Kresmir Loncar and Vitaly Fridzon scored 17 points apiece to lead the winners. Aris BSA 2003 topped Asvel Basket 77-60 for its first victory of the Last 16. Ronald Davis scored 19 and Dan Mavraides 18 to lead the winning squad. Spartak St. Petersburg defeated Krka Novo Mesto 68-81 on the road to stay unbeaten in Group K.

Lance Williams scored 21 and Baris Ermis turned in a spectacular all-around performance with 9 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals. In Group L, Benetton Basket edged Lokomotiv Kuban 70-71 on the road on Jobey Thomas’s game-winning three-pointer with 4 seconds left. Thomas led the winners with 22 points on 4-of- 8 shooting from downtown. The loss was the hosts’ first of the Last 16. Later Lietuvos Rytas outdueled Alba Berlin 86-75 to join Benetton and Lokomotiv in a three-way tie for first place with 2-1 records. While helped by clutch three-point shooting, the hosts did most of their damage in the paint by outrebounding Alba 38-19. Aleksandar Rasic led the winners with 16 points. Now the focus shirts to next week’s games, after which as many as four teams could celebrate berths in the Eurocup Quarterfinals!
