The three-pointers were falling early and often as Andrews and David Dudzinski hit for the guests before AJ Slaughter and John Shurna matched them for Gran Canaria. After Bitim’s triple made it 8-13, Shurna added another for the hosts to pull even 13-13. The teams kept striking from deep with Needham and Dudzinski draining triples for Bursaspor and Ennis made two from downtown. Dudzinski and Ennis both connected yet again and Bursaspor led 24-26 after 10 minutes.

The long ball barrage continued early in the second quarter with Miquel Salvo and John Holland each connecting from deep. Salvo took over the game for Gran Canaria with 9 straight points before Pustovyi came on and scored 4 points and put the hosts up 38-33. Bitim converted a three-point play for Bursaspor, but Pustovyi added 6 more points and a pair of Slaughter triples had Gran Canaria ahead 52-40. The score was 52-42 at halftime.

Bursaspor opened the second half with the first 5 points, including an Andrews triple. Needham followed later with a three-pointer and Dudzinski’s and-one had the visitors within 56-55. Gran Canaria buckled down in the final 3 minutes of the quarter with a 13-3 run including 5 points from Andrew Albicy to lead 71-60 after 30 minutes.

After Holland started the final frame, Albicy hit a triple and Pustovyi extended the advantage to 76-62.
