Frutti Extra Bursaspor's victory in Ulm on Tuesday closed the doors on qualification for Bourg. Despite the bad news, the visitors grabbed a hard-fought 73-75 win that put its opponent in a very difficult situation, as the Montenegrin champs were in the battle to secure home-court advantage in the next stage.
A 3-25 run when Bourg trailed 52-41 in the last quarter shifted the momentum, as cold-blooded Hugo Benitez confirmed the upset by scoring his 2 only points of the game from the line entering the last minute.
“Even though we were minus 11 in the second half, we stayed focused on the game, we found solutions,” said Bourg's Coach Laurent Legname right after the game. “We know it’s really tough to win here, but my players made a great effort, with a good attitude. They sacrificed for the team... It’s a good win for us, maybe it’s too late, but it was a good one for us.”
