Brown ties scoring record, leads Siena to big road win

Siena recupera 11 punti nel terzo periodo e vince in casa di Simone Pianigiani

EuroLeague

Bobby Brown was virtually unstoppable on Friday night in tying the Euroleague’s all-time single-game scoring mark and leading Montepaschi Siena to a come-from-behind 92-98 victory Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul on the road. Brown scored 41 points to lead the Italian champs to their second-straight win, which keeps them tied for first place in Group F. Brown also dished 7 assists and was 13 for 13 from the foul line in racking up a performance index rating of 50, which is tied for sixth all-time. Fenerbahce led by 8 early in the fourth quarter, but Brown and co. heated up and took control. The game remained tight until Marco Carraretto made 2 free throws with 11 seconds left to put the visitors up two possessions and Brown sealed the win and tied the record with a slam in the closing seconds. Brown, the first player to reach 40 points in five years, tied Alphonso Ford of Peristeri, Carlton Myers of PAF bologna and Kaspars Kambala of Efes Pilsen for the record. Viktor Sanikidze added 19 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Bojan Bogdanovic led Fenerbahce with a career-high 31 points, Bo McCalebb added 17 against his former team before fouling out, Emir Preldzic tallied 15 points and 8 assists and Romain Sato finished with 11.
