“Aliens” beat league champion “Trilogy” with a score of 50:41 (26:22), celebrating the third victory in four matches.

Earl Clark was the top scorer in the “Trilogy” team with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

With three wins in four games, “Aliens” is in first place in the 12-team competition, but two more matches will take place on Sunday, which may cause slight changes in the standings.

In the “Big3” league, 50 points and a lead of at least two points are required for victory. The game time is unlimited, but one attack has 14 seconds. Another of the most significant differences from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) tournaments is that in the “Big3” league there is not only a three-point shot, but also a four-point shot.

The “Big 3” season races will take place every weekend until the beginning of August, when the finals are scheduled.

The coach of the “Aliens” is Rick Mahorn, who together with the Detroit “Pistons” won the championship of the National Basketball Association in 1989. In addition to Lasmans, “Aliens” includes two Serbs, team captain Dušan Bulut and Tomislav Ivošev, as well as two Americans, Deshon Stevens and Edam Drexler.
