Campbell, Jaiteh led Nanterre to big road win in Bilbao

JSF Nanterre sent a message that echoed all around Group A by downing Dominion Bilbao Basket 73-76 on the road on Wednesday. Terrance Campbell led the winners with 21 points on 5-of-7 three-pointers. Mam Jaiteh added 14 and 14 rebounds while Hugo Invernizzi had 13 points for Nanterre. Dairis Bertans led Bilbao with 22 points. Alex Mumbru added 17 while Shawn James had 14 for the hosts, that led 14-7 early. Nanterre cut its deficit to 19-17 after 10 minutes and got a double-digit lead, 26-36, at halftime. Mumbru and James ignited an 11-0 run that put Bilbao back ahead, 37-36, right after the break. The hosts extended their margin to 61-55 midway through the fourth quarter but a 0-9 run that Campbell capped with a three-pointer allowed Nanterre to walk away with a good-as-gold road win.

Bertans shined early with 7 quick points to give Bilbao a 9-4 lead. Campbell rescued Nanterre with a three-pointer but free throws by James and another triple by Bertans boosted the hosts' margin to 14-7. Campbell insisted from downtown and got help from Invernizzi and Jeremy Nzeulie to bring the guests as close as 15-14. Clevin Hannah and Georgios Bogris stepped up with consecutive baskets but Campbell kept Nanterre within 19-17 after 10 minutes. The guests help Bilbao scoreless for more than 5 minutes while Campbell, Jaiteh and Gerald Robinson allowed Nanterre to get a 19-26 margin, after a 0-12 run. Bertans nailed his third triple and soon added free throws but Mykal Riley and Robinson kept Nanterre way ahead. A jumper by Invernizzi and free throws by Nzeulie made it a double-digit game, 26-36, at halftime.

At three-pointer by Mumbru and back-to-back baskets by James brought Bilbao back to life, 33-36, right after the break. Nanterre couldn't find the way to the basket while James and Alex Rouff completed the hosts' comeback, 37-36, after an 11-0 run. Campbell - who else? - struck from downtown but Invernizzi added a jumper but three-pointers by Bertans and Raul Lopez restored a 43-41 Bilbao edge. Invernizzi kept pacing Nanterre and got help from Fernando Raposo to make the guests tie the game, 48-48, at the end of the third quarter. Jaiteh and Robinson stepped up to give Nanterre a 54-55 edge early in the fourth quarter. Lopez hit his second triple, igniting a 7-0 run that gave Bilbao a 61-55 lead. Nzeulie and Jaiteh tried to change things for Nanterre but Mumbru and James kept Bilbao ahead, 66-62. Campbell had 5 points in a 0-9 run which he capped with a triple to put the guests ahead for good, 66-71, with 42 seconds left. Free throws by Campbell, Riley and Nzuelie sealed the outcome, as Lopez missed from way downtown at the buzzer.

"The game didn't start the way we wanted. We were not able to execute the things that we wanted to do and had too much respect for our opponent. We knew Nanterre is a high-level team, very physical, with a good shooting percentage, like they showed tonight. In the first half, we were not able to do what we wanted to do. We did good things, but not all the time. We found good, close shots on offense, which we missed and that made us be a bit frustrated in the first half and we paid a high price for it. Everything changed after the break; we held Nanterre scoreless for five or six minutes and had more fun, getting better options on offense and defense. The game was on our side when we were up by 6 with four minutes left, but there was some situation, especially a steal that we didn't get anything from and to which Nanterre answered with a three-pointer. We have to learn from this, especially those players who haven't played this competition for a long time or are here for the first time. We have to be tougher and braver. I loved the way my team bounced back; we don't have to be afraid of anyone."

"It was a difficult game to win, as we played against a club from the Spanish league. It is very important to win the first game to finish in the top four of the group. It is important to win away from home, if we lose at home."
