THE TAKE

Antwerp Giants can climb into a tie for fourth place in Group E as it plays at home against Benetton Fribourg. Coach Sven Van Camp's Antwerp dropped to 1-4 after losing convincingly at Triumph Lyubertsy. Van Camp's Belgian side allowed Triumph to shoot 58% from the floor including 10-of-21 (48%) from long range. And Antwerp hit just 39% from the field and committed 19 turnovers. Small forward Brandon Gay led Giants with 14 points while small forward David Toya and power forward Ian Hanavan combined for 22 points off the bench. But Van Camp's team just did not have enough punch. It didn't help that playmaker Ryan Sears was held to 3 points - 13 points under his average. Still, Antwerp will have an additional motivation of playing at home and hoping to avenge the Week One overtime loss at Fribourg. Coach Damien Leyrolles's Fribourg team meanwhile hopes to pull into a tie for second place after it improved to 3-2 thanks to a strong road victory at Hapoel Galil Elyon. Leyrolles's defense held the Israeli team to just 35% from the floor, proving especially tough on the perimeter where Galil Elyon made just 3-of-16 (19%). Leyrolles got plenty of balance from his team as all five starters and one bench player scored in double figures - led by point guard Pascal Perrier-David's triple-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Shooting guard Tresor Quidome scored a team-high 20 points, reserve small forward Douglas Tshomba chipped in 12 points and center Ken Johnson collected 14 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. Leyrolles's team is on a roll and a third straight victory would go a long way to helping the Swiss club to reach the elimination round.

Thomas Lamont scored 5 points during a 9-0 run in the closing minutes that broke the game open for Antwerp. Brandon Gay paced the winners with 15 points while Yves Dupont grabbed 11 rebounds and dished 5 assists for Antwerp. Pascal Perrier-David, who had a triple-double against Hapoel Galil Elyon last week, led olympic Fribourg with 11 points. Douglas Tshomba added 10 while Ken Johnson pulled down 12 boards for the guests. Three-pointers by Tshomba and Oliver Vogt put Fribourg ahead while free throws by David Esterkamp boosted the guests' lead to 24-33 at halftime. An 11-2 run that Kris Sergeant capped with a triple allowed the Giants to get a 40-39 edge. Fribourg was limited to just 3 points in the last 4 minutes, while Gay, Lamot and Ryan Sears allowed the hosts to seal an important win.

Pascal Perrier-David - Benetton FribourgTresore Quidone got Fribourg started with a pair of free throws, but Antwerp came out firing and back-to-back three-pointers from Gay and Aleksander Lichodzijewski and another Gay basket quickly made it 8-2. Quidone scored and then set up David Esterkamp as the visitors remained close. Johnson capped a 0-8 Fribourg run to tie the game and it remained knotted at 14-14 after 10 minutes. Perrier-David drilled back-to-back threes early in the second period to give Fribourg a 17-22 advantage. The visitors remained red hot from downtown, as Tshomba and Oliver Vogt also connected to help Fribourg to a 24-33 halftime lead. Esterkamp put Fribourg up 12 with a three to open the second half, but Gay answered in style, igniting an 11-1 charge that carried Antwerp back. Kris Sergeant hit a triple to put the hosts on top 40-39 and Antwerp kept a 1-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. With the tension growing, the lead changed hands four times in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter before Sergeant made it 47-45 with a triple. Both teams seemed to hit the wall energy-wise as the pace dropped and no one scored fro three minutes. Quidone then tied it from the line, but Thomas Lamont arrived on the scene to score 5 during a 9-0 run that earned Antwerp the victory.
