THE TAKE

As many teams this time of year, Hanzevast Capitals is playing for big-game experience as it hosts BC Hemofarm Stada in Group C. Coach Josep Claros's Hanzevast dropped to 1-7 last week after losing at home to Akasvayu Girona. The Dutch club shot just 42% and allowed Girona to hit 61% of its shots. But Capitals did force 22 Akasvayu turnovers - though it was also out-rebounded 35-25. Shooting guard Kevin Melson poured in 29 points and had 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals. Playmaker Alton Mason collected 17 points, 4 assists and 6 steals, and big man Pavel Englicky chipped in 14 points in a losing effort. Claros's team has gotten plenty of lessons thus far, but it hopes to give its fans one more home victory to celebrate before departing the competition. Hemofarm meanwhile locked up a spot in the next round after beating Asesoft on the road to improve to 6-2 and stay in the running for first place in Group C. Coach Miroslav Nikolic's Hemofarm was out-rebounded 36-21 but shot 54% from the floor while holding Asesoft to just 40% for the game. Nikolic may be concerned about his team making just 13-of-24 free throws (54%) though Asesoft made just 10-of-21 (48%) from the stripe. Hemofarm is looking to repeat its fine showing from Week Four when it shot 66% from the floor and out-rebounded Hanzevast 33-21 though Nikolic's team did commit 16 turnovers and forced only 7 by Hanzevast. Power forward Vladan Vukosavljevic led all scorers with 18 points off the bench while playmaker Miljan Pavkovic and shooting guard Rawle Marshall both had 17 points and reserve shooting guard Nebojsa Joksimovic chipped in 16 points. With a tough game next week at home against Galatasaray, the last thing Hemofarm wants this week is an upset on the road.

Alton Mason - Hanzevast Capitals The Hanzevast Capitals recorded just their second win of the season by upsetting Hemofarm Stada Vrsac 94-85 on Tuesday in the Netherlands. The loss knocked Hemofarm from first place in Group C and ended the club’s chances of taking a top seed in the ULEB Cup elimination rounds draw. The hosts used a 17-0 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters to take a huge lead, which Hemofarm couldn’t overcome. Alton Mason scored a season-high 19 to pace the winners, while Dwayne Archbold and Rogier Jansen added 16 points apiece, Kevin Melson had 14 and Pavel Englicky posted 12 points and 9 rebounds. Rawle Marshall and Goran Jagodnik scored 20 each, Nebojsa Joksimovic added 13 and Miljan Pavkovic had 11 in defeat.

The game got off to a fast pace as Joksimovic and Jagodnik made it 0-4 before a Archbold triple put the hosts on top. Archbold and Mason paced the Capitals’ attack as the host went up 12-6. Jagodnik kept Hemofarm in the picture, but a Guido Grunheid triple made it 22-13 and another Archbold bomb made it a 10-point game before Petar Despotovic’s three ended the first period with the hosts up 27-20. Another Mason triple gave Hanzevast confidence, but that lasted shortly as Boris Savovic started and capped a 0-10 run to suddenly give Hemofarm a 32-33 lead. Jansen’s three-point play put the hosts back on top and another three-point play from Melson made it 38-35, but Hemofarm was nor more aggressive. Marshall scored 6 straight points and despite a Melson triple, the visitors went to halftime up 43-46. Marshall kept the visitors in control in the early minutes of the third period, however a Jansen triple and Melson free throws soon tied the score at 56-56. Englicky gave the Capitals their first lead in the half at 60-59 and the hosts proceeded to finish the period on a 7-0 run for a 68-61 lead after 30 minutes. Englicky then began the fourth quarter with a triple and Jansen added another as the run grew to 17 points and put Hanzevast in control for good. The lead reached 19 before Jagodnik, Miljan Pavkovic and Joksimovic made it a game again at 86-80. But baskets by Mason and Raoul Heinen made it a 10-point game once more and the hosts held on in the final minutes.
