Prometey Slobozhanske secured a top-two finish in Group A by downing Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse 96-82 at Arena Riga in the Latvian capital on Wednesday evening. Prometey improved to 12-4 in the standings and is on a nine-game winning streak, in which it has beaten each and every opponent in Group A. Bourg, who has already qualified to the playoffs, dropped to 8-8 and has lost its last five games.

Frantz Massenat struck from downtown and fed Amida Brimah for a dunk in traffic that gave Bourg an early 3-5 lead. Sydorov and Clavell each buried a three-pointer, then James Dickey's fastbreak dunk made the guest call timeout at 15-11. Stephens buried back-to-back triples to boost Prometey's lead to 21-16 after 10 minutes.
Ivan Tkachenko and Stephens soon took over with consecutive dunks, getting help from Dickey to give the hosts a 28-20 lead. Palmer and Julien managed to bring the guest within 39-36. Oleksandr Lypovvy and Sodorov each struck from beyond the arc in an 8-0 run that made it a double-digit game, 47-36, at halftime.
