Game Leaders

Niziol sank a three-pointer and went 3-of-3 from the free-throw line for an 8-4 Slask lead. Jarrell Eddie responded from behind the arc, but Dusan Miletic scored his first points of the night to make it 10-7. Niziol threw down an impressive slam and converted from the line to take his scoring tally to 11 points in less than 7 minutes, as Slask headed into the second quarter ahead 21-15.
Artsiom Parakhouski dominated in the paint and netted 6 points off the bench to extend Slask’s lead to 29-22. Golebiowski responded to a Stipanovic basket with a layup to maintain a 7-point lead and force Cluj to call a timeout. The visitors bounced back, as Stipanovic scored 4 straight points before getting some rest and Seeley drilled a tough triple to get Cluj within 36-33 at halftime.

Guzman slams home a powerful dunk! Magic Moment
Seeley tied the game from behind the arc, but Miletic bagged 4 points and Hassani Gravett sank a three for a 43-36 Slask lead. The hosts upped their game and Saulius Kulvietis made two straight triples to stretch the difference to 56-41. Cluj managed to stay in the game, with Seeley scoring twice from downtown to cut the deficit to 56-48 heading into the last quarter.
Mateusz Zebski and Golebiowski scored a basket each for a 64-56 Slask lead, but Cluj paid for its poor shooting heading into crunch time, despite securing a series of second-chance opportunities through offensive rebounds. Slask didn’t put the game to bed and Seeley made two straight triples to get the guests within 67-66. Stipanovic drew an offensive foul at the other end and Jarrell Eddie made a huge fadeaway jump shot to put Cluj ahead 67-68 with 0:25 left on the clock. Then, Gravett made a turnover and Jones went 2-of-2 from the line to seal an enormous comeback victory for the visitors.
