Eurocup. With victory from France!

Triumph Lyubertsy rallied from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter to edge Le Mans 74-77 on the road and register its first win in Group B on Tuesday. Triumph stole its first road win and will try to stay undefeated against Hemofarm Stada next week. Meanwhile, Le Mans needs to bounce back right away but faces mighty Power Electronics Valencia on the road next week. Brion Rush led the winners with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Valery Likhodey added 16 points while Paul Miller had 13 for Triumph. JP Batista and Dee Spencer led Le Mans with 17 points apiece. Zach Wright added 13, Marc Salyers had 11 while Maleye Ndoye got 10 for the hosts. An outstanding Spencer shined late in the first half to give Le Mans a 41-33 margin at the break. Triumph rallied after the break but Ndoye and Wright fueled an 11-0 run that gave Le Mans a 63-53 margin after 30 minutes. Triumph returned to the game with a 1-13 run and it all came down to the final seconds, in which Rush followed a jumper with 3-of-4 free throws to win it for the guests.
