THE STAKES

Spartak St. Petersburg and Benetton are already qualified in first and second place, respectively. While this game will have no effect on their group position, it will still play a key role psychologically as they head to the next round.

THE TAKE

Spartak is a very deep team, led by Patrick Beverley, whose matchup with young Italian point guard Andrea De Nicolao will be one to watch. The key question is whether or not Benetton’s big men will be able to handle Mavrokefalides, Zupa and Kashirov.

Vladimir Dragicevic - Spartak St. Petersburg (photo Spartak SPB)Spartak St. Petersburg completed its Eurocup regular season campaign unbeaten in Group G after downing Benetton Treviso 97-77.

Jobey Thomas bagged 22 points on 6-for-6 shooting from downtown, Sani Becirovic chipped in 16 and Massimo Bulleri nailed 13 for Benetton. A 16-5 run early in the second quarter gave a 45-28 margin to Spartak, but the visitors answered close to halftime with a 0-11 run to finish 47-39 at halftime. A 21-8 run to open the second half made it a 21-point game and Spartak never looked back.

Thomas scored 5 points in a row to push Benetton to a 2-5 start before Valery Likhodey answered to make it 10-5. Gino Cuccarolo completed a three-point-play to get within 10-8 at the midway point of the quarter. Mavrokefalides and Keyru nailed back-to-back jumpers to complete a 12-3 run for a 14-8 lead. Becirovic scored in the open court for the guests, but Mavrokefalieds remained hot with two more baskets before big man Cuccarolo grabbed an offensive board to add 2 points for Benetton. Janis Strelnieks hit a deep three, Thomas scored off the pick and Zupan fixed the scoreboard at 23-14 for Spartak at the end of the first quarter. A long distance shot of veteran guard Bulleri put Benetton closer at 23-18, however Dragicevic hit a jumper. Becirovic again from downtown made it 25-21. Dragicevic assisted by Zupan in a high-low play gave another comfortable 34-23 margin to the Russian side. Andrea De Nicolao and Zupan exchanged three pointers before Anatoly Kashirov scored after pulling down an offensive board and Keyru from beyond the arc established the best difference so far, 45-28. De Nicolao capped, from downtown, an 11-0 run for the visitors to clim within 45-39 with 52 seconds left, before Kashirov scored in the post for the final 47-39 for the home team at halftime.

Mavrokefalides and Kashirov started on fire the third quarter to increase the cushion to 54-40. Becirovc hit back from mid range, but the Greek big man remained unstoppable for Benetton and Spartak got a 59-42 margin when he scored assisted by Beverley. Thomas and Aleksey Zozoulin scored triples and back-to-back jumpers by Dragicevic gave a margin over 20 to Spartak. Thomas did not give up scoring again from beyond the arc, copied by teammate Vlad Moldoveanu for the 70-53, but off the Spartak bench came Pavel Antipov to score 5 in a row fixing the final 77-58 after 30 minutes. Jakub Wojciechowski dunked the ball for the 79-63, while Keyru scored from mid range, and a Beverley jam made it 85-63. Zupan from threepoint land increased the margin to 88-65. Pavlin Ivanov of Benetton scored to finish the break and go on 88-72. Zozoulin dunked for the 95-74 and Thomas scored from long distance for the final 97-77.

Head Coaches

ZDOVC, JURE
Spartak St. Petersburg
"Today we wanted to make everybody happy. The victory made fans happy. Our main players were on the court for being in shape. Our bench players got more time. Players tried to show some dunks, interesting assists and steals. It’s basketball and they need sometimes to do this for fans and for themselves. Now we think about the game in the Russian BEKO PBL championships for the time being."
DJORDJEVIC, ALEKSANDAR
Benetton Basket
"We lost to a better team. It’s obvious Spartak is the best team in our group. For us it was very difficult physically to play against this team. And it’s a great result for us to qualify for the Last 16. We'll try to do our best in the next round and try to go ahead. We signed one new player and now we are going to sign one more. We expect them to make our roster deeper and give more energy in our game. We brought some new players in St. Petersburg. I can’t say that I’m satisfied with their game. And I hope they aren't either. But it’s very difficult to play on such level without experience and they need to have such experience."

Players

ANTIPOV, PAVEL
Spartak St. Petersburg
"It’s very pleasant for us to win in the last game of the first round of the Eurocup. Also it’s very good to win before the short holidays. Though before we play one game in Russian BEKO PBL championships now and we can’t relax. Before the game today the coach said that every player would get time on the court so we tried to do our best and to show a good game. The fans asked us to make 100 points. We say sorry that we couldn’t do this."
IVANOV, PAVLIN
Benetton Basket
"I think we could play better but we tried to do our best. Spartak is a very good team which shows intensive game with good offense and defense. Now we have to prepare for the next games."
