Strong finish gives Gran Canaria 79-91 win at Wroclaw
Group B leader Gran Canaria improved to 8-2 and held on to the top spot with a hard-fought 79-91 win at Slask Wroclaw, with the home side dropping to 1-9 at the bottom of the standings after running out steam in the final quarter of an absorbing contest.
David Mutaf paced the visitors with 19 points, shooting 7-for-12 from the floor and 5-for-8 from three-point range. Khalifa Diop chipped in with 17 points, including a pair of huge dunks, Aleksander Balcerowski added 12 points and Vitor Benite netted 10. Center Aleksander Dziewa led Slask with a game-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, Jeremiah Martin scored 17 points and Conor Morgan added 11 for the home side.
Expectably, the game was decided in the paint as Gran Canaria grabbed a staggering 43 rebounds, 16 of them offensive, while Slask managed 32, of which 6 were offensive.
Roared by a vocal home crowd, Slask made a bright start and took an early 12-6 lead before Gran Canaria responded with a streak of their own, with long-range shots raining in from all angles at both ends.
Slask had nailed 4-of-7 shots from behind the arc in the opening 10 minutes while the visitors hit 3-of-8, but they still nosed ahead 22-23 at the end of the first quarter.
It was clear from the offset that Slask was always going to struggle in the paint against a more athletic Gran Canaria side, whose towering center Diop caused the home team all sorts of problems.
Gran Canaria pulled away to 33-44 late in the first half before an 8-0 run by Slask cut the deficit to just 3 points at the interval, with Dziewa pacing the hosts on 12 points while the sharp-shooting Mutaf had amassed 13 at the other end.

Conditt dunks on Pustovyi! Magic Moment
Gran Canaria’s offensive rebounds continued to hurt Slask after the break, especially late in the third quarter as the visitors turned a 58-55 deficit into a 62-65 lead before the final period.
The home side looked out for the count after a couple of three-pointers from the visitors early in the fourth quarter had engineered a 64-73 lead, but Slask was right back in it after Martin slashed the deficit to 73-70 with a three-point play.
Moments later, with the visitors leading 75-80, Diop came up with a massive dunk and garnished it with a free throw to force Slask into submission as there was no way back for the hosts in the dying minutes.
It was one-way traffic from there on and Gran Canaria emerged as the game’s worthy winners thanks to a deep and hard-working roster, which had more left in the tank down the stretch.
