Falco Szombathely showed great character in the final stretch to snatch a 94-86 win at home over Casademont Zaragoza, halting the Spanish team's undefeated run in Group D.

Zaragoza, who would have secured a ticket to the Play-Offs with a win, led briefly by as many as 11 points, 35-24, in the second quarter.

But, in a game that featured 13 lead changes, the group leaders always felt Falco breathing down their necks as the Hungarian side controlled the battle on the glass 34 to 27 and held Zaragoza to just 8 of 30 shooting (26.7 percent) from beyond the arc.

Szilard Benke drilled a triple 3:50 form the final buzzer to tie the scores at 84-84 and, after Zaragoza missed yet another three-point shot on the other end, Evan Bruinsma knocked down a step-back trey over Robin Benzing's raised hand to give Falco an 87-84 lead.

Anderson dished out 9 assists to go with his game-high 25 points and registered an efficiency rating of 34, while Zoltan Perl chipped in with 17 points and Benke with Bruinsma finished with 15 points apiece. Jason Thompson had 23 points and 8 rebounds for Zaragoza in a losing effort.

The hosts run in the open floor on repeated occasions early on and opened up a 27-14 lead after Darko Talic hit a jumper shortly before the eight-minute mark in the second frame.

Jerusalem struggled with their shooting from beyond the arc but were fortunate to have Suleiman Braimoh on a great night and the Nigerian power forward poured in 20 points in the first half alone to help his team balance proceedings by the interval.

Marko Josilo scored with a layup with 1:55 remaining on the clock to give Igokea some breathing space, 71-65, but J’Covan Brown drew an unsportsmanlike foul and Hapoel made the most of it to reduce the gap to two points, 71-69.

Josilo led Igokea with a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds and Edin Atic chipped in with 15 points, 6 boards and 2 blocks, while Braimoh finished on a game-high 29 points and 9 rebounds in defeat.

Burgos have now improved to 3-1 and, having defeated Darüssafaka both home and away, they hold the tiebreaker in Group H over the Turkish team, who slide to 1-3.

Darüssafaka started off on a 10-0 run and led by as many as 12 points, 15-3, midway through the opening quarter, but the entrance of the second unit of Burgos stopped the rot, as Ken Horton and Alex Renfroe hit one triple each in quick succession.

The Spanish team held their hosts to just 14 second-quarter points and led by as many as 6 points, but the two teams traded blows after the interval and it became evident the game would go down to the wire.

With Darüssafaka leading 71-70 and 1:14 remaining to the final buzzer, Thad McFadden drilled an acrobatic shot from eight meters out just as the possession clock was running out, and the Turkish team turned the ball over.

Vítor Benite drew a foul but converted only one of his free-throws, making it 74-71 for Burgos, and Darüssafaka called timeout.

When action resumed they put the ball in the hands of Andrew Andrews but Omar Cook came up a great defensive play and prevented the hosts' point guard from even firing off a shot.

A Jaye Crockett triple 6:42 from the third buzzer sparked the Athens team's reaction and Steven Gray drilled two three-pointers in quick succession, the second with 43 seconds remaining to play, to tie the scores at 76-76.

But Jefferson managed to find a sliver of open space just 12 seconds from the final buzzer to knock down the trey that proved to be the game the game-winner, as Ryan Harrow missed on a desperation attempt to force overtime on the other end.
