Kinder London Towers slipped to their 12
straight defeat in the EuroLeague on Thursday night, losing at home to
the Greek side Peristeri 87-75 as their ignominious campaign continued.
The Towers however put up stiff resistance
for three quarters before succumbing to an early 10-0 fourth quarter burst
from the visitors who had lost their six previous matches in the competition.
Terrell Myers once again led the Towers with four three pointers in his
game high 24 points, while Constantinos Esartsaris had 23 for Peristeri.
With two rounds left in the initial stage,
Kinder Bologna advanced out of Group B with an 85-89 decision on the road
at Union Olimpija, which fell to fifth place. Second-place now belongs
solely to Barcelona, a 72-92 winner at Zalgiris Kaunas, while Ulker joined
Opel Skyliners in third place by prevailing in their 78-76 thriller in
Istanbul.
