By George Efkarpides / info@eurohoops.net

The Croatian stud took over the game with his scoring and passing as he finished with 26 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists helping the Sixers win their ninth straight game against the Knicks.

Turkish big-man Enes Kanter posted another double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds for the losing side.

Spanish point-guard Ricky Rubio fell two boards shy of a triple-double finishing with 14 points, 8 boards and 10 assists in a tough 97-94 home loss to the Boston Celtics.

French center Rudy Gobert posted a double-double with 10 points and 11 boards for the Jazz.

French rookie Guerschon Yabusele made his second career start and provided the game-winning assist to go along with his 3 points for Boston.
