ERA Nymburk gambled aways its double-digit lead late in the game and PAOK came out victorious with 75-71 on the road in the Basketball Champions League. Both teams now have a 2-2 record in Group E.

Nymburk was up by as much as 15 points (64-49) early in the fourth quarter but PAOK completely took over and went on a 19-2 run (68-66), pushing the game into a close finish and eventually prevailing.

Jermaine Love and Jerrick Harding were exchanging clutch play after clutch play down the stretch, and the latter was very close to forcing overtime for Nymburk but his drive to the basket was stopped by a well-timed block by Marvin Jones. The basket was even counted initially due to goaltending but the referees changed their call after review.

Malcolm Griffin was the leading scorer for PAOK with 22 points while Jones finished with 18 and Love with ten points. On the opposing side, Harding scored 17 and Demetre Rivers 16 points.
