EuroCup Fantasy Challenge: Round 6 winner

Paris Basketball, one of five newcomers in this year's 7DAYS EuroCup, has won back-to-back games for the first time this season after downing Veolia Towers Hamburg 87-84. Curiously, this victory is also the team's first-ever EuroCup triumph at Halle Georges Carpinter, having lost to Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv and Gran Canaria on its home floor in Rounds 2 and 4, respectively.

 

The first half against Hamburg did not go to plan for Paris head coach Will Weaver, as his team trailed 33-43 but had played well below the level it had demonstrated in recent games. Star point guard Kyle Allman was scoreless at the break, yet 21-year-old sensation Ismael Kamagate showed what he is capable of with 8 points and 11 rebounds. Nevertheless, Paris needed more.

It is unclear what Coach Weaver said to his players during the interval, but Paris – led by Allman – came out with a different level of intensity in the third quarter. In fact, between 9:27 and 5:37 in the third, Allman scored 12 points and helped Paris turn the game around, giving his team its first lead of the night, 49-48. While Kamagate was making plenty of noise in the paint, the emergence of Allman in the game helped Paris get back on track.

 

"In the beginning of the second half, our starting group brought the kind of energy that we needed to begin the game," admitted Coach Weaver afterwards. "It took us a while to get going, but we will always go as that starting group goes. They brought it and the rest of the team fed on that energy, and we were able to use it to get a lead."

Game News

After that spell of fast offense from Allman, he quietened down. Yet, the likes of Juhann Begarin and Amar Gegic began to show what they are capable of, all while Kamagate continued to be a force on the interior. In the game's closing stages, with Paris needing to stave off a comeback attempt by Hamburg, it felt fitting that it was Allman and Kamagate that played key roles in the win.

First, Allman went 1-of-2 from the free-throw line with 14 seconds remaining to put Paris three points ahead, 87-84, before stepping up with a defensive play by blocking Kendale McCullum's shot with 6.5 seconds left on the clock. Then, with the last play of the game, McCullum's three-point attempt was off the mark and collected by Kamagate, who recorded his 19th rebound of the night.

Not only was it a historic night for Kamagate, who equaled Ondrej Balvin for the third-highest number of rebounds in a EuroCup game with 19, but it was also a memorable evening for Paris, as it is finally off the mark at home in its debut EuroCup campaign. This win improved its regular-season record to 4-2, good enough for fifth spot in the standings and comfortably in the playoff picture.

Paris keeps momentum going with first-ever home win

For the first time this season, London Lions have managed to win consecutive games. On Wednesday, the Lions bested Slask Wroclaw 97-80 at home. A good start to the first and fourth quarters made the difference in the game. 

Slask only led after the opening basket. After that, Sam Dekker hit a one-handed jumper in the lane which Luke Nelson followed with a three-pointer off a steal. It was the start of a 14-0 run in which Dekker made a triple off a dribble and Nelson added another bomb from downtown for a 14-2 London lead. Slask improved its defense and slowly but steadily returned to the game, trailing 48-45 at halftime and 68-63 at the end of the third quarter. 

London Lions had a 14-0 run in the first quarter of its Round 6 game against Slask Wroclaw, and added a 13-0 run at the start of the fourth period.

London's big runs against Slask

Just when London seemed to show weakness, it brought out its best version, playing physical at both ends of the floor. Aaron Best rescued the hosts with a put-back layup that Dekker followed with a three-point play. Those two baskets sparked a 13-0 run in which Miye Oni dazzled the crowd with a spectacular coast-to-coast dunk. After that run, London led 81-63 and was well on its way to a 97-80 victory. 

Basketball is a game of runs and London showed that when things go its way, it can be one of the most dangerous teams in the competition. When its defense works, London has enough scorers to make just about anything happen.

London started strong, finished stronger

Frutti Extra Bursaspor had to battle hard to beat U-BT Cluj-Napoca 95-80 in Round 6 to go up to 4-2 in Group A. The game was tied, 42-42, at halftime. What did Bursaspor change once it returned from the locker room?

At halftime, Cluj was outrebounding Bursaspor 15-17 and had dished 13 assists - which were 3 more than its opponent. Bursaspor outrebounded Cluj 20-10 after the break, pulling down 9 offensive rebounds and allowing Cluj to get just 7 defensive boards. Such second-half dominance allowed Bursaspor to win the battle of the boards 36-27, only allowing Cluj, an excellent offensive rebounding team, to get 7 of those.

Bursaspor finished the game with 20 assists and also 13 steals, a new club record. David Dudzinski had 4 steals while Derek Needham and Ahmet Duverioglu each collected 3. Cluj had 23 assists, but committed 18 turnovers, while finishing the game with 7 steals. Both teams had the same team PIR at halftime, 49, but the final difference (112-85) says enough about Bursaspor's second-half physicality and hunger.

### Will Weaver, Paris Basketball head coach

"I don't spend a lot of energy worrying, I'm trying to think about the next possession and how I can help us score or stop them from scoring. Credit to Hamburg. Obviously both teams were missing players, but for those young kids to come in here and play the way that they did, I don’t think there's any doubt that they've got a bright future with the number of young talent they have on their team.

"In the beginning of the second half, our starting group brought the kind of energy that we needed to begin the game. It took us a while to get going, but we will always go as that starting group goes. They brought it and the rest of the team fed on that energy, and we were able to use it to get a lead."

### Ismael Kamagate, Paris Basketball center

"It feels really good \[to get our first home win\]. We showed character, we showed energy, we showed togetherness, so it was a great game, a great way to come back and we did the job.

"We didn't panic because we know our strengths and our abilities, so we just need to trust the work we do on the court – and it works. We have just got to be better, keep working, and it will be a great season.

"I didn’t look at the numbers \[after getting a double-double\], but I try to grab rebounds to find my open teammates and be a very good weapon to the team."

### Raoul Korner, Veolia Towers Hamburg head coach

"I'm very proud of the spirit of my team, with all the different circumstances and missing three important players. I think we did what we could. In the third quarter, we let them off the hook a little bit – that was probably decisive – but we didn't give up and made it a tough fight. That's all you can ask for.

"I hope we get some players back \[next week\], otherwise it's going to be tough. The guys showed that they have the right spirit, and with the right spirit you can win."

Coach Weaver, Paris: 'Our starters brought the energy we needed'

Paris Basketball secured its first-ever home win in the 7DAYS EuroCup on Wednesday night after grabbing an 87-84 victory over Veolia Towers Hamburg at Halle Georges Carpinter. This triumph moves Paris up to 4-2, while Hamburg is now 2-4 on the season.

Six Paris players had a double-digit scoring night against Hamburg, but Amar Gegic and Kyle Allman led the way with 18 and 16 points, respectively. Allman was scoreless at halftime, but he exploded in the third quarter to put Paris in control of the game. Yet, the man everyone will be talking about afterwards is Ismael Kamagate, who had a 12-point, 19-rebound double-double. His tally of 19 rebounds is tied for the third highest-ever total in a 7DAYS EuroCup game. Yoeli Child scored a team-high 17 points for Hamburg, while Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann recorded a double-double after finishing with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Paris was slow getting out of the blocks and trailed for the entirety of the first quarter. Hamburg opened up a lead as big as 13 points, 7-20, before the hosts pulled it back a little, 12-22, after the first 10 minutes of play. Despite having just nine players available on Wednesday night, Hamburg took advantage of Paris's shooting struggles to open up a 20-point lead, 14-34, at the 7:15-minute mark in the second quarter. Paris ended up going into halftime down 10, 33-43, after a smart inbound play led to Juhann Begarin scoring a two-pointer, but the hosts needed Allman to step up in the second half. With the first two quarters in the books, Allman had a total of 0 points. Meanwhile, Kamagate was already on his way towards getting a double-double after having 8 points and 11 rebounds at the break. Having had the chance to reset, the Paris players came out particularly motivated in the third quarter, blowing Hamburg away by outscoring the visitors 34-15. In particular, Allman came to the fore with 12 points in the first 4:23 minutes, with the last of those points giving Paris the lead, 49-48. Paris continued its momentum into the start of the fourth quarter, going 72-60 ahead thanks to an Allman three-pointer, but Hamburg continued to stay in the game and made things particularly interesting in the final couple of minutes. The visitors twice drew level – 84-84 with 1:35 remaining and 86-86 with 0:31 left – but a free throw from Allman and another rebound by Kamagate, his 19th of the night, ensured that Paris grabbed its first win this season at Halle Georges Carpinter.

Paris leans on strong third quarter to beat Hamburg, 87-84

Heading into Wednesday’s Group B showdown at the BLM Group Arena, the chances of Dolomiti Energia Trento edging a low-scoring win over Gran Canaria did not look high. 

 

After all, explosive Gran Canaria came into the game averaging a league-high 87 points per game, while struggling Trento’s winless record was largely explained by the fact that the Italian team had allowed 86.8 points per game, the worst defensive record in Group B. 

But on Wednesday night Trento turned the form book on its head with a vastly improved defensive effort to secure its first win, 75-72, restricting Gran Canaria to its lowest-scoring night of the season by a full 10 points.

 

After the game, victorious head coach Emanuele Molin stated that his team’s ambition was to limit Gran Canaria’s three-point shooting and force the visitors into turnovers. That gameplan certainly came to fruition, with the Spanish team making just 9 of 31 attempts from long-range (29%) and committing 20 turnovers – much worse than its overall season stats of 38.7% for threes and 14.2 turnovers.

The victory was even more welcome for Trento because it ended an extremely long losing streak in the 7DAYS EuroCup, stretching back more than a year to November 17, 2021, and an 81-77 victory over Slask Wroclaw in Round 5 of last season’s competition. Since then Trento had lost 17 consecutive games in the competition, so it’s understandable that there were plenty of nerves floating around the BLM Group Arena in the final few seconds.

 

Such tight and nervous victories can also require a dose of fortune, and Trento certainly had that in the decisive stages. With 21 seconds remaining and the home side leading 73-71, Trento had possession but Diego Flaccadori turned it over, giving Andrew Albicy a direct route to the basket. 

Albicy drew a foul from Trent Lockett on the way up to shoot, but his attempted layup rolled around and out, meaning he had the chance to tie the game from the line. Albicy is a decent free throw shooter, making 76.8% of his foul shots over the course of his seven-season EuroCup career, but on this occasion, he missed the first to keep Trento ahead. 

 

There was still time for Trento to survive another scare: with Gran Canaria needing a three-pointer to tie the game and force overtime, John Shurna’s shot on the final buzzer was no good, and Trento’s first win was finally assured.

 

So it took a little luck and some missed opportunities by the opponent, but mostly it took an excellent defensive effort. That showed the path for Molin’s men to follow, and with plenty of games remaining, there’s every chance their season could be transformed.

Trento leaned on defense to end year-long wait for win

### [London Lions 97-80 Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/london-lions-slask-wroclaw/U2022/57/)

London recorded its second consecutive victory in Group B by downing Slask 97-80 at The Copperbox Arena to improve to 3-3 in the standings. It marked the first time London has won back-to-back games in the EuroCup. Sam Dekker led the winners with 18 points and Luke Nelson scored 16. Jeremiah Martin netted 19 points for Slask, which dropped to 0-6 and is the only team without a win in Group B.

Trento gained its first win of the season by toppling high-flying Gran Canaria, 75-72, in a thriller. Trento improved to 1-5 while Gran Canaria dropped to 4-2. There was little to choose between the teams in the first half, and Gran Canaria led 34-38 at the interval.

Matteo Spagnolo led Trento with 13 points, while Flaccadori and Trent Lockett scored 12. Gran Canaria big man Khalifa Diop excelled in defeat, scoring 21 points.
