Besiktas GAIN Istanbul defeated Dolomiti Energia Trento 97-83 in front of its home crowd, delivering a strong second-half performance and keeping its unbeaten record at home alive.

Besiktas’s third-quarter surge secures home victory against Trento

[Besiktas GAIN Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/besiktas-gain-istanbul/bes/) defeated [Dolomiti Energia Trento](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/dolomiti-energia-trento/trn/) 97-83 in front of its home crowd, delivering a strong second-half performance and keeping its unbeaten record at home alive.

[Brynton Lemar](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/brynton-lemar/013261/) stole the show for Besiktas, matching his career high in the BKT EuroCup with 23 points. The American guard had yet to find his rhythm this season, so he answered any criticism with an excellent performance on Wednesday night.

He managed just six points in the first half but erupted in the third quarter, catching fire from deep and lifting his team’s performance. His timely triples in crucial moments helped seal the win and turned him into the decisive factor for the hosts.

“I just wanna thank my teammates, it’s all my teammates,” said Lemar after the game, staying humble and giving credit to his teammates. “They found me. Coming here, I had to adjust a little bit. I believe in myself, I trusted in my work. Good results show but it’s a team sport, team win.”

Coach Dusan Alimpijevic praised Lemar’s performance, saying: “He showed his quality today. I’m very happy for him, he is a hard worker. I hope he will continue like this.”

In a fast-paced first half, Trento held the momentum with aggressive defense and effective offensive sets. The Italian side disrupted Besiktas’s offensive plans and forced 7 turnovers on the hosts, building a double-digit lead. Besiktas stayed in the game with shots from deep but trailed by 5 points at halftime.

“We played two totally different halves,” said Coach Alimpijevic. “First half we were a little bit soft; in the second we showed our character and toughness. Offense in the first half was not that much of a problem, because we scored 45 points with some missed open shots. It could be more over 50. It’s a bigger problem when you receive on a halftime 50 points at your home.”

Besiktas came out of the locker room with a burst of intensity, starting the half with aggressive defense and exploiting Trento’s lapses. The hosts dominated the third quarter 31-13, with timely three-pointers from [Conor Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/conor-morgan/009680/) and Lemar proving crucial, effectively sealing the win. Morgan finished with 19 points and a 27 PIR, while Lemar’s scoring surge helped swing the game decisively in Besiktas’s favor.

Brynton Lemar was instrumental in the black-and-whites grabbing the win

Besiktas GAIN Istanbul v Dolomiti Energia Trento (2025-11-12T17:00:00.000Z)

The return of Kyle Alexander has coincided with a major uptick in form for Turk Telekom, which is now riding a five-game win streak following a 74-100 win at Lietkabelis Panevezys on Wednesday night. At present, there is no team in the BKT EuroCup that is hotter than Turk Telekom.

Turk Telekom stays red-hot, demonstrates its title credentials at Lietkabelis

After Round 2, things looked pretty bleak at [Turk Telekom Ankara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/turk-telekom-ankara/ttk/). Languishing in Group B with a 0-2 record, it seemed that much of the preseason hype surrounding the team was going to fail to deliver.

That changed in Round 3. The return of [Kyle Alexander](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kyle-alexander/011973/) has coincided with a major uptick in form for Turk Telekom, which is now riding a five-game win streak following a 74-100 win at [Lietkabelis Panevezys](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/lietkabelis-panevezys/lkb/) on Wednesday night. At present, there is no team in the BKT EuroCup that is hotter than Turk Telekom.

With coach Erdem Can stressing the importance of defense after giving up 96 and 88 points, respectively, in the first two rounds of the campaign, Turk Telekom has held its opponents to 77 points or fewer during its run of five straight victories.

The last two rounds, however, have shown that the team’s offense is only getting better, posting what was a season-high 95 points in [a 95-67 beatdown of Panionios Cosmorama Travel Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/turk-telekom-keeps-rolling-as-strong-second-half-seals-win-over-panionios/) in Round 6 before setting a new season-best mark with a century of points at Lietkabelis.

Lietkabelis Panevezys-Turk Telekom Ankara | Round 7 Highlights | 2025-26 BKT EuroCup

To find the last time that Turk Telekom poured in 100 points or more, you’ve got to go back to December 14, 2022. That day, the Turkish side – led by Coach Can in his first spell in charge – [lit up the London Lions in a 102-74 win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/turk-telekom-ankara-london-lions/U2022/76/#box-score). Turk Telekom would go on to reach the EuroCup Final that season, with Can being named the EuroCup Coach of the Year.

There are certainly comparisons that can be made between that team and this current group, with Turk Telekom getting regular contributions this season – and particularly during this recent stretch – from star guards [Jaleen Smith](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jaleen-smith/011192/) and [Michael Devoe](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/michael-jaden-devoe/013922/), towering centers Alexander and [Kris Bankston](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kris-bankston/012760/), and forward [Jordan Usher](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jordan-usher/013265/). On the road at Lietkabelis, [Dogus Ozdemiroglu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/dogus-ozdemiroglu/006640/) put in a true captain’s performance with a career-high 19 points and 5 steals.

One thing that will have impressed Coach Can the most about Wednesday’s win in Lithuania was the way in which his team moved the ball, as Turk Telekom had a season-high 31 assists, just one off tying the club’s all-time record in the EuroCup.

“It was a good team performance,” Coach Can told EuroLeague TV after the game. “Everybody was really locked in. We were focused.

“We know how dangerous Lietkabelis is at home, so we prepared ourselves. I want to thank my players, really. Defensively we made some mistakes, but at the end of the day our aggressiveness was good. Offensively we shared the ball well, that was one of the keys. At the end of the day, it’s one game and there’s a long season in front of us.”

In addition to Ozdemiroglu’s 19 points, Usher reached the same total as he netted a double-digit number of points in successive games for the first time this season.

“Coach trusts me to keep playing. I had a good one tonight and I hope to keep it rolling,” he admitted. “It’s different people’s nights on different nights, so I’m glad our team is rolling. Let’s get some more wins.”

Next week will see a mouth-watering clash between the red-hot Turk Telekom and fellow Turkish League side [Besiktas GAIN Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/besiktas-gain-istanbul/bes/), which shares a 5-2 record in Group B.

U-BT Cluj-Napoca recorded a 110-86 home win over BAXI Manresa at Nove PG Arena in nearby Turda, Romania, in Round 7 of the BKT EuroCup

Learning from past issues, Cluj blasts past Manresa

One of the things that separates good teams from title contenders is their ability to recognize recurring problems and find effective solutions to them. U-BT Cluj-Napoca did exactly that on its way to a 110-86 home win over BAXI Manresa at Nove PG Arena in nearby Turda, Romania. After a near-perfect first half, Cluj playmaker [Fatts Russell](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/daron-russell/013943/) identified a potential issue and how to address it.

Cluj led 57-41 at halftime, matching the club's first-half scoring record. It had previously scored that amount in the first half of a 105-83 home loss against Prometey Slobozhanske on December 14, 2022. After leading 51-57 at the break, CLuj was outscored by Prometey 54-25 after the break.

U-BT Cluj-Napoca-BAXI Manresa | Round 7 Highlights | 2025-26 BKT EuroCup

Three players already had PIRs of 14 or better. Despite averaging 8.2 points in his previous six games, [Trey Woodbury](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/trey-woodbury/013251/) had 15 points at halftime. Russell contributed 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists by in the first two quarters. [Dusan Miletic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/dusan-miletic/009896/) added 6 points and 6 rebounds. Cluj had outrebounded Manresa 21-14 and made 13 of 19 two-pointers (68.4% 2FG), 7 of 14 three-pointers (50% 3FG), and forced 10 first-half turnovers.

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens head coach [Ergin Ataman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/ataman-ergin) would probably call this "perfect basketball," but at halftime, Russell had other ideas.

"We did a really good job. I feel like we have to cut down our turnovers but that's kind of a risk with how fast we play. As long as we keep playing defense and hold them under 40 \[points\] in the second half, we will be fine," Russell said. "We have to come out strong in the third quarter. We have been struggling in the third quarter before. If we put the emphasis on that, we will be fine."

Trey Woodbury had a career-high 26 points to lead U-Bt Cluj-Napoca to a 110-86 home victory over BAXI Manresa in Round 7 of the BKT EuroCup Regular Season. 

Woodbury has EuroCup career night against Manresa

Russell was right: Cluj saw more than half of its lead disappear in the opening 3 minutes of the second half. [Grant Golden](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/grant-golden/013849/) and [Louis Olinde](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/louis-olinde/006919/) quickly helped Manresa get within 59-53. Cluj responded through an unstoppable Woodbury, who laid the foundation for a career-best performance. The hosts' most experienced players stepped up at the right time, as [Jeffery Taylor](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/jeffery-taylor/006546/), [Patrick Richard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/patrick-richard/011801/), and Miletic quickly helped Cluj restore a 77-62 margin—more than enough to control the game until the final buzzer.

Woodbury finished the game with a career-high 26 points. Russell added 23 and Miletic tallied 10 points and 12 rebounds. The three players combined for a PIR of 75, almost as much as Manresa as a team (86). Cluj set a club record for most points in a non-overtime game. It beat Neptunas Klaipeda 102-107 earlier this season behind 37 points from Russell. It also matched a club record with 28 assists. It had that many assists in a 104-83 home victory over Veolia Towers Hamburg on January 3, 2025.

The game could have gone South for Cluj in the third quarter, but the team turned a potentially dangerous situation into a blowout win, which is a great sign in the future.

Cedevita improved to 5-2 in Group A after a smooth home win over Reyer after half a dozen home scorers finished in double figures. Umoja Gibson paced the hosts on 15 points, scoring all of them in the first half as Cedevita racked up a staggering 50 rebounds. Reyer dropped to 3-4.

A 10-3 run in the latter half of the first quarter allowed Cedevita to pull away into a 19-13 lead after the opening 10 minutes, having racked up 7 offensive boards and 15 in total. However, the visitors looked a different team early in the second as they turned the tide and jumped into a 25-30 lead, courtesy of some good shooting from downtown. A see-saw battle ensued and the home team ultimately engineered a 42-37 halftime advantage on the back Gibson, who pierced through Reyer’s defense almost at will.

Cedevita beefed up its defense in the third quarter and surged 57-44 ahead midway through the period, finding open looks on offense as the hosts went on a 12-1 run. Things went from bad to worse for Reyer as Cedevita’s lead soared to 69-51 ahead of the final 10 minutes.

London Lions ran riot over Panionios Cosmorama Travel Athens  on Wednesday night, earning the 97-72 victory.

London made the much brighter start, letting it fly from deep. Meanwhile, Panionios attempted to feed the ball inside to mixed results.

The Lions would not surrender their lead throughout, controlling every fact of the game until the very end. It quickly became a case of just how many points London would pile in. Joel Scott played the starring role, recording 6 boards to go with 18 points. He was helped by Amin Adamu and Kameron McGusty, who scored 13 and 12 respectively. Keron DeShields led Panionios with 17 points. The result moves Tautvydas Sabonis’ team to 3-4 for the season, while the visitors slide to 1-6 in their EuroCup group.

Slask compounded Hamburg’s misery by coming away with a 92-81 win on Tuesday night, which saw the Polish side improve to a 3-4 record and the German outfit remain winless through the first seven rounds. Hamburg got off to a fast start, leading for the majority of the first quarter and holding a 22-23 edge after 10 minutes. However, Slask grew into the game and was able to lead 49-46 lead into the break, then 69-65 after 30 minutes, before finally securing a 92-81 victory.

Slask’s Issuf Sanon was the game’s joint top scorer with 19 points, while the hosts also got good contributions from Jakub Urbaniak (17 points), Kadre Gray (15 points), Stefan Dordevic (14 points) and Noah Kirkwood (6 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists). Hamburg was led by the 19 points of Zacharie Perrin, followed by Justin Edler Davis with 14, LJ Thorpe with 13, Kenneth Ogbe with 12, and Niklas Wimberg with 10.

Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem erased a 14-point deficit to beat short-handed Neptunas Klaipeda 110-93 and extend its winning streak to four games in Group A thanks to a monster performance of 35 points by Cassius Winston. After 17 lead changes and 8 ties in the first half, Jerusalem grabbed control of the game with a 17-0 run spanning the final two quarters to improve to 5-3. 

Jared Harper had 21 points and 8 assists and Anthony Lamb added 17 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Neptunas, which was without the departed James Karnik as well as leader Arnas Velicka, was up to the fight for about 25 minutes but could not grab a fourth straight win and fell to 3-4. Zane Waterman (18 points) and Arnas Berucka (17) both set career highs in points in the loss.

Veolia Towers Hamburg added firepower to its backcourt by signing American guard Devon Daniels for the remainder of the season. 

Dynamic Devon Daniels is heading to Hamburg

Veolia Towers Hamburg added firepower to its backcourt by signing American guard Devon Daniels for the remainder of the season. Daniels (1.95 meters, 27 years old) is expected to arrive in Hamburg later this week and, after completing medical checks, he will join team practices.

The scorer arrives from Lithuanian side Juventus Utena, where he averaged 16.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in eight games this season. He was fourth in the league in scoring and eighth in PIR (17.5).

"We were looking hard for reinforcements at the guard positions and found the right player in Devon," head coach Benka Barloschky said. "He plays with great composure and is dangerous at the same time. He can create his own shot and also play off the ball."

Daniels’s path to Hamburg has been anything but ordinary. A versatile guard with size, he played for three different programs in high school before starting his college career at the University of Utah, where he shared the court with future NBA champion Kyle Kuzma. After a strong freshman season, Daniels transferred to North Carolina State University, where he continued to shine until a torn ACL cut short his college career.

Following recovery, Daniels tried to establish himself in the G League, but lingering effects of his injury made the transition difficult. He then moved to Europe, adapting his game in Serbia, Poland, and Greece before joining Juventus over the summer. Now, he will wear No. 21 for Hamburg and share backcourt duties with LJ Thorpe.

Round 7: Pregame quotes and injury reports

## Wednesday, November 12

### Besiktas GAIN Istanbul vs. Dolomiti Energia Trento (18:00 CET)

**Davide Dusmet, Trento assistant coach**

"Besiktas is a team with size and athleticism in every position. They have two big men we know well, Kamagate and Zizic, both of whom played key roles in the Italian league last season. At the wings, they can count on valuable players such as Connor Morgan, who has been confirmed from last season, and Vitto Brown. On the perimeter, they have a lot of talent and physicality with players like Jonah Mathews and Anthony Brown, whom we have already faced in the EuroCup in the past. It will be a difficult challenge, one that will push us to raise our standards — standards that we probably haven't maintained in recent games, conceding too much in the final minutes. This must be an opportunity to continue working on ourselves, aware that we face a challenge in which our mental and physical toughness will necessarily have to increase if we want to compete. We have done this at certain moments in our European campaign, and we will have to continue on that path: controlling rebounds better and trying to play at our own pace against a team that loves execution and often involves its big men near the basket. Finally, we will have to improve our offensive reading to attack a well-organized defense like theirs."

**Khalif Battle, Trento guard**

"Besiktas is a great team, with a history of success and important results in recent seasons. For us, it will be a great opportunity to try to win an away game, even though we know it will be a very difficult challenge. We want to see where we are as a team and bounce back after our last few games, which we definitely weren't happy with. This trip to Turkiye will be an important test. I'm happy to be back playing after my injury and I'll keep working hard to get back to 100% and help the team get some good results."

### 

### U-BT Cluj-Napoca vs. BAXI Manresa (18:00 CET)

**Mihai Silvasan, Cluj head coach**

"We’re facing a team that plays at a very high pace, just like most teams in Spain, but they really emphasize that style. They’re not in their best form right now, they’ve lost their last few games, but they have quality players who can make a difference and have a good night. On top of that, two of their players, Plummer and Olinde, are back in the lineup and played in their last game. They’re definitely a competitive team that will come here ready to fight and try to win. We have to be ready for that. We’re also playing in a new arena, but that’s not an issue, it’s a normal situation that happens to other teams as well."

**Fatts Russell, Cluj guard**

"We just have to keep sticking to our system, play hard, and fight for the win. It’s going to be a tough game because they’re playing in the ACB, which is a very strong league. We need to stay focused, do everything our coach tells us, and come out with the win. I’m feeling good, even if I'm a little banged up, but that’s how it’s going to be for the rest of the season since we’re competing in two tough leagues."

### Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana vs. Umana Reyer Venice (18:30 CET)

**Zvezdan Mitrovic, Cedevita Olimpija head coach**

"Up next is a clash with Venezia, a great team that has been playing very well recently. They’re coming to Stožice with two consecutive EuroCup wins. At the start of the season, our opponents struggled a bit, but now they’re showing their true form. They have a lot of offensive talent, a strong budget, an excellent head coach, and a well-built roster. This game will be a big challenge for us — we have only two days to recover from the game against Vienna and prepare for Wednesday’s matchup. We’ll see if any of our injured players will be able to return to the court, although I don’t really believe so — but we’ll see what happens. Right after the game with Vienna, I congratulated the guys for their effort on the court, and then we shifted our focus to Venezia. It’s going to be a very tough game because our opponents have a lot of offensive talent."

**Jaka Blazic, Cedevita Olimpija guard**

"We’re definitely already focused on the upcoming game against Venezia. Our goal is to collect as many wins as possible and secure the highest possible position in our group standings. Venezia is an excellent and very talented team, so we have to prepare well and stay focused, especially on the defensive end, if we want to get another EuroCup victory."

**Neven Spahija, Reyer head coach**

"We are facing a serious team, one that plays good basketball on both offense and defense. They are very disciplined on the court and have already proven they can win on difficult courts, so it will be a tough game. We have rested and prepared. We are going to Ljubljana with confidence, ready to play at the level we have shown lately. To win, we will need consistency on offense and we must not lose focus on defense, especially because they are a team that moves the ball very well."

**Ky Bowman, Reyer guard**

"We have to come out with great energy and play together, as one system: this is what will help us win more games. We have to do our job, on and off the court, putting into practice what we prepare in training to take another step forward. We want to continue our positive streak and win again. The energy from our recent wins must be the fuel for the next challenges. We know they will come out with a lot of aggression and physicality; we have to be ready to match that impact from the start and do our best."

**Reyer injury report:** Reyer has all of its players available.

### Lietkabelis Panevezys vs. Turk Telekom Ankara (18:45 CET)

### NINERS Chemnitz vs. Buducnost VOLI Podgorica (19:00 CET)

**Rodrigo Pastore, Chemnitz head coach**

"We are very excited about playing one of the most talented teams in the EuroCup with such a deep roster. They are arriving after a strong home performance vs Besiktas. Their offensive scoring is very well distributed and they are very discipline as a team when it comes to sharing the ball and creating the best possible shot, especially from behind the three-point arc. Keeping them out of the paint is going to be a very important aspect of our defensive strategy."

**Gavin Schilling, Chemnitz center**

"We know we’re facing a really talented team with a lot of depth and firepower. Our focus will be on matching their intensity and sticking to our defensive principles. If we play together and stay disciplined, we’ll give ourselves a great chance to win."

**Andrej Zakelj, Buducnost head coach**

"Chemnitz plays a very tough and tricky style of basketball — they have an athletic team that runs a lot, often goes one-on-one, and plays fast, physical, and aggressive. That kind of style causes problems for everyone. In the last round, they gave the top team, Bourg, a lot of trouble, which speaks volumes about their quality. We expect a really difficult opponent. Our goal and focus are clear — we want to win on the road, because if we want to stay near the top of the group, we have to win these kinds of games, and that’s what we’re working toward. We do have some injury problems, but regardless of that, we have to prepare ourselves for a physical game, match their intensity, stay focused, and try to come away with a win on the road."

**Andrija Slavkovic, Buducnost forward**

"We have a tough road game ahead against Chemnitz, a team that’s in good rhythm and plays fast, modern basketball with a lot of shooting. I have no doubt that we’ll be ready for that game. I expect a tough and demanding matchup, as is always the case in the EuroCup. I believe that with maximum focus and good preparation, we can come out as winners."

### London Lions vs. Panionios Cosmorama Travel Athens (20:30 CET)

**Ilias Zouros, Panionios head coach**

"We have another demanding game ahead of us in a high-level and ‘marathon-like’ competition such as the BKT EuroCup. Our goal is to stay together throughout the entire game, to compete as a team on both ends of the floor, and to integrate as best as possible the new players we have on our roster."

**Keron DeShields, Panionios guard**

"The coaching staff has got us prepared for this game against the London Lions. We expected to go out there and start off on a fresh start. To show what we can do as a team in the EuroCup, and show what we can do to ourselves as well. So we're prepared and we're ready to go."

**London Lions' injury report:** Ovie Soko, Shavar Reynolds and Mo Soluade are all ruled out for this game.

**Panionios's injury report:** Michalis Lountzis, Tyler Wahl and Nikos Gkikas are ruled out for this game.

## Tuesday, November 11

### ratiopharm ulm vs. Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse (19:00 CET)

**Frederic Fauthoux, Bourg head coach**

"Just like against Chemnitz last week, we expect a very intense and fast-paced game. Ulm is a physical and aggressive team, formidable at home, it’s up to us to impose our teamwork for 40 minutes to continue our good EuroCup run."

**Darius McGhee, Bourg guard**

"Ulm is a great team that’s very well coached. They also have a good fan base, so playing in their arena is going to be a great atmosphere. We have to continue to stay connected on both sides of the ball for all 40 minutes."

### Aris Thessaloniki Betsson vs. Bahcesehir College Istanbul (19:00 CET)

**Igor Milicic, Aris head coach**

"Of course, we have a challenge ahead of us. Bahcesehir is a tough team with high-level players who have excellent individual skills. They bring defensive energy and offensive rebounding to their game, which can cause us problems. They are one of the best teams in the EuroCup—if not the best—and certainly one of the favorites to win the title. However, we are focused on our own path and on how we can keep improving our game. It’s a great situation for us to play against one of the best teams, because it helps us grow and get better as well."

**Amine Noua, Aris forward**

"I'm excited and really looking forward to playing my first game in this arena. I have been without a team for the past few months, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to compete again. Bahcesehir is a very strong team with talented players. We know what we’re up against, and it will definitely be a tough and challenging game for us."

### Slask Wroclaw vs. Veolia Towers Hamburg (19:00 CET)

**Benka Barloschky, Hamburg head coach**

"We're not looking at the whole picture of 13 defeats at the moment – I'm talking to the team about the last game and the next task. I think you can see, however, that the results have caused a certain amount of uncertainty on the field. Whenever we have five players on the field who stick to our plan, we look very good. But there are still too many phases where that is not the case. We are working on minimizing that."

**Zsombor Maronka, Hamburg forward**

"Wroclaw is a good team. They have already secured two wins and are certainly very motivated to build on that after their recent defeats. We have been watching their plays over the last few days. But the main focus has been on ourselves. We need to fix our problems first – that is the most important task at the moment."

**Zacharie Perrin, Hamburg center**

"We are determined to get our first win of the season. And we will take that mentality into the game against Wroclaw. We are still confident of getting our first win. We have worked hard on ourselves and looked at their strengths. Now we have to show it on the court."

### Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem vs. Neptunas Kleipeda (20:30 CET)

\--

Cassius Winston poured in 35 points - 20 of them coming in the final 10:25 minutes - in helping Jerusalem break away from Neptunas Klaipeda 110-93 for a 5-2 record in Group A. 

Winston’s 35-point explosion carries Jerusalem to fourth straight win 

Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem relied on its offense - especially a career-night from Cassius Winston - to extend its winning streak to four games in the BKT EuroCup.

Winston poured in 35 points - 20 of them coming in the final 10:25 minutes - in helping Jerusalem break away from Neptunas Klaipeda 110-93 for a 5-2 record in Group A.

“Shout-out to the coach and my teammates for the ultimate faith to go out there and be myself and just make plays for the team, whichever way I can, whether that be scoring or passing,” said Winston, who made 12 of 16 shots - 5 of 8 from long range - and 6 of 8 free throws for his 35 points.

"They give me great responsibility and I love it. In games like this, I just go out there and try my best to help the team win.”

Winston added 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block for a PIR of 37. 

“On offense, we always find a way to score. And Cassius was amazing,” said Jerusalem head coach Yonathan Alon.

Winston easily set a career mark in points and PIR in the EuroCup - his previous bests being 13 points and a PIR of 14. But the 27-year-old guard also blew away his best marks from his one season in the EuroLeague. Winston poured in 23 points for FC Bayern Munich against Maccabi Tel Aviv on December 2, 2022, and his top PIR was 28 for Bayern versus EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on October 20, 2022.

Jerusalem, as usual, got a superb showing from Jared Harper, who collected 21 points and 8 assists, while Anthony Lamb had 17 points and 8 rebounds and Austin Wiley totaled 10 points and 9 rebounds.

The issue for Alon was his defense, which gave up 56 points in the first half and then allowed 27 points in the third quarter before finally stepping up in the fourth quarter with 10 points.

“My players decided they only wanted to play defense for 14 minutes,” Alon said. “We need to learn from this. Not every game will be like this. But we have the character and we find the way to win. So I am happy about it.”

The feelings were the same for his Neptunas counterpart Gediminas Petrauskas.

“The bench in the end probably got tired. We had some injuries today. I am really happy with the offense. Ninety-three points was good, but unfortunately, on defense, we could not get the stops,” the Neptunas playcaller said.

Neptunas was without leader Arnas Velicka and center James Karnik, who recently left the club, but it still managed to build a 14-point lead in the third quarter, going ahead 64-78 after a 2-13 run.

Jerusalem eventually wore down Neptunas with a 17-0 run spanning the final two quarters, with Winston accounting for 12 points in the decisive run.

Neptunas was unable to win a fourth straight game and fell to 3-4 despite Zane Waterman (18 points) and Arnas Berucka (17) both setting career highs in points in the loss.

Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse earned its third road win of the season on Tuesday night, defeating ratiopharm ulm 64–96 in Round 7 to improve to 6–1 in Group B. Adam Mokoka made sure his return to Ratiopharm Arena ended with the same team result as his previous visit – but with a completely different individual performance.

Adam Mokoka turns Ulm nightmare into a dream performance

[Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/cosea-jl-bourg-en-bresse/bou/) earned its third road win of the season on Tuesday night, defeating [ratiopharm ulm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/ratiopharm-ulm/ulm/) 64–96 in Round 7 to improve to 6–1 in Group B. [Adam Mokoka](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/adam-mokoka/012698/) made sure his return to Ratiopharm Arena ended with the same team result as his previous visit – but with a completely different individual performance.

The last time he played in Ulm, on January 17, 2024, while with U-BT Cluj-Napoca, nothing went right for him. He missed all five of his shots, committed a turnover and a foul, and had two of his attempts blocked, finishing with a PIR of -9 in under 12 minutes. Despite his struggles, Cluj still won the game 81–85, thanks to 27 points from club legend Patrick Richard.

Cluj didn’t return to Ulm for the 2024–25 campaign, but Mokoka did – this time with Bourg, having joined the team this past summer. When the schedule was released, he probably circled this date in red.

Mokoka made an immediate impact, finding [Kevin Kokila](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kevin-kokila/011837/) for a backdoor layup and adding a dunk during an early 0–9 run. He later finished a fast-break layup to make it 7–15, flexing his biceps as Ulm called a timeout. You could tell that his previous Ulm performance was still in the back of his mind, and this time his energy was contagious. [Both Gach](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/both-gach/013900/) and [Antony Labanca](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/antony-labanca/005266/) hit twice from downtown, and [Darius McGhee](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/mcghee-darius/013859/) buried a long three-pointer from the EuroCup logo to give Bourg a 17–28 lead after 10 minutes.

Ulm managed to cut the deficit to 31–32 midway through the second quarter before Mokoka returned after a long rest. Once again, he brought the spark—drawing four fouls in as many minutes, assisting Gach on a fast-break layup, and nailing a step-back triple to restore a 42–50 Bourg advantage. At halftime, Mokoka led all players with 13 points and a PIR of 17.

Mokoka kept showcasing his trademark energy and athleticism in the second half, continuing to draw fouls and thrilling the crowd with a fast-break slam followed by a step-back corner three at the buzzer. Bourg’s defense did the rest, holding Ulm scoreless for over six minutes. By the end of the third quarter, Bourg led 47–64 and was well on its way to a big road victory.

Mokoka finished with 23 points on a perfect 5-for-5 from two-point range and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc, plus five assists and a PIR of 32 – a new career high. In back-to-back visits to Ratiopharm Arena, he went from a career-worst PIR of -9 to a career-best 32.

“We just wanted to make sure we earned respect in this competition against a good team,” Mokoka said. “I’m glad we held them to 64 points and shared the ball to score 96. We just tried to raise our intensity and energy even more in the third quarter and make sure we kept them below what we scored in the first half.”

Bourg outscored Ulm 46–22 in the second half. No other team had ever managed such a dominant second half in Ulm’s long EuroCup history – the previous record deficit was 21 points (28–49) against Valencia Basket on January 12, 2022.

Bourg shot an incredible 81.5% from inside the arc, hitting 22 of 27 two-point attempts. That shattered the club’s previous record of 73.0% (set against Umana Reyer Venice on January 17, 2023) and ranks as the seventh-best mark in EuroCup history. The all-time record belongs to Valencia Basket, which made 21 of 24 two-pointers (87.5%) against Turk Telekom Ankara on November 14, 2018.

Bahcesehir College Istanbul got back on track in the BKT EuroCup with a strong team effort in a tough back-and-forth battle at Aris Thessaloniki Betsson with big man Balsa Koprivica making a major difference in the 76-86 road victory. 

Bahcesehir gets back on track with balance, big plays from Koprivica 

Bahcesehir College Istanbul got back on track in the BKT EuroCup with a strong team effort in a tough back-and-forth battle at Aris Thessaloniki Betsson with big man Balsa Koprivica making a major difference in the victory.

A week after suffering its first loss of the season, Marko Barac’s team survived 15 lead changes and 11 ties to win 76-86 on the road to improve to 6-1 record atop Group A.

“Every away game in EuroCup is difficult and every victory is valuable. We found a way to do better defensively, especially individually and made some open shots,” Barac said afterwards.

While Matthew Mitchell scored a team-high 16 points for Bahcesehir, Tyler Cavanaugh collected 14 points and 8 rebounds for the winners.

“It’s huge. We lost last week, so we wanted to get back on track. This competition is tough and you have to respond quickly to stay in the lead,” said Cavanaugh.

“I am just happy with the way that we battled. It was a full team effort. We didn’t shoot the ball well at all, but we stepped up and made huge plays.”

The veteran Cavanaugh also wanted to highlight the performance of big man Balsa Koprivica, who produced a loud stat line of 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks despite battling foul trouble.

“Balsa Koprivica made a lot of big plays down the stretch to help us,” Cavanaugh said.

It was one of the best games this season for the 25-year-old Serbian, who came over to the Turkish side after spending the last four seasons with Partizan Belgrade. Koprivica appeared in 36 games in the EuroLeague in that time.

He played a season-high 21 minutes against Aris and the 8 points came after totaling 15 in the last four games. He threw down four big highlight dunks along the way - three of them coming in the fourth quarter.

Koprivica was also a massive presence in the paint defensively. His 4 blocks - 2 of them in the final stanza - set a new personal EuroCup record and evened his EuroLeague-high four swats against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne on December 17, 2024.

Aris is still adjusting to new head coach Igor Milicic, who helped the team snap a three-game losing streak with a victory last week but is now 3-4,

“Any loss is very bad and heartbreaking, but we have to look at what we did well. Some things we have to improve are second-half rebounding. Offensive rebounds are killing us. And we couldn’t keep up with the physicality that they presented,” said Milicic, who saw Bryce Jones lead the way with 16 points.

“I am satisfied with the effort. We gave what we have. We are moving in the right direction.”

Bahcesehir is definitely in the right direction with high expectations, and Barac knows that coming to Thessaloniki and getting a victory there was a big deal.

“I have to praise my players for playing with 22 assists to a small number of turnovers (12). It was a very good team effort on a very difficult court,” the coach said.

The big man shone bright in the fourth quarter
