVES, ANTONIO
Banvit BK
"A week after we had a very difficult trip to Germany and a tough Turkish League game, we are very happy to win this game. We knew that the game was not going to be an easy game. Therefore we kept fighting till the end of the game. This group is one of the toughest groups in the Eurocup. Any team might win or lose on any given night. So we will look to reach the next round. "
SMEULDERS, ROBIN
EWE Baskets
"We could not answer their physical toughness tonight. It is hard to beat Banvit on their home court. They were well prepared for the game. They fight well and deserved the win tonight."
