Behind a stellar game by D.J. Seeley who scored 21 points and also by Artsiom Parakhouski who had a double-double with 18 points and 11 assists, Rytas Vilnius got the big 90-68 win over AS Monaco and the ticket to the 7Days EuroCup quarterfinals.
The hosts jumped to a 25-14 first quarter lead and never looked back until the end. For the losing side, Paul Lacombe and Gerald Robinson were injured and missed the most crucial game of their team in this season’s EuroCup.
Without them, Monaco was simply shorthanded and didn’t have enough firepower.
On the other game of the Top 16 Group E, Alba Berlin beat Partizan.
