AS Monaco blow out Enisey Krasnoyarsk in second half to stay unbeaten


KRASNOYARSK (Basketball Champions League) - AS Monaco trailed at half-time but put on a high-flying, rim-rocking show after the break and rolled to a 94-65 victory at Enisey Krasnoyarsk on Wednesday to remain unbeaten in the Basketball Champions League.

Down 27-15 after the first quarter, Enisey battled back to lead 44-42 at half-time with Latvia international Martins Meiers (18 points, 9 rebounds) doing much of the damage.

Monaco outscored Enisey 26-13 in the third quarter, though, with Gerald Robinson and Christopher Evans producing one of the plays of the season.

Robinson slowed up on a fast break, threw the ball off the backboard and Evans caught it before finishing with a two-handed reverse dunk.

Elmedin Kikanovic poured in 20 points and Robinson had an electrifying 18 as Monaco improved to 10-0 in Group C, becoming therefore the first team mathematically qualified for the Play-Offs. Evans was also outstanding with 19 points and 7 rebounds. Enisey, who began the season with two wins in their first four games, dropped to 2-8.
