We made a great victory tonight in Basketball to advance to the final-4 competition in Istanbul by beating Siena 76-69. This win took the series to three games to two. Siena did try to their credit and chased us hard during the game but we managed to take control in the last period to finally get the win over the Italians.
Hines and Spanoulis worked well together in the first period to put ourselves in the front whilst it was a Hines-Keselj partnership which did the damage in the second period. Seina got themselves back into the game during the third period after capitalising on some of our mistakes but we then took control in the final period and surged to a good win.
