Group B pace-setter Gran Canaria improved its record to 11-2 and sent an ominous warning to its rivals in the EuroCup knockout stages about just how offensively potent the side is after six players finished in double figures in a 118-99 home rout of Paris Basketball.

Game Report
3 mins read
David Mutaf paced the hosts with 22 points, Aleksander Balcerowski poured in 20, while Andrew Albicy and John Shurna netted 12 each and Damien Inglis and Khalifa Diop scored 10 points apiece, underlining a smooth team effort that also produced 31 assists. Aamir Simms led Paris with 22 points, Tyrone Wallace sank 19, new signing Michael Roll chipped in with 17 and Amar Gegic added 14 for the visitors, who dropped to 8-5.
It was a battle of two teams who had already booked playoff spots and Gran Canaria came out with all guns blazing, romping to a 23-9 lead before closing out the first quarter with a 36-26 advantage, equalling the highest points tally in a single quarter in the club’s history.
At that stage, Albicy led the home team with 9 points while Simms had 12 at the other end before the second quarter produced a festival of three-pointers for the home team with forward David Mutaf taking center stage. The 20-year-old nailed four long-range shots in a row as Gran Canaria’s precarious 53-43 advantage midway through the second period soared to 65-45, with Mutaf finishing the first half on 18 points, shooting 5 of 7 from beyond the arc.

Gran Canaria also broke the club’s points record in a single half as it led 68-49 and the third quarter served up more one-way traffic as the home side romped ahead 92-63 with 2 minutes left in the period, having displayed a vast array of offensive firepower.
Gran Canaria took its foot off the gas pedal in the final quarter and Paris took advantage to add some respectability to the scoreboard, but the night belonged to the hosts who marched on in their quest to clinch the group’s top spot.
