Siena claim third place

Siena's Ksistof Lavrinovic notched a game-high 19 points and was backed by Terrell McIntyre with 16, as Simone Pianigiani's side matched their 2003 achievement in a nailbiting finish.

Tau's Mirza Teletovic bagged 11 first-quarter points to help the Spaniards to a 41-38 halftime lead, but the Italians fought back to level at 61 apiece going into the fourth period.

Seven straight points from Tiago Splitter put Tau on the brink of victory at 79-78 with a minute to go, but a foul on Lavrinovic sent the Lithuanian centre to the free throw line. He only managed to level the scores, missing his second shot.

Zoran Planinic burst down the court on the counter but his buzzer-time effort bounced off the rim and the match went into overtime.

A Lavrinovic shot from outside the arc gave Siena a two-point lead in the 43rd and another six points without reply made the decisive break as they held on for the win.

Pete Mickeal top scored for Tau with 16 but could not prevent his side finishing fourth for the second year in a row.
