Jaycee Carroll - Gran Canaria 2014 (photo cbgrancanaria.net)_25777In a long-awaited showdown, Gran Canaria 2014 became the Group C champion by edging Buducnost m:tel 62-60 at home on Tuesday. The game was originally scheduled to be played on December 21, 2010 but was suspended due to the impossibility of the Montenegrin team to travel to the Canary Islands due to snow storms that closed several airports around Europe. Gran Canaria won Group C with a 4-2 record due to its tie-break advantage against Budivelnik. Meanwhile, Buducnost was third at 3-3 and lost the chance to reach the Last 16. Jaycee Carroll led the winners with 21 points. Xavi Rey added 11 while CJ Wallace had 10 for Gran Canaria. Bojan Dubljevic had 12 points for Buducnost while Marko Scekic added 11 for the guests, that were without Vladimir Dragicevic. Buducnost pulled down 8 offensive rebounds in the opening 5 minutes and found a go-to guy in Dubljevic to get a 16-17 lead after 10 minutes. Javier Beiran and Xavi Rey stepped up for Gran Canaria while Carroll had 8 points late in the first half to make the hosts get a double-digit lead, 38-26, at the break. Buducnost rallied in the second half and a three-pointer by Aleksa Popovic gave his team a 57-58 edge with under 2 minutes left. A dunk by Rey and free throws by Carroll and Taurean Green allowed Gran Canaria to finish the regular season with another home win.

Sitapha Savane got Gran Canaria going with a dunk, igniting a 6-0 opening run that Wallace capped with consecutive layups. Dubljevic stepped up with a put-back basket, as Buducnost fully adjusted its defense and had started to power the offensive board. Another put-back layup by Marko Simonovic got his team within 6-4. Dubljevic followed free throws with back-to-back baskets to give Buducnost its first lead, 8-10. Wallace shined with a second-chance basket and Carroll struck from downtown but Scekic kept Buducnost ahead, 13-15. Tomas Bellas joined the three-point shootout but a dunk by Nemanja Milosevic restored a 16-17 Buducnost edge after 10 minutes. Beiran scored off a steal and Rey added a layup-plus-foul for a 21-17 Gran Canaria lead early in the second quarter. Gintaras Kadziulis and Scekic tried to change things for the guests but a three-point play by Mike Bramos and a dunk by Rey made Buducnost call timeout at 26-21. Rey and Beiran scored again to boost the hosts' margin to 30-22. Aleksej Nesovic hit free throws but Carroll took over with 6 unanswered points to break the game open, 36-24. Carroll matched Nikola Otasevic's layup with free throws to fix the halftime score at 38-26.

A put-back layup by Simonovic ignited Buducnost's comeback right after the break. Scekic scored down low, Popovic buried a three-pointer and by the time Nesovic dunked it off a steal, Buducnost had returned to the game, 38-35. Carroll stepped up with a layup and free throws but Simonovic and Vladimir Mihailovic got the guests even closer, 42-40. Wallace and Rey gave Gran Canaria some fresh air while a three-pointer by Bramos gave his team a 49-42 margin. Popovic took over with a three-point play but Spencer Nelson gave the hosts a 51-45 margin after three quarters. Buducnost knew already it wouldn't reach the next round but kept fighting for a prestigious road win. A layup by Scekic and a three-point play by Kadziulis got the guests within 51-50. Nelson hit free throws and Carroll added back-to-back layups for a 57-52 score with 4 minutes left. Dubljevic struck from downtown and fed Popovic for another triple that completed Buducnost's comeback, 57-58. Rey dunked it while Mihailovic and Carroll traded free throws for a 61-60 Granca lead. Buducnost called timeout but Mihailovic committed a turnover. The guests fouled on Green, who missed his second shot on purpose - but was an airball, giving Buducnost a final chance. Simonovic walked in the game's final possession.
