THE TAKE

KK Bosna desperately needs a victory at home over Siauliai in Group A to remain in the hunt for the elimination round. Coach Jurij Zdovc's Bosna dropped to 2-5 with a home loss to Turk Telekom before the holiday break. The Bosnian team committed just seven turnovers and held Telekom's star Michael Wright to just 8 points. But Turk hit 42% (10-of-24) from long range while Bosna made just 4-of-21 (19%). Zdovc's starters struggled to just 31 points while center Lance Williams (20 points and 7 rebounds), small forward Quemont Greer (18 points) and shooting guard Goran Ikonic (11 points and 6 rebounds) all had great games off the bench wasted in defeat. Zdovc will have to find the right balance as Bosna sits in fifth place - one game behind both Siauliai and Alba Berlin. Siauliai meanwhile can guarantee at least a top four finish with a victory in Bosnia. Coach Robertas Kuncaitis's team improved to 3-4 with a comfortable win at home over Alba Berlin. The Lithuanian team only shot 45% from the floor but committed just 9 turnovers and held Berlin to just 33% shooting while winning the rebounding battle 39-23. Center Arturas Masiulis had his best game of the competition with seasons high in points (18), rebounds (7) and blocked shots (3). Power forward Antonio Grant added 17 points and small forward Donatas Zavackas added 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Siauliai is looking to sweep the series with Bosna after shooting 50% from the floor and holding Bosna to 3-of-16 (19%) from long range in its Week Three win at home. But Siauliai will have to finally win a game on the road as it has lost all three showdowns away.

KK Bosna kept alive its own hopes for reaching the elimination rounds from Group A with a 88-77 home victory against Siauliai on Wednesday that also made two teams from other groups happy. Bosna's victory raised its record to 3-5 while holding Siauliai to the same, tying both for fourth place in their group. The byproduct of the victory was that any team in the whole 54-competition with six victories will now reach the elimination rounds, which served to qualify Group G leader Gran Canaria and Group H leader BC Kyiv for the next round. Dzenan Rahimic paced Bosna with 16 points, while Edin Bavcic buried 4 of 7 three-pointers on his way to 14. Lance Williams and Bryan Bailey added 13 points each for the winners. Siauliai got 20 points each from Antonio Grant and 19 from Donatas Zavackas, while Saulius Kuzminskas chipped in 10.

Bosna started with a 5-0 lead on Goran Ikonic's three-pointer and soon was up 13-5 on baskets by Dzenan Rahimic and another long-range strike by Edin Bavcic. Siauliai regrouped quickly, however, with Marius Prekevicius sparking a 0-9 go-ahead run from downtown on the way to a 19-19 tie after one quarter. It stayed close, even after Quemont Greer boosted Bosna back in front by 25-20 early in the second quarter. Siauliai tied again at 27-27 before five different Bosna scorers filled a 10-0 run for the home fans. Siauliai didn't wilt, however, as Jose Olivero canned a triple and Donatas Zavackas a pair in the final minute, including one on the buzzer that left a 40-38 scorebard at halftime. Bosna used defense and another Bavcic triple to rebuild a 46-38 advantage. This time, Siauliai had trouble boundcing back. The lead hit 50-40 on free throws by Bryan Bailey and 58-47 on his basket late in the quarter. But there was still time for Antonio Grant and Prekevicius to combine on 8 points and keep Siauliai as close as 64-58 after 30 minutes. Bosna kept Siauliai at a distance early in the final quarter as Muhamed Pasalic and Suad Sehovic made three-pointers for a 74-61 lead. Grant, Kuzminskas and Gediminas Maceina kept knocking at the door of a comeback for Siauliai, trimming the difference to 83-76 before points dried up for both teams in the next-to-last minute. Bavcic ended the drought with his fourth three-pointer, ending all doubt that Bosna lives to fight another day.
