Jerian Grant produced his finest game yet for Turk Telekom Ankara to lead the team to a 72-80 road win at Dolomiti Energia Trento on Tuesday. His 26 points were a personal best and his 10-for-10 free throw shooting was just 1 off the club record. And on this night, his team needed all of it.
Starting center Tyrique Jones came into the game second to Grant in PIR on the team – and seventh in the EuroCup – in average PIR with 18.4, was ejected in the second quarter and finished without any points in 10:12 minutes on the floor. The team’s leading scorer, Axel Boutielle, contributed 12 points, but did so with subpar shooting; he made 2 of 5 two-pointers and 2 of 7 threes. The team’s next-best scorer, Tony Taylor, finished with 7 points after making 1 of 3 two-pointer and 1 of 4 threes.
