Lauvergne completes alley-oop! Motorola Magic Moment
Hermannsson opened the second half with the first 5 points including the first of five straight threes in the game - two each by the Icelandic point guard and ASVEL’s playmaker Lee to make it 44-45. It was 46-47 when Hermannsson took over with 9 straight points for 17 points in the quarter and a 60-49 ALBA lead. And the hosts were ahead 64-54 after 30 minutes.
ASVEL tried to get back into the game but ALBA had an answer each time. A Sako putback had ASVEL within 71-63 only to see 5 points from Wetzell leave the home side ahead 76-64. The visitors did not give up and David Lighty had two triples and a Sako layin left ASVEL within 79-76 with 76 seconds to go. Louis Olinde scored for ALBA but Lee and Maledon made free throws to trim it to 81-79 with 26 seconds remaining. Tim Schneider stepped up with 2 free throws - his first attempts of the season - and ALBA led 83-79 with 16 seconds left to secure the win.
