Lewis impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 26 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Gravelines was edged by slightly lower-ranked Telekom Bsk (#3, 4-3) 80-77.

His team's 5-2 record is not bad at all. Lewis is a newcomer at Gravelines and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.
The third best performed player last round was American John Williamson (200-F/C-86, agency: KMG Sports Management) of Nilan Bisons (#5). Williamson scored 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
