With a great performance in defense and attack, Bowen Dove defeated Bonn (90-62), tying the series 1-1 and will return to Germany to achieve victory and qualify for the Final Four of the Basketball Champions League.
A great night and a great performance from Peristeri-Bowen, who defeated Boone 90-62 in a heated Andreas Papandreou game and took the NBA Champions League quarterfinal series to Game 3.
Vassilis Spanoulis' team destroyed the Germans with an impressive balance in defense and attack, returning next week to Bonn and fighting on 4/16 for the result that will send them to the Final Four in Belgrade (4/26-28).
Joe Ragland had another great showing in scoring and assists, Jermaine Love, Elijah Mitro-Long and Trevor Thompson followed suit, and despite a low three-point percentage, the Dove duo dominated.
Boone's perimeter shooting percentage was even lower, as Roel Moores saw his team “melt” in the extremely hot atmosphere which played its part.
Glenn Watson and Tel Pipp were the first to score for the Germans, who are now under pressure, going into the deciding match at home, but knowing that the chances are at worst 50-50.
19-12 points from opponent errors, 9-8 points from surprise, 12-12 points from second chances (offensive rebounds), 50-32 points from the racket, 27-35 points from substitutes in both groups.
