Prometey Slobozhanske came up with a rare hot-shooting night from the outside in racing past Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana 94-68 thanks in large part to DJ Stephens.
The Prometey forward Stephens drained 6 of 9 triples in scoring a game-high 28 points. The American came into the game shooting just 33.3% from long range although he had raised his efficiency while hitting 7 of 15 triples in his previous two games.
Prometey as a team has struggled from the outside this season. Despite having the second-best offense with 87.0 points per game, the Ukrainian side had made just 30.6% of its three-point attempts, ranking 18th in the EuroCup. But Prometey connected on 13 of 31 three-pointers for 41.9% against Cedevita.
Prometey's long-range prowess may also have been a result of the Cedevita defense, which came into the contest ranked last in PIR (102.6), opponents scoring (89.8) and turnovers forced (11.8), as well 19th in opponents’ three-point shooting (39.2%).
