Unics breaks losing streak with club scoring record

Unics Kazan got back to winning ways in style on Thursday, beating EA7 Emporio Armani Milan 100-79 in the Round 10 opener and breaking its club scoring record in a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game. Its previous best was 99 points set earlier this season in a road loss to Anadolu Efes Istanbul, but this time scoring record translated into a victory that broke Unics's three-game losing streak and improved its record to 3-7. Milan dropped to 4-6. Unics took control of the scoreboard with a 16-2 first-quarter and never trailed again. The hosts had a 57-43 advantage at halftime before Milan got within 4 points, 73-69, at the end of the third quarter. A 10-0 fourth-quarter run capped by Vadim Panin from downtown restored a double-digit lead, however, and Unics never looked back. Keith Langford netted 25 points to pace Unics. Panin finished with a career-high 18 points on 4-for-5 three-point shooting. Artsiom Parakhouski scored 16, Orlando Johnson also had a career-high with 14 points, while Quino Colom was everywhere with 9 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and a pair of steals. Jamel McLean scored 14 of his 16 points in the first half to pace Milan. Ricky Hickman added 12, while Zoran Dragic and Rakim Sanders scored 10 apiece in defeat.
