THE TAKE

Kalise Gran Canaria hopes to use its home-court advantage as it hosts a crucial battle of 1-1 teams in Group E. Head coach Salva Maldonado's team is 23-2 in this competition at home over the past five seasons. And victory No. 23 came last week with a 94-83 win over Lietuvos Rytas to bring all four teams in the group to a 1-1 record. Gran Canaria shot 51% from the field, including 9 of 26 (35%) from long range, and forced 15 L. Rytas turnovers compared to just 12 for Maldonado's men. Gran Canaria allowed L. Rytas to shoot 51% from the floor as well, but just 4 of 17 (24%) from beyond the arc. Maldonado got a huge effort from center Joel Freeland with 20 points and 6 rebounds, while guard Carl English added 19 points off the bench. Reserve forward Melvin Sanders scored 17 points and guard Marcus Norris chipped in 10 points and 5 of the team's 20 assists. Maldonado continues to find the right mix of supporting cast - and he knows any of his bench players can be the help he is looking for. And that makes Gran Canaria such a tough team. Asvel Basket meanwhile hopes to solve Gran Canaria after beating Azovmash Mariupol 85-83 at home to improve to 1-1. Head coach Vincent Collet's French side shot an impressive 54% from the field and committed just 11 turnovers while holding Azovmash to 48% for the game. Collet's team got lucky in that Azovmash made just 16 of 25 (64%) free throws in a 2-point loss. Collet does not have deep team, only sending in eight players. Forward Amara Sy led the way with 24 points, while forward Chevon Troutman had 22 points and 8 rebounds off the bench. Reserve guard J.R. Reynolds added 14 points and 8 assists as the only other player in double figures. Collet got timely baskets from his other players and it proved enough against Azovmash. But Asvel will need to step up its game at Gran Canaria if it hopes to grab a rare victory on the islands.

Players

Amara Sy - Asvel BasketAsvel Basket picked up an important road win in Group E by edging Gran Canaria 78-80 in overtime on an Amara Sy tip-in in the closing seconds. The visitors led for much of the game before an 11-2 charge late in the fourth quarter put Gran Canaria on top. Clutch plays by Mario Fernandez gave the hosts a 3-point lead, however J.R. Reynolds rescued Asvel with a triple to tie the game at 69-69 and force overtime. In the extra period, Ben Dewar stepped up to practically seal the win late for Asvel, but Carl English tied the game. However there was time for one last Asvel shot and Sy arrived in time to correct Reynolds miss and win the game. Asvel improved to 2-1 and is tied for the group lead with Azovmash. Gran Canaria dropped to 1-2 and will look to avenge its loss when it faces Asvel next week in France. Chevy Troutman paced Asvel with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Dewar added 15 and 7. Sy finished with 13 points, Laurent Foirest scored 11 and Reynolds had 11 and 5 assists. Melvin Sanders led the hosts with 19 points, Joel Freeland had 14 on perfect shooting, Fernandez added 12, Jim Moran 11 and James Augustine recorded 11 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.

Marcus Norris got to the line to score the game’s first points before Troutman got Asvel on the board. A pair of baskets by Freeland put the hosts up 6-4 before Troutman responded with a triple as the lead started to sway from side to side. But after Augustine put Gran Canaria ahead 10-9, Ali Traore started and finished a 2-12 Asvel charge that put the visitors ahead 12-22 after 10 minutes. An Eric Campbell basket gave Asvel twice as many points as the hosts at the start of the second quarter. And Foirest and Troutman continued to put it on en rote to a stunning 16-35 lead that left the crowd silent. Sanders hit a triple to awake the hosts and Freeland would add four more buckets to narrow the gap to 27-38 by halftime.

The two teams traded baskets as the third period got underway. Moran’s hot shooting gave Gran Canaria hope, but Dewar was equal to the task for Asvel. However back-to-back triples from Moran and Sanders turned a double-digit deficit into 47-51 before Foirest gave the visitors breathing room at 47-53 after three periods. Foirest and Sy continued to fend the home team off in the fourth. Sanders cut the gap to 54-57 only for Foirest to fire one in from behind the arc. And a Reynolds basket on the offensive glass put the visitors back in control. But a Fernandez triple brought Gran Canaria back to life and Sanders made it 61-64 from the line. Moran then missed a three that would have tied it, but Asvel failed to capitalize and on the next trip down the floor Fernandez drew a foul and trimmed the gap to 1. And then Sitapha Savane continued the march with 2 free throws to give the hosts their first lead since the opening period. Savane and Augustine came up with a pair of big blocks on a defensive standoff, but Sy managed to score soon after to put Asvel up 65-66. Fernandez answered from the line and then stole the ball from Dewar for a layup and a 69-66 lead. However Reynolds tied the game with a triple and sent the game to overtime.

Another Fernandez steal and drawn foul led to the first 2 points of the extra period, but Dewar answered back with a triple. Fernandez went to the line again and tied the score at 72-72. Sanders and Troutman traded baskets as the game stayed tied. Dewar hit a clutch basket on the offensive glass and Moran missed at the other end. Forced to foul, the hosts sent Dewar to the line and he made a pair of free throws. But after an English layup, Reynolds turned the ball over and English drew a foul and tied the game at 78-78 from the line. But there was just enough time for Asvel to shoot once more and even though Reynolds missed, Sy was there to correct it and give Asvel a rare win on the Canary Islands.

"It was an intense match, with two distinct parts. In the first we were surprised and we were apathetic. We did not know how to play. It was quite the opposite in the second half. I think we played very well. Despite going behind on the scoreboard, we had patience to get closer and fight back. We could have won at the end of regulation, but did not. We were able to take it into overtime, but in the end they scored and we lost for the second time in Europe. We need to add a win on the road. We play next Tuesday in France and we’ll see if we can win. It's a very competitive group and not winning today forces us to win outside. We lost two games in overtime by 2 points."
COLLET, VINCENT
Asvel Basket
"We achieved a very important victory. With this victory we take a giant step to continue competing in the Eurocup. We've played a good match and we look forward to playing next Tuesday in our stadium. The two teams fought to the end and it could have been a victory for anyone, but I am quite satisfied that it fell on our part."
