Vince Hunter posted an almost flawless double/double of 25 points (12/12 f.g.) and 11 rebounds for 39 PIR as defending champ AEK came back from 12 points down to beat Dijon 90 – 80 on the road for Round 4 of the Basketball Champions League Group Stage.
Dijon had a dynamic entrance and was leading 41 – 29 in the mid of the second period. But AEK recovered and then unleashed in the third quarter to not only completely erase its deficit but close the period up 61 – 70. The Greek squad proceeded to completely take control, and went up even by 14, 74 – 88 with less than three minutes left.
Apart from Hunter, Xavier Rathan-Mayes had 15 points and Jonas Maciulis 10 points and eight rebounds for AEK that is now 3-1 in Group C. Dijon fell to 1-3, despite the efforts of David Holston (20 points, five assists) and Alexandre Chassang (18 points).
