Turk Telekom Ankara-Slask Wroclaw | Round 9 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
Anthony Clemmons hit a runner, Ellis and Aubrey Dawkins dropped free throws, and Perez nailed a jumper as Turk Telekom quickly went up 0-8. Hornsby finally got Metropolitans on the board, then Cummings, Hunter and Ginat started getting the rim to cut the difference to 10-12. Hunter's third layup tied it up and Ginat converted a three-point fastbreak opportunity to complete an 11-0 Metropolitans run to a 15-12 advantage. Jared Terrell for Turk Telekom and David Michineau for the hosts traded triples Geyik banked in a shot that Ginat bettered from deep to make it 21-17. Erdi Gulaslan's free throws and corner triple flipped Turk Telekom ahead, but Bandja Sy's put-back let Metropolitans hold a 23-22 lead after one quarter.
Geyik scored twice inside as the visitors went up 23-26 early in the second. Cummings regained the lead for Metropolitans with a three-point play and a layup at 28-26. Hunter added a dunk but Gulaslan kept the visitors close with a three-point play and Perez fed Geyik next for another lead change 30-31. What had been mostly inside scoring for both teams changed then as Hornsby, Cummings and Tony Crocker – twice – hit from deep to vault Metropolitans ahead quickly by 44-35. When Hornsby joined them by drilling from the corner, Metropolitans had the game's first double-digit lead. Clemmons stopped the hosts' 17-4 run by with a basket for Turk Telekom, but Ginat was left open for another triple that sent Metropolitans forward to a 52-39 halftime lead.
Perez and Hornsby got their teams going in the third quarter. Berk Demir and Perez added baskets at the rim for Turk Telekom to trim the difference to single digits, 54-45. Cummings and Dawkins traded triples, as did Crocker and Perez, before Hornsby and Gulaslan finished strong layups. When Cummings hit 2 perfect free throws the Metropolitans lead was double digits again, 65-53. Hunter and Geyik exchanged inside buckets but Michineau kept the hosts comfortable with a jumper on their way to a 72-58 lead after 30 minutes.
Cummings beat the Turk Telekom defense with a layup-plus-free throw combo to open the final quarter. Terrell finally got Turk Telekom's outside shooting restarted with a pair of strikes from the arc but Sy and Cummings matched him and when the latter finished a fastbreak Metropolitans, had matched its highest lead yet, 85-68. With Crocker and Michineau hitting from deep before the finish, the hosts only extended their lead and matched their club record in the EuroCup with 99 points. Ginat hit a final triple that would have broken that record, but it left his hand a hair after the final buzzer and was discounted on replay.
