Gran Canaria routs Lietkabelis to remain undefeated

Herbalife Gran Canaria Las Palmas remained undefeated on the 7DAYS EuroCup season after beating Lietkabelis Panevezys 86-67 at Gran Canaria Arena. All 12 Gran Canaria players scored in the game as the perennial contenders improved to 3-0. Kyle Kuric led the way with 13 points and Bo McCalebb and Pablo Aguilar added 12 points apiece. The hosts made it look easy by outrebounding Lietkabelis 42-21 and blocking 5 shots compared to just 1 for the visitors. Lorenzo Williams paced Lietkabelis with 12 points and Ben Madgen scored 10 in the las that dropped his team’s record to 2-2.

The teams traded shots in the opening minutes and Lietkabelis led 5-7 after Mindaugas Lukauskis’s basket-plus-foul. Gran Canaria took charge with a 9-0 run to take the lead for good and later finished the quarter on a 17-0 tear to take a commanding 35-14 lead after 10 minutes. Lukauskis nailed a pair of threes early in the second quarter and his team later rallied to within 47-34 after a 0-10 run in which Williams either scored or assisted on all the points. The halftime score stood at 50-36. After Williams hit a three and Zygimanatas Skucas scored, Lietkabelis closed within 9 early in the second half. Three quick baskets restored a double-digit Gran Canaria advantage and Aguilar hit a pair of threes in a 10-1 push that put the hosts up by 21.
