Unbeaten Galatasaray stole the show on Tuesday’s Eurocup games with the big win over Nizhny Novgorod, while Ludwigsburg got the overtime win, Gran Canaria continues to be perfect at home for 13 games and Nanterre destroyed Bonn.

In Group F, Erick McCollum rallied Galatasaray Odeabank Istanbul to beat Nizhny Novgorod 87-85 and remain undefeated. McCollum scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to bring the hosts back from a 12-point deficit. When McCollum came up short on his final shot, Stephane Lasme came to the rescue with the go-ahead put-back that won the game. Lasme finished with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks to help Galatasaray reach the midway point of the regular season at 5-0.

In Group B, in an overtime thriller, MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg edged Le Mans Sarthe Basket 75-81 on Tuesday. After Chris Lofton’s three on the buzzer forced overtime for Le Mans, the visitors took charge with a 0-7 run to start the extra session and held on the rest of the way. Shawn Huff led the Ludwigsburg attack with 21 points, while Jon Brockman dominated inside with 12 points and 17 rebounds. His 9 offensive rebounds were 2 off the competition record. Herbalife Gran Canaria Las Palmas pulled away late to beat Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia 76-67. Alen Omic posted 17 points and 10 rebounds to pace Granca, which bounced back nicely from previous week’s loss. The victory was the team’s 13th straight regular season home win.

In Group A, Terrance Campbell and Hugo Invernizzi knocked down 5 three-pointers apiece to lead JSF Nanterre to a 101-78 rout of Telekom Baskets Bonn. Campbell totaled 21 points and 6 assists and Invernizzi scored 18 in a victory that ensured Nanterre will sit among the top half of Group A at the midway point of the regular season.
