Bobby Dixon - Pinar Karsiyaka - EC13 (photo CSU Asesoft)Pinar Karsyiaka Izmir claimed a 72-80 road win over CSU Ploiesti to jump atop Group E with a 2-0 record. CSU Asesoft dropped to 1-1 with the loss. Bobby Dixon contributed 25 points on 5-of-9 three-point shooting and 6 assists a performance index rating of 33, Esteban Batista added a double-double of 17 points and 11 boards, Jon Diebler scored 12 and Baris Hersek posted 11 points plus 9 rebounds. Filip Adamovic led Ploiesti with 19 points, Vladimir Tica added 14, Chris Dunn 13 and Dragan Zevkovic 11.

The home team started strong for an 11-4 advantage on Tica’s mid-range jumper. Mohammed Alhaji stole the ball and soared in the open court to finish with an easy layup to go on 15-6 before Dixon from downtown fixed the scoreboard on 15-11 after 10 minutes. The visitors opened the second quarter scoring three consecutive three pointers to take the lead on 17-20 through Hersek, then a three-point-play completed by Leo Lyons and a triple by Jon Diebler pushed the difference to double figures, 23-34, and Pinar Karsyaka led 26-36 at halftime. Back from intermission, the guests extended the cushion with another huge 10-2 run capped by Mutlu Demir put back, to go up 28-46. CSU Asesoft tried to come back and Dunn posted a layup and free throw to get as close as 45-58 as the quarter ended. Batista’s three-point-play and 5 points in a row from Dixon enlarged the cushion to 52-69 at the midway point of the last quarter, and only in the last two minutes did Ploiesti cut the difference to 72-77 when FIlip Adamovic scored from long distance, but Batista sealed the win with a put back.

Head Coaches

ARNAUTOVIC, VLADIMIR
CSU Asesoft Ploiesti
"It is the worst thing that could have happened. Losing Jonte Flowers, our best shooter, and, then, losing a game that we controlled in the first ten minutes is very hard for us as a team. I made some tactical changes, trying to play with Dunn at shooting guard, but we had no time to come back in the last quarter after Pinar was 18 points in front."
SARICA, UFUK
Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir
"It is a very important win for us. We knew before the game that Asesoft would try to play hard in front of its fans and show that the victory from Moscow wasn't such a big surprise. We are now 2-0 and we can make our lessons for the game against Lukoil next week."

Players

ADAMOVIC, FILIP
CSU Asesoft Ploiesti
"Flowers’s injury shocked all of us and we couldn't react in the first half. We weren't tired, but such a moment is very tough, mentally speaking. We must do our best in the next games even without Flowers, who probably will come back after four or five months."
BATISTA, ESTEBAN
Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir
"Winning on the road in such a strong competition is always good. After the first quarter ended 15-11, we controlled the game for the next 20 minutes and then, some mistakes gave the hosts the chance to return. I think it was a good game for both sides, who showed quality and tried to fight for every ball."
