Andrews was more of a third scorer for most of the first three quarters alongside David Dudzinski and Derek Needham, who ended the game with 23 and 16 points respectively. But the 28-year-old Andrews took over the proceedings in the fourth quarter.
So far Andrews, who is making his EuroCup debut this season, torched Virtus Segafredo Bologna for 37 points in Round 10 and scored 27 points against Umana Reyer Venice, 24 versus Promitheas Patras and 22 points against Mincedelice JL Bourg en Bresse.
This time it was the Valencia defense's turn to get picked apart by Andrews. With his team down 67-72 with less than 7 minutes left, Andrews threw down a monster dunk. He followed that with a driving layup and 2 free throws to give Bursaspor the lead. He added a three-pointer and then followed later with a tough three-point play and the home side was ahead 83-77.
Andrews was not quite done as he added a tough jumper in the lane before converting 2 free throws with 20 seconds left for an 89-86 lead to all but lock up the win. All told, Andrews finished with 23 points including 16 points in the final 6:47 minutes. And the Bursaspor guard had another team to call his victim.
