Lee and Micov traded layups, Jagodnik and Marko Popovic struck from downtown while free throws by Lee and a dunk by Benda gave Nymburk a 48-46 lead. Sokolovsky nailed back-to-back triples - one from each corner - for a 54-48 Nymburk margin after 30 minutes. Michal Kremen joined the three-point shootout early in the fourth quarter. Benda scored inside while Lee made free throws to make Nymburk restore a double-digit lead at 60-50. Otasevic buried a three-pointer and Gordic added a jumper to give Buducnost some hope, 61-55, with over 4 minutes to go. Gray followed a jumper with a driving layup but Simonovic kept Buducnost in the game, 65-59. Gray scored again in penetration, hit a triple and soon added free throws for a 72-65 Nymburk lead. Buducnost was not done, however, as free throws by Otasevic and a three-point play by Gordic brought the guests within 72-70. Lee made a free throw with 34 seconds remaining and even when Dasic missed from downtown, Nymburk committed a quick turnover.

"It was a very tough game for us tonight. Close till the end with us pulling out the victory. Buducnost played a very aggressive defense on the ball. We are not used to this kind of pressure from our domestic competition so it took us a while to get used to it. I also we handled quite well the switching defense of Buducnost being able to score or pass out to open shooters when mismatches occured after the swithes. I am very proud of my players to step up to the challenge in the crucial minutes of the game. We were a bit tired at the end of the game and thats why we commited some unneccessary turnovers and gave Buducnost a chance to get back in to the game. I consider Buducnost to be a high quality team and our club should be proud of tonight's victory."

RADONJIC, DEJAN

Buducnost

"We did not open the game as we expected. During the second period our game started to click a lot better and we cut down the lead. In the second half the score was very close, mostly with us only a few points behind, always keeping the chance to win the alive. Unfortunatelly we did not capitalize on our chances and lost the game."

Players

GRAY, JUSTIN

CEZ Nymburk

"It was a good first home game in the competition. We lost pre game jitters quite early and got going. I consider the win to be a very important since in a four team group format a team thats want to keep their chances alive must win all the home games. At the end all that matters is that we pulled out a victory."
