Eurocup
Regular Season Round 9: Asseco Arka - ALBA 64-76
Date: December 11, 2018
Not a big story in a game in Gdynia where 6th ranked Polish Asseco Arka (1-8) was defeated by second ranked German ALBA Berlin (7-2) 76-64 on Tuesday. The game was mostly controlled by ALBA Berlin. Asseco Arka was better in third quarter 19-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. ALBA Berlin forced 22 Asseco Arka turnovers and outrebounded them 43-31 including a 18-6 advantage in offensive rebounds. ALBA Berlin looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. American forward Luke Sikma (202-89, college: Portland) stepped up and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 steals for the winners and swingman Niels Giffey (200-91, college: Connecticut) chipped in 18 points and 5 rebounds. The best for the losing side was Lithuanian Deividas Dulkys (195-88, college: Florida St.) with 22 points and American center Robert Upshaw (213-94, college: Washington) scored 9 points and 11 rebounds. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. ALBA Berlin maintains second place in Group B with 7-2 record despite having the same number of points like the leader Monaco. Asseco Arka lost third consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with eight games lost. ALBA Berlin will face league's leader Lokomotiv in Krasnodar in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Asseco Arka will play on the road against Limoges CSP Elite (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
