Dreamland Gran Canaria broke a three-game losing streak in Group B by topping 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys 84-92 on the road on Wednesday. Sharing the ball better than its opponent was arguably the biggest key to this win.
The defending EuroCup champions finished the game with 27 assists and 11 turnovers. That means that head coach Jaka Lakovic's team dished 2.45 assists per each turnover. On the other hand, Lietkabelis struggled to circulate the ball as Gran Canaria's defense forced the hosts to a lot of one-on-one situations. The hosts ended up with more turnovers (15) than assists (13) in the game.
Everybody was dishing for Gran Canaria
It was a team effort, as Gran Canaria's main ballhandlers – playmakers A.J. Slaughter, Andrew Albicy and Ferran Bassas – combined for 7 assists and 8 turnovers. That means that the rest of the team compiled for 20 assists and just 3 turnovers. Nico Brussino dished 7 assists, had 0 turnovers and also finished the game with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Ethan Happ had 5 assists and 1 turnover. He averaged 1.7 assists in his first 10 games and boosted that average to 5.5 in the last two games.
Difference in deep shooting, another key
Gran Canaria also shot the ball better from beyond the arc, which also made a difference in the game. The guests hit 12 of 29 three-pointers (41.4% 3FG) and limited Lietkabelis to just 10 of 32 three-point accuracy (31.3% 3FG). Gran Canaris deserves a lot of credit for its three-point defense, as Lietkabelis had buried 72 of 152 three-pointers (47.4% 3FG) in its previous six home games.
The guests stopped Lietkabelis shooters but had troubles against Deividas Sirvydis in the fourth quarter. Sirvydis scored 19 of his 31 points in the final 10 minutes, single-handedly giving Lietkabelis a chance to win the game. Happ, Albicy and Brussino allowed Gran Canaria to seal an important road win and help their team return to winning ways.
