THE TAKE

Deutsche Bank Skyliners goes for its first ULEB Cup victory in Group D, welcoming to Germany the French side SLUC Nancy. Coach Murat Didin's Skyliners team has been ravaged by injuries and he was forced to play three of his players 39 minutes in losing last week at Khimki. The Frankfurt club did a good job considering it was missing three starters (point guard Pascal Roller, shooting guard Jimmy McKinney and small forward Koko Archibong) as well as power forward Antonio Meeking. Small forward Stefano Garris scored 17 points in his first start of the season - he had scored zero points in 15 minutes in the first two games. And power forward Ilian Evtimov also hit for 17 points off the bench. All told, Didin's team shot 52% but it just did not have the legs to defend hard enough in the fourth against Khimki, forcing just nine turnovers in the game. None of the injured players appeared for Skyliners over the weekend in domestic action, and Didin will have to go again with a short rotation. French side SLUC Nancy notched its first victory of the campaign with a surprisingly convincing 23-point win at home over Azovmash Mariupol. Coach Jean-Luc Monschau's team held Azovmash to 34% shooting and forced 16 turnovers in improving to 1-2. Small forward Jeff Greer came off the bench to score 20 points while his brother, shooting guard Ricardo Greer had 16 points, four rebounds and six assists. Monschau's team shot 50% from the floor and four players totaled in double figures. Another balanced effort like that could allow Monschau's team to even its record.

Players

SLUC Nancy handed Deutsche Bank Skyliners another heartbreaking home loss in Group D, 83-84 on Tuesday night in front of 2,410 fans in Frankfurt, Germany. Nancy improved to 2-2 and has sole possession of third place in the group standings, while the Skyliners fell to 0-4. The game went back and forth as late as the fourth quarter, but after Dominik Bahiense de Mello fouled out, Nancy was able to stop Derrick Allen, while Terence Parker and Zabian Dowdell scored clutch points. Ricardo Greer led five Nancy scorers in double digits with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Jeff Greer and Cyril Julian added 11 each and Dowdell and Mike Bauer had 10 apiece. Allen was the best man on court with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, de Mello posted 17 points on 5-of-5 three-point shooting and Elian Evitmov also scored 17.

Nancy started out hot on offense and led 7-14 after four minutes until Allen snapped it with two successful free-throws that started a 7-0 run for the Skyliners to tie the score at 14-14. Soon it was raining triples, as both teams scored three long distance shots each, with Jeff Greer and de Mello getting two apiece as the first quarter ended with the visitors ahead 25-29. De Mello kept his hot hand in the second quarter with his fourth consecutive triple for a 35-33 Skyliners lead. De Mello had one more in the tank as the hosts took control and led 51-43 at the half. The third quarter was marked by fierce defense on both sides. Nancy had the better start but the Skyliners maintained their lead. Amadou Aboubacar scored 5 consecutive points for Nancy to start a 0-9 run and close the gap to 63-62. Continuous turnovers by the hosts and successful attacks by the guests had the scoreboard showing 67-68 after 30 minutes. Aboubacar continued to be a presence on offense, scoring off put-backs and limiting Allen on defense, as the lead switched sides. Alex King scored a rare three-pointer as the shot clock expired, bringing the crowd to its feet, but Parker answered in the same manner for the visitors. However it was Dowdell who scored twice from the charity stripe with 1:14 left to go, enough for Nancy to escape with a 83-84 road win.

Head Coaches

DIDIN, MURAT
D. Bank Skyliners
"My compliments go to Dominik Bahiense de Mello, who hustled very well despite being injured. We are in the toughest group in the ULEB Cup, together with league leaders from all over Europe. Alex King didn't see Derrick Allen having a mismatch under the basket. You can't buy experience. Well, you can but at a high price. We have to transfer such an experience into our domestic league play."
MONSCHAU, JEAN-LUC
SLUC Nancy
"Congratulations to coach Didin and his team for a great game. We were on the lucky side today. They executed well on offense, bringing their shooters in good positions. We came back quite quickly in the third quarter, so both teams had their chances to win this game. This victory will put us in a better position to qualify for the next round."
DOWDELL, ZABIAN
SLUC Nancy
"We got lucky by them not hitting the last shot. Michael Bauer and Cyril Julian didn’t play much in the second half due to foul trouble but we won the game on defense in the second half. We are definitely looking for an exciting game back home against the Skyliners."
