Quarter-Finals first leg Top Performers: Harris, Williams, Dekker, Lewis, Hopkins
MUNICH (Germany) - Marvelle Harris produced the only efficiency valuation of above 30 in an impressive performance as the FIBA Europe Cup Play-Offs began this week, and headlines the Top Performers lineup of the first-leg matchups in the Quarter-Finals.
The American poured in 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting - including a trio of triples without a miss - whilst also adding 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals as Bakken Bears edged out CSM CSU Oradea for an 84-82 victory at home.
Jaren Lewis joins his compatriot in the backcourt after putting up 12 points, 7 rebounds and collecting 3 steals to help lead HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim to a 71-68 home triumph over ZZ Leiden as they continue their debut campaign.
Meanwhile, Sam Dekker earned a debut appearance in the lineup after netting 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting to go with 7 rebounds and a couple of assists as Bahcesehir College earned a 73-70 victory away at Sporting CP.
The margin would have been far greater had it not been for the effort of Travante Williams with an all-round display of 25 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists to keep the Portuguese side in the contest ahead of next week's second legs.
Mikael Hopkins completes the lineup after posting a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds to help Unahotels Reggio Emilia claim a 71-68 victory away at Legia Warszawa with an advantage to take back to Italy.
