THE TAKE

BK Banvit of Turkey hosts still-winless Ukrainian side Azovmash Mariupol in Week 3. Banvit is the second best team overall in scoring, with 89.5 points per game and a two-point accuracy rate of 61.9%. It has a very balanced offense, with four scorers averaging in double figures. Week 2 co-MVP Sammy Mejia leads the way with 18.5 points per game. Azovmash has suffered two close defeats, is struggling from the foul line and is looking for a big road win to stay on track. Banvit point guard Kalin Lucas has played many minutes and will face Lynn Greer, who nailed just 4 points against Valencia last week, but is nonetheless the leader of Azovmash. Ivan Paunic will have a tough night facing Mejia, a scoring ace with great versatility. Banvit has size and scoring ability close to the basket, with starters Chuck Davis and Vladimir Stimac combining for 37 points and 16 rebounds per game. Veteran Kenan Bajramovic comes off the bench to help them. Azovmash’s frontcourt of Tadija Dragicevic, Miroslav Raduljica and Oleksiy Pecherov need a big performance in order to prevail.

Banvit BK Bandirma
"As I mentioned before, there is no easy game in this group. Azovmash is also a very experienced team who has the ability to win every game in the group. We are going to play two games in a row against each other. I think these two games will mostly determine ranking in the group."

"We won a very important game against Beşiktaş in the Turkish League. We are increasingly playing better every day. So we want to keep this rhythm against Azovmash too. Very tough games on the way, but I hope we will win them all."

Kalin Lucas hit a jumper and Mejia struck from downtown. Ivan Paunic finished a three-chance Azovmash offense with a layup that Davis bettered with a triple. A close basket by Stimac forced the guests to call timeout at 18-9. Dragicevic nailed a triple and Paunic scored again but Lucas, Mejia and Davis combined for all points in a 9-1 run that made it a double-digit game, 27-15. Mejia kept scoring but Kyryl Natyazhko and Dragicevic kept Azovmash within 31-21 after 10 minutes. Back-to-back triples by Mejia broke the game open, 37-21, early in the second quarter. Izzet Turkylmaz dunked it but Dragicevic followed free throws with a three-pointer for a 39-26 Azovmash deficit. Safak Edge joined the three-point shootout and a layup-plus-foul by Stimac boosted the hosts' lead to 45-28. Lynn Greer, Harris and Paunic stepped up for the guests but free throws by Davis made it a 14-point game, 49-35. Harris kept pacing Azovmash but Mejia, Davis and Stimac allowed Banvit to boost its lead to 58-42 at halftime.

Stimac scored down low after the break and Veyseloglu matched Pecherov's put-back basket with a layup for a 62-44 score. Harris struck from downtown but Mejia kept pacing the hosts with a layup and Stimac added a three-point play to boost Banvit's lead to 67-48. Azovmash improved its defense and a three-point play by Greer sparked a 0-7 run that Harris capped with consecutive baskets to give the guests some hope at 67-55. Davis rescued Banvit with a close basket but Greer kept Azovmash within 70-58. Davis and Turkylmaz made free throws and Edge hit a jumper but Dragicevic and Ihor Zaytsev gave Azovmash hope, 76-64, after 30 minutes. Stimac stepped up with consecutive baskets early in the fourth quarter. Harris provided a highlight with a dunk and Pecherov added 5 quick points but Banvit kept running its offense through an unstoppable Stimac. Pecherov kept trying to change things with a put-back basket and Raduljica scored down low but free throws by Mejia kept Banvit way ahead, 89-75, with over 4 minutes left. Azovmash kept trying but Banvit stayed focused and managed to cruise to a pivotal home win.

"Congratulations to Azovmash for the character they showed, especially in the second half. I am proud of my team being aware of the importance of the game. We have been playing good lately, so in this game too we started really good on the both ends of the court. We struggled a little in the second half, but my players controlled the game pretty well. We will play against each other in a week. It is also going to be very tough game."
KESAR, ALEKSANDAR
BC Azovmash Mariupol
"First of all, congratulations to Banvit. They deserved to win the game. We could not set up a good defense in the first and second quarters. So Banvit took the advantage of that. Then we could not catch them in the second half, even though we played better than in the first half. We lost 5 three-pointers in last two minutes and they made free throws when we were in the bonus. Banvit is a good organization in sense of investing in young players. They have a good facility here. This is important for European basketball. "

DRAGICEVIC, TADIJA
BC Azovmash Mariupol
"It was a really tough game. Banvit took the advantage in the first half by making very tough shots. We fought and showed character in the second half, but we could not catch up to them. We will play them next week and try to win that game to stay in the race."
