Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv-Umana Reyer Venice | Round 12 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
Wiltjer netted Reyer’s first 7 points, but Carrington scored 5 of his own, Chris Johnson added 3 and Dovrat nailed a triple for a 10-7 Jerusalem lead. Yet, the guests went on a 0-6 run, with Amedeo Tessitori scoring inside, Wiltjer hitting 2 of 2 from the line and Rodney McGruder sinking a layup in transition to put Reyer ahead, 10-13. The hosts responded with an 11-0 surge, including easy finishes from Cornelius and new signing Derek Ogbeide on the break following Reyer turnovers on offense. Wiltjer netted a floater off the glass to end Jerusalem’s run and trimmed the deficit to 21-15. The Reyer forward was hot both from inside and beyond the arc, adding another 5 points to take his tally to 16, as Jerusalem maintained a 24-20 lead after 10 minutes.
The hosts started strong in the second quarter, as Cornelius and Tessitori traded buckets before a triple from Carrington and an Ogbeide layup opened a 32-22 margin. Dovrat nailed one from deep and Yovel Zoosman scored a hard-fought basket to extend Jerusalem’s run to 14-2. Reyer netted just one field goal in the first 6 and half minutes of the second, before Wiltjer came off the bench to score from inside, 38-24. Yet, Jerusalem went on a 7-0 run to extend its lead to beyond 20 points before a layup from Jordan Parks in transition made it 47-29 at halftime.
The game turned into a back-and-forth affair in the opening stages of the second half, but Jerusalem maintained a 57-36 cushion following triples from Dovrat and Morgan. Carl Wheatle and Moretti nailed back-to-back threes, but Cornelius netted a layup in transition to end Reyer’s momentum, 59-42. An exchange of blows saw Jerusalem push the margin to 69-47, with Morgan netting a triple and Cornelius adding 4 points to his tally. All Reyer managed to do in the last minute of the third was to cut the difference to 69-51 from the line.
Jerusalem started strong in the closing quarter, going on a 12-2 run to practically finish the game off. A Morgan triple followed a midrange jumper from Carrington before 2 three-pointers from Zoosman made it 81-53. Then, Reyer lost its two bigs, Tessitori and Alessandro Lever, both of whom fouled out, before a Dovrat jumper extended Jerusalem’s lead beyond 30 points, 86-55, with the hosts cruising the rest of the way.
