Turkish duo Okben Ulubay and Ismail Cem Ulusoy both impressed as Turk Telekom Basketbol defeated U-BT Cluj-Napoca 95-84 in Round 10 of the 2023-24 EuroCup season.

It was just last season that Turk Telekom Ankara reached the EuroCup Final, yet heading into [Tuesday evening’s Round 10 clash with U-BT Cluj-Napoca](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/turk-telekom-basketbol-gets-back-on-the-right-track-against-ubt-cluj-napoca-95-84/), the team found itself with a very disappointing 1-8 record.

Some of Turk Telekom’s star summer signings took to the court against Cluj, but it was two domestic recruits, [Okben Ulubay](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/okben-ulubay/005000/) and [Ismail Cem Ulusoy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/ismail-cem-ulusoy/004801/), that helped the team get back on the right track.

Turk Telekom Ankara duo Okben Ulubay and Ismail Cem Ulusoy were among the team's best performers in a 95-84 win against U-BT Cluj-Napoca in Round 10 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season.

Ulubay, Ulusoy impressed vs. Cluj

### Shining in the shadows

Turk Telekom ended up coming away with a 95-84 triumph, ending a seven-game losing streak and downing a Cluj side that was an impressive 7-2 prior to Round 10. During the win, Ulubay and Ulusoy chipped in with 12 points apiece, netting a total of 5 triples between them.

The likes of Tyrone Wallace, Steven Enoch and James Palmer understandably generated a lot of excitement among fans of not only Turk Telekom but the EuroCup when they landed in Ankara last summer, however things have not quite gone to plan so far this season.

Turk Telekom, which now has Selcuk Ernak in the hot seat after the dismissal of Nenad Canak after Round 3, has perhaps at last managed to turn a corner. What’s more, with Turkish players like Ulubay and Ulusoy both stepping up to the plate in much the same way as Erkan Yilmaz and Ridvan Oncel last season, it should add a better balance to the team.

That is not to say that Turk Telekom’s star players are not important – of course not – but having more variety to the team’s play should allow Wallace, Enoch, Palmer, Jalen Adams and more to have more success this season, following a horrific first half of the campaign.

Against Cluj, Ulubay and Ulusoy both hit crucial shots in moments to keep the visitors at bay, and their no-fear approach ended up having a positive effect on their teammates. Now, it will be interesting to see if the Turkish duo can once again rise to the occasion as Turk Telekom looks to fulfil its potential in the remainder of this season.

JL Bourg-en-Bresse came away with a 63-72 win from its Round 10 clash against WKS Śląsk Wrocław, which improved Frederic Fauthoux’s side to an 8-2 record.

JL Bourg capitalized on Śląsk Wrocław turnovers to secure fourth straight win

Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse [took to the Hala Orbita court on Tuesday night](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/jl-bourg-en-bresse-beats-an-undermanned-slask-wroclaw-63-72/) looking to extend its winning streak to four games. Frederic Fauthoux’s side saw Dusan Miletic open the scoring in the first quarter, but that was Slask Wroclaw’s only lead in a game that Bourg ended up winning 63-72.

The guests were in cruise control throughout all four quarters and made the most of their second-chance opportunities and Slask’s turnovers to seal a road victory. In fact, Bourg scored 22 points off turnovers and another 16 second-chance points. This is more than half of the guests’ 72 points, as Bourg outscored Slask in each of the first three quarters: 16-20, 17-22 and 15-16.

Since grabbing its first EuroCup road win in 16 years, Slask seek further momentum at home against a Bourg outfit that has enjoyed an impressive first-half of the regular season thus far. Can the Polish side spring another surprise or will the guests claim another feat for 23/24?

### Bourg did enough to grab the win

Coming into the game without key players Kendale McCullum and Jakub Niziol, Slask made a gigantic effort to stay close but finally succumbed to a superior Bourg side. Coach Fauthoux admitted that this was not Bourg’s best game so far this season, but stressed that it was his team’s third road duel in a row across all competitions, something that may have affected the players physically and mentally.

“It wasn’t a good game, maybe because Slask had lots of injured players, maybe because it’s the third game on the road \[for us\] and we hadn’t come back home in the last eight days,” Fauthoux said during the post-game press conference.

Despite heading into Tuesday’s clash as the team averaging the third-least offensive rebounds (8.9), the second-least defensive boards (22.7) and the least total rebounds (31.6), Bourg managed to better its figures in all three categories. The visitors finished the game with 35 total rebounds, 25 defensive and 10 offensive, which was a huge boost in their bid to dictate the tempo of the game.

Bourg will finally return to Ekinox on Wednesday, when it takes on Dolomiti Energia Trento in Round 11 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup season. The French side is currently unbeaten at home (5-0) and it will look to extend its winning streak to five games when Trento comes to town.

BC Prometey almost gave up its big lead to Hamburg Towers, but a timely intervention from head coach Ronen Ginzburg put his side back on track.

Timely BC Prometey timeout shattered Hamburg Towers’ comeback

Prometey Slobozhanske seemed to have its [BKT EuroCup Round 10 game against Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/bc-prometey-dominates-hamburg-towers-on-the-road-83-97/) totally under control when it entered the fourth quarter. The Ukrainian team led 54-74 at that moment and even had a 20-point margin, 66-86, with less than 6 minutes remaining.

Ronen Ginzburg’s side had showed much more power than its opponent to that point, as Hamburg had only enjoyed one short lead, 5-6, early in the game. From then on, Prometey encountered very few difficulties along the way as it opened a double-digit lead, even above the 20 point-mark in the second half (43-66 after 26 minutes).

“Compared to the previous game we played against them, we didn’t let them run on the fastbreak as much,” said Prometey center Ondrej Balvin after the game when asked his team’s superiority in the first part of the contest. “In the first game \[in Round 1\] we had big problems against that, but this time we able to manage it and we also covered our defensive rebounds better.”

### A late Hamburg comeback

But, when it seemed the outcome was sealed, the home team reacted, switching its defenses from man-to-man to zone, slowing Prometey down and punishing its opponent with a 15-2 run that made it a new game, 81-88, with 3 minutes left.

“I think we relaxed for a little bit,” Balvin explained. “They started making shots and good plays. We just needed to rest and get back in the game. And in the moment when Coach \[Ginzburg\] took the timeout, he spoke to us and we managed to handle it.”

Lowly Hamburg look to boost its faint playoffs ambitions against a Prometey team placed just outside the all-important top six. The hosts may try to compete through the outside shooting prowess of Aljami Durham, whereas the Ukrainians hope to exploit inside dominance via Yvacheslav Bobrov.

It was a turning point, as Balvin revealed, because after the timeout Hamburg could not score a single field goal. What’s more, the hosts ended up giving up a triple and a couple of buckets to Rob Gray, as well as a pair of free throws to Ronald March, which all but finished the job.

“We just lost focus on defense and on offense. We made mistakes, too many turnovers,” commented Coach Ginzburg. “On offense we were a little bit shaky, we let them three-point shots. I just calmed them down and, you know, tried to organize the game. And we did it.”

London Lions fight for a hard-earned win at Reyer Venezia, 91-95

The London Lions continued their momentum in the BKT EuroCup by defeating Umana Reyer Venice 91-95 at Palasport Taliercio on Tuesday night. With its fifth straight win in the EuroCup, London improved to 8-2 overall and 5-0 on the road, while Reyer fell to a 4-6 record.

Gabe Olaseni paced London with a 23-point, 12-rebound double-double, with the Lions also having Matt Morgan score 19, Jordan Taylor net 13, Conor Morgan add 11 and Tarik Phillip contribute 10. Sam Dekker had 7 points but was ejected midway through the third quarter after picking up a technical foul, having been called for an unsportsmanlike foul earlier in the game. For Reyer, Rayjon Tucker finished with a team-high 20 points, followed by 17 apiece for Barry Brown and Kyle Wiltjer, 14 for Aamir Simms and 12 for Jordan Parks.

Game News

### Reyer raced out to a fast start

Tucker began the game at a different speed to everyone else, scoring all of Reyer's first 10 points as the hosts opened a 10-4 lead. When Jordan Parks dunked in transition after Marco Spissu stole the ball from Donte Grantham, 12-4, London head coach Petar Bozic immediately called a timeout. Matt Morgan gave the Lions a boost with 5 points on successive London possessions, 14-9, before draining a three a minute later to make it 18-15. Dekker was then called for an unsportsmanlike foul, with Tucker missing the technical free throw before knocking down a pair from the line, 20-15. By the end of first 10 minutes, Reyer led 30-25 as it managed to keep London at arm's length.

### London refused to let Reyer pull away

Reyer used the early part of the second quarter to create a sizeable gap, 35-26, but London kept finding ways to put points on the board, with Josh Sharma scoring a layup and Matt Morgan netting a layup off a pretty Conor Morgan assist, 35-30. The hosts made it a 12-point ballgame following a layup by Wiltjer and 5 straight points by Brown, 42-30, but Olaseni began to punish Reyer inside, cutting it to 45-41 with 3:30 left. Parks pushed the lead back to 8 points, 49-41, but a strong finish to the half by London made it a 2-point ballgame at the break, 51-49.

With the first score of the second half, London went ahead as Olaseni converted a three-point play, 51-52. Olaseni followed with a layup, before Matt Morgan went 1-for-2 from the line, Olaseni drained both free throws and Matt Morgan went a perfect 3-for-3 to make it a 51-60 difference and a 0-11 run to start the second half. Wiltjer caught fire from deep, hitting 3 straight threes to trim the gap, 60-64, then Dekker was ejected with 5:08 remaining after being hit with a technical for his complaints over a call. Reyer retook the lead on a couple of occasions, but Taylor stepped up in the final 31 seconds with 4 points, 69-72, before Brown responded with a triple, 72-72.

### Going ahead for good

Sharma scored a layup off a Taylor assist, 72-74, to open the fourth quarter, then Brown responded to make it 74-74. Disappointingly for London, Grantham went down injured on that play and had to be helped off to the side; he didn't return to the game. When Conor Morgan knocked down a triple to set a 74-77 score, London would never trail – or even find itself level – the rest of the way. Kareem Queeley came up with an important three-point play, 74-80, and a mixture of Taylor, Olaseni and Conor Morgan kept London charging the rest of the way. Reyer had a chance to make things interesting late, following a Simms layup that made it 88-90, but Taylor hit back with a three, 88-93. Then, after an Olaseni layup, 90-95, Tucker went 1-of-3 from the charity stripe with 16 seconds left and London did enough to hold on for a 91-95 triumph, its fifth straight in the EuroCup.

Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse extended its winning streak to four games after beating Slask Wroclaw 63-72 at Hala Orbita in Round 10 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup season. The visitors were in control of the game from start to finish against a Slask side that took to the court without star players Kendale McCullum and Jakub Niziol. Bourg improved to an 8-2 record, while Slask dropped to 2-8.

Isiaha Mike paced the winning side with 16 points and Jeremy Morgan added 12. As for the hosts, Dusan Miletic scored a game-high 20 points, while Hassani Gravett netted 14.

### Bourg took control early

Miletic opened the scoring with a reverse layup, but Bourg went on a 0-11 run to take an early 9-point lead. Daniel Golebiowski sank a corner three to end the guests’ momentum and bring Slask within 5-11. Bryce Brown knocked one down from behind the arc and Zaccharie Risacher scored his first points of the night to give Bourg a 7-16 cushion. Slask responded with a 9-2 run, but Bourg managed to take a 16-20 lead into the second quarter.

Brown knocked down a transition three before netting a jumper to take his tally to 8 first-half points.

### Slask couldn't make things tough for Bourg

Bourg was up 33-42 heading into the second half. Miletic and Mike exchanged triples, with the latter also scoring a tough basket for a 36-49 Bourg lead. A Gravett triple was followed by a Miletic dunk to bring Slask within 41-51.

Then, Godwin Omenaka scored back-to-back buckets for a 48-58 Bourg cushion.

BC Prometey came out on top against the Hamburg Towers, 83-97, in Round 10 of the 2023-24 EuroCup season.

BC Prometey dominates Hamburg Towers on the road, 83-97

Prometey Slobozhnske bounced back from its road loss against Joventut Badalona last week by clinching an 83-97 win against Veolia Towers Hamburg in Round 10 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup season at [Edel-Optics.De](http://Edel-Optics.De) Arena on Tuesday night. The visitors nudged ahead early and grabbed a double-digit advantage in the first period, then maintained its lead the rest of the way.

Prometey, which improved to 5-5, had six players in double figures, with Ondrej Balvin leading the way with 15 points and 8 rebounds. Ronald March scored 14 points, Rob Gray netted 13, Illia Sydorov had 12 and 5 assists, and Oleksandr Lypovyy, Tai Odiase and Gian Clavell finished with 11, 10 and 10, respectively. Lukas Meisner posted 16 points and 7 boards, William Christmas scored 16 and William King chipped in 12 for Hamburg, which fell to 1-9.

### Prometey took the reins early

Sydorov and Odiase combined for the first 8 points of the guests, good for a 5-8 edge after 4 minutes. Prometey showed a great balance offensively, with as many as five different players scoring as the visitors increased their advantage to 7-14 midway through the first period. Hamburg found some relief from outside, with Mark Hughes running the show to keep things tight, 12-16. The visitors kept pushing, though, and escaped with a 14-26 lead when Lypovyyand Clavell connected on back-to-back triples soon. Niklas Krause came to the rescue with 5 points in a row, including a buzzer-beating triple that closed the first quarter with Prometey leading 19-26.

### Balvin helped Prometey escape

Krause remained hot from deep after the break to make it 22-28, but Prometey found a reliable inside scoring source in Balvin, who netted 8 points in a row to return a double-digit advantage, 24-36, for the visitors. Hamburg tried to halt Prometey’s rhythm with a timeout, but it didn’t work as expected. Lypovyy nailed his second three to spark a 0-9 run that increased the gap to 27-45. Even though Christmas broke the trend with 4 straight points, the guests didn’t stop punishing their opponents from both inside and outside, eventually closing the first half with a dominant 35-52 advantage.

### Prometey dug deeper

In the same way he did at the beginning of the game, Sydorov took control early and fed Odiase twice to make it a 19-point margin, 37-56, right after the intermission. Hamburg seemed to have found some offensive momentum, but it couldn’t prevent Prometey from staying in its groove. Agada found the basket on consecutive offense possessions and Bobrov followed to launch Prometey into a 20-point lead right before a TV timeout. March made it even wider, 43-66, with a triple right after. Both squads swapped baskets after that, which allowed the visitors to reach the end of the third quarter with a comfortable 54-74 lead

### Hamburg scared Prometey, but fell short

Despite its difficulties, Hamburg didn’t give up and started the fourth quarter with renewed energy. A 6-0 run made it a 14-point game and resulted in a timeout being called by the visitors. Lypovyy looked to ruin Hamburg's hopes by drilling a three-pointer that shifted the momentum, while Clavell followed that up with a strike from downtown to restore a plus-20 margin, 61-82. Hamburg tried again by switching from man-to-man to zone defense on some of Prometey’s offenses, which started to pay off. A 15-2 run capped by 3 consecutive three-pointers reduced the difference to 81-88 with less than 3 minutes remaining, making it a new game. Prometey stayed calm, though, as a triple by Gray suffocated the home team's reaction at the right time. Then, a big block by Balvin and a couple of free throws by March put the game to bed.

Türk Telekom Basketbol ended its seven-game losing streak by beating U-BT Cluj-Napoca 95-84 in Round 10 of the 2023-24 EuroCup season.

Türk Telekom Basketbol gets back on the right track against U-BT Cluj-Napoca, 95-84

Turk Telekom Ankara got back to winning ways for the first time since Round 2 by beating U-BT Cluj-Napoca 92-80 at Ankara Spor Salonu in Round 10 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season. With this victory on Tuesday evening, Turk Telekom improved to 2-8, while dropped to 7-3.

James Palmer paced Turk Telekom with a season-high 24 points, while he also had 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in a very complete performance. Tyrone Wallace contributed 15 points, Steven Enoch added 14, and both Okben Ulubay and Ismail Ulusoy chipped in with 12. For Cluj, Patrick Richard and Andrija Stipanovic scored a team-high 15 points apiece, followed by D.J. Seeley with 13, Karel Guzman and Jarell Eddie with 12 each, and Emanuel Cate with 11.

### A strong start by Turk Telekom

Turk Telekom scored the first basket of the game through Saybir, 2-0, just 13 seconds into the contest before a back and forth ensued between the two teams. There was very little separating Turk Telekom and Cluj, with the score 10-11 with 5:22 remaining, but a late surge by the hosts, led by Palmer, resulted in a 26-18 margin after 10 minutes.

### Turk Telekom kept Cluj at arm's length

One aspect of Turk Telekom's approach that was particularly noticeable was its determination to go inside, with its big men enjoying plenty of success close to the rim. Yet, despite trailing for the entire quarter, Cluj never allowed Turk Telekom to pull away, as the visitors relied on their three-point shooting. Eddie made it a 1-point game, 33-32, after striking from deep, but a four-point play by Palmer later helped Turk Telekom extend its lead to 9 points, 50-41. At halftime, though, it was only a 5-point difference following a Guzman triple.

### Cluj managed to level things up... just

After the interval, Cluj kept fighting and regularly stayed close to Turk Telekom, with Guzman's corner three making it a 1-point ballgame once again, 55-54. But, Turk Telekom always seemed to have a response. Ulusoy scored a couple of three-pointers on successive Turk Telekom possessions to make it 66-59 with 1:21 left before the fourth quarter, but a crazy 10.9-second period saw Cluj level the scoreboard at 66-66 with 20 seconds remaining after a quick Stipanovic dunk and a Bryce Jones steal that led to a Seeley three-pointer. After 30 minutes, there was nothing to separate the two teams, 66-66.

### Turk Telekom put its foot on the gas

Although Cluj once again kept it close at the beginning of the final period, largely thanks to its ability to get to the free-throw line, Turk Telekom began to take over the contest thanks to Palmer, Wallace and Ulubay. With 6:39 left, Wallace's floater gave the hosts an 8-point lead, 77-69, before Saybir blocked Adam Mokoka and Palmer got out in transition for a layup, 79-69. Cluj kept fighting, but Ulubay appeared with two three-pointers on back-to-back Turk Telekom possessions to create the biggest lead of the game, 85-74. The rest of the way, Turk Telekom's players kept their cool from the line and eventually came away with a 95-84 triumph, just their second in the EuroCup this season.
