While Tenerife trailed the visitors by three points at halftime, they won the third quarter 20:12.

With six minutes left in the game, the home team led 65:62. Then Jaime Fernandez scored and Drell added four points in a row, extending the lead to nine.

Drell, who played 25 minutes, scored 13 points (two-point shots 3/7, three-pointers 1/5, free throws 4/4) and grabbed ten rebounds; he also recorded two assists, two blocks, but in the negative column committed three turnovers and two personal fouls.

Drell's club extended their winning streak across all competitions to eight games; in the Champions League, they have won all 12 games this season and secured a place in the quarterfinals, to be played from April 8 to 23.

Drell, 24, plays small forward and was signed by CB 1939 Canarias, known for sponsorship reasons as La Laguna Tenerife, earlier this month, from the Rip City Remix, the NBA G-League affiliate of the Portland Trailblazers. He previously played for the Windy City Bulls, the Chicago Bulls' G-League team, even getting starts for the main NBA side too, making him only the second-ever Estonian to play in the NBA after Martin Müürsepp achieved that feat in the 1990s.
