Hamburg monster alley-oop! | Magic Moment of the Night
Mareks Mejeris scored six early points to put Cluj ahead early, 9-5. Hamburg held the hosts scoreless for nearly 3 minutes and pulled ahead, 9-11, with six straight points. That was the first of four lead changes and Cluj held the guests scoreless for more than 2 minutes, with Seeley moving to 7 points for a 25-17 lead. Cluj’s advantage was 30-22 after 10 minutes.
Camron Reece opened the scoring in the second quarter for Hamburg while Cluj failed to score for nearly 3 minutes. Hamburg could only cut the margin to 6 points and Cluj went on a 9-3 surge over more than 4 minutes for a 41-29 cushion. Stephens added two more baskets and Cluj went into the break up 45-35.
Cluj had the lead at 12 points early in the second half but Niklas Wimberg and Ogbe both hit triples for Hamburg to make it 51-45. Mokoka stepped up for Cluj with 11 points, including two three-pointers and a massive dunk in a 25-7 run to lead 76-52. The margin grew to 27 points at 82-55 and Cluj led 82-56 after 30 minutes.
Sasu Salin drained two three-pointers in an 11-0 start to the fourth quarter to lead 93-56 and end any doubts. Hamburg could not get closer than 21 points the rest of the way - and that only because Cluj coach Mihai Silvason finished the game with his youngsters.
