THE TAKE

Benetton Tamoil looks to save its ULEB Cup season as it hosts ASK Riga in a game with plenty of meaning in Group H. Coach Oktay Mahmudi's Italians led by 13 points and dominated the first half against Artland Dragons only to lose in the final stages and fall to 1-3. Power forward Mario Austin, small forward Matteo Soragna and shooting guard Reece Gaines each scored 18 points for Treviso, but no other Italian player hit for more than nine points. And the Artland backcourt did a good job stopping Benetton point guard Lionel Chalmers, who scored just six points (10 below his average coming into the game); and center Nana Mensah-Bonsu, who had just two points (nine below his average). Mahmudi's team was especially effective from long range, hitting 12-of-23 (52%) three-pointers. But the Germans dominated the paint, holding Treviso to 44% shooting inside the arc and out-rebounded the Italians 33-17. With four teams at either 2-2 or 1-3 in Group H, everything is up for grabs. And Mahmudi's troops know that a victory at home leaves them in the running for the elimination round despite all the struggles they have had so far. ASK Riga evened its record at 2-2 with a convincing 20-point victory at home over Pau-Orthez. Small forward Dwayne Broyles and reserve center Raitis Grafs both scored 14 points in leading five players in double figures. And power forward Aerick Sanders added nine points and 10 rebounds. Coach Ramunas Butautas's team was especially solid defensively, holding the French to just 39% shooting from the field and forcing 17 turnovers. ASK gave up just eight points in the first quarter and set the tone for the rest of the game. With both teams knowing what's on the line, expect a high-intensity battle which could be decided by Treviso's three-point shooters.

"At the middle of the third quarter, we trailed 30-42 and the game that was escaping. We used a timeout and I told the players that defense, and playing with intensity and enthusiasm are what will turn the game around. We must learn from this lesson. If we do not play intense, we are not a competitive squad. We cannot allow us to have all these ups and downs like in the first 25 minutes. We have only one road to follow, that one of the intensity and the character that we have demonstrated today. The players must understand how important it is to play with the maximum intensity."
