Game Notes and Facts: Ulm vs. Gran Canaria

ratiopharm Ulm v Dreamland Gran Canaria (2025-01-07T18:00:00.000Z)

The difference between three-pointers made and three-pointers allowed can shed some light on results in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

Stats review: Diving into three-point differential 

Round 19 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague saw [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/roster/red/?season=2024-25) match its win total from last season with [a narrow 75-73 road victory ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/resilient-crvena-zvezda-edges-out-baskonia-73-75/)over [Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/roster/bas/?season=2024-25) in Buesa Arena.  In a low-scoring affair, Zvezda held Baskonia to 6-of-28 shooting from beyond the arc to overcome a difficult shooting night of its own.

It is Zvezda's perimeter defense that is at the root of its improvement year-over-year along with a bit of karma as well. Last season, Zvezda allowed 38% shooting from beyond the arc when it *was* in position to close out jump shooters. This season it has allowed an outlier 25% when getting a hand up in catch-and-shoot situations. Despite returning eight contributors from last season, the club has found itself on both extremes over a two-year period. A shift in priorities and personnel has been key as it has focused on guarding the three-point line at the expense of rotations inside, but the difference has been greater than the sum of its parts and the driving force behind its success to this point.   

As the table above suggests, Zvezda is one of the five teams that has built a distinct advantage on the scoreboard from beyond the arc this season, albeit among the second tier of that group. The EuroLeague is often a make-or-miss league with many games hinging on a couple of bounces one way or the other and the Serbian club has put itself on the right side of those bounces and reaped the rewards after a season on the wrong side.

[Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/zalgiris-kaunas/roster/zal/?season=2024-25) and [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/roster/ulk/?season=2024-25) are unsurprising leaders here, though the margin they have sustained over their opponents — more than 3 makes per game — is striking. While Zvezda has done a dramatically better job contesting shots and seen the toll that takes on the rhythm shooters find on other attempts, Zalgiris and Fenerbahce often take three-point shots away entirely. The way they close out has stood out across the league this season with Zalgiris ranking second in overall defensive efficiency as it not only brings great energy to the perimeter, but manages to hold up well around the rim in spite of those efforts too.

Perhaps fittingly, Zvezda’s defensive efforts have put it on par with this season’s two more aggressive three-point shooting teams and its other biggest surprises. [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/roster/prs/?season=2024-25) and [FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/roster/mun/?season=2024-25) have fired away at a historic rate from beyond the arc this season with that strategy fueling Paris’s impressive debut campaign and Bayern’s equally impressive turnaround from a year ago. Paris is an intriguing fit here given it has shot a 15th-ranked 34% from beyond the arc to this point as it still seemingly has some room to climb.

Unsurprisingly, many teams have fallen right around even this season in three-point differential, but some of this season’s biggest surprises have been rooted in their ability to build an advantage along the arc. 

There has been a rise in post-up usage and efficiency in the EuroCup this season led by Umana Reyer Venice

Stats review: Which teams are using post play to their advantage

Round 13 of the BKT EuroCup saw [Umana Reyer Venice](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/umana-reyer-venice/roster/vnc/?season=2024-25) hand previously undefeated Valencia Basket its second straight loss to rise back into the playoff picture following some early-season struggles. One source of momentum for Reyer over the last month and a half and a contributing factor to their hard-fought victory has been their ability to play through the post.

It is no secret that modern offenses have pivoted away from post play — while only 1 of 20 teams created less than five possessions per game playing out of post-ups during the 2016-17 season, half the league has fallen under that mark this year. The driving factor in that decline has been obvious in previous seasons as teams scored just 0.86 points per post-up possession in the three years leading up to this one, making it a real challenge to justify throwing the ball inside with teams attempting and making more three-pointers.

This season has seen a renaissance on the block as teams have scored 0.97 points per post-up possession — a massive jump from recent seasons and a little higher than the league average for overall offensive efficiency. That number doesn’t even include passes out of the post, which tend to be quality looks. There’s no specific offensive approach driving the change either, both teams with the personnel to play through the post consistently and those doing so in specific instances have found significantly more success doing so to this point this year. Field goal percentages are up, turnovers are down — there are multiple factors at play.

All of that circles back to Reyer, which has nearly doubled its post usage in the stretch following its sluggish start and ascended to lead all teams in points created through post ups as the table above suggests. That covers not only the points scored in back-to-the-basket situations but those created by passes out of back-to-the-basket situations as well. 

Perhaps the least surprising team on this list is [Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/joventut-badalona/roster/jov/?season=2024-25), which has been the most consistently balanced offense in the EuroCup over the last decade. The presence of veteran [Ante Tomic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/ante-tomic/002507/) has bolstered the efficiency of those efforts in recent years and he and [Artem Pustovyi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/artem-pustovyi/004834/) have both shot over 51% on the block to rank second and first in individual post scoring, respectively, this season. 

Reyer is the only other team on this list to rival the efficiency of Joventut’s one-on-one scorers though several teams like [U-BT Cluj Napoca](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/u-bt-cluj-napoca/roster/clu/?season=2024-25) and [ratiopharm Ulm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/ratiopharm-ulm/roster/ulm/?season=2024-25) have been in the same tier on a much smaller volume of chances. [Kyle Wiltjer](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/kyle-wiltjer/008052/) has been very effective using his touch inside while [Aamir Simms](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/aamir-simms/011928/) has been a consistent weapon and [Mfiondu Kabengele](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/mfiondu-kabengele/012796/) has punished certain matchups as well. 

[Trefl Sopot](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/trefl-sopot/roster/tso/?season=2024-25) falls in the middle of the road in one-on-one efficiency but has been extremely effective passing out of the post with its shooters and finishers consistently paying off the efforts of [Geoffrey Groselle](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/geoffrey-groselle/013296/) and [Marcus Weathers](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/marcus-weathers/013297/). 

[Tyler Cavanaugh](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/tyler-cavanaugh/009601/) and [Tai Odiase](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/tai-odiase/011823/) give [Bahcesehir College Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/bahcesehir-college-istanbul/roster/bah/?season=2024-25) quality play on the interior while [Nikola Tanaskovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/nikola-tanaskovic/005637/) has been the most effective of several interior options for [Buducnost VOLI Podgorica](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/buducnost-voli-podgorica/roster/bud/?season=2024-25). Though many of the teams above rely on no fewer than two back-to-the-basket weapons for balance, the notable absence from this list, [Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/roster/hta/?season=2024-25), relies almost exclusively on [Johnathan Motley](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/johnathan-motley/011157/). Motley leads the EuroCup scoring or creating over 6 points per game out of the post and that has accounted for close to three-quarters of the team’s post-production when he’s been active. 

Post play may never regain the real estate it held in professional basketball even a decade ago, but it has made a notable comeback in the EuroCup this season and that’s a trend worth keeping an eye on moving forward.

Despite several backcourt absences and a three-game losing streak, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul did not let its fans down in this Istanbul derby against Anadolu Efes

Fenerbahce turns problem into opportunity 

[Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/roster/ulk/?season=2024-25) opened 2025 with a statement victory, [downing Anadolu Efes Istanbul 84-76](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-downs-efes-in-rivalry-series-matchup-84-76/) at Ulker Sports and Event Hall. Despite several backcourt absences and a three-game losing streak with some ugly performances, Fenerbahce did not let its fans down in this derby. In fact, [Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/jasikevicius-saras/?season=E2024)'s team played one of its best defensive games of the season.

Efes was limited to 36 second-half points. After the break, the visiting team made just 2 of 12 shots from beyond the arc and dished just 3 assists. Despite being without [Wade Baldwin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/wade-baldwin-out-with-hamstring-injury/), [Arturs Zagars](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/arturs-zagars-fenerbahce-beko-foot-injury/) and [Scottie Wilbekin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-confirms-the-worst-scottie-wilbekin-has-torn-his-acl/), many players stepped up and stood out in this important game, in which Fenerbahce also grabbed the potential head-to-head tie-break advantage over Efes.

[Skylar Mays](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/skylar-mays/013396/) had his first start after coming off the bench in his previous 12 EuroLeague apperances. He tallied 9 points and a PIR of 11 after previously averaging 3.2 points and a PIR of 2.2. Mays was not the only player to take a step forward as [Marko Guduric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/marko-guduric/004004/), [Devon Hall](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/devon-hall/011205/) and [Tarik Biberovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tarik-biberovic/006961/) all had extraordinary performances.

Marko Guduric of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in Round 19 against Anadolu Efes Istanbul.

Guduric's all-around performance in Round 19

Guduric had a superb all-around performance with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists (matching his career-best) and a season-high PIR of 30. Hall also contributed 11 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 0 turnovers. Hall and Guduric combined for 13 of the team's 19 assists against just 9 turnovers.

"We struggled lately. We had to come out and try to defend our home court. And we played a lot of times against Efes, so we know them pretty well," Guduric said after the game. "I think we did a good job defensively. We were talking a lot about defense throughout the week. I think defensively we were good and it's good to start the new year with the win, definitely."

Biberovic did what he does best: shoot the ball effectively. He made 5 of 8 three-pointers on his way to 17 points, which matched his best scoring effort of the season.

Tarik Biberovic buried 5 three-pointers in Round 19.

Biberovic shoots the light out in Round 19

"I shoot and shoot, you know what I say, I never lose my confidence. Today I felt great, and that's all I can say. I'm just focused on my team, to be honest, not on my performance," Biberovic.

Both Guduric and Biberovic highlighted their team's defensive effort in the second half. And as it often happens, defense led to a fluid offense in which all of the available perimeter players contributed.

"At halftime, we talked about it. We had to be more physical defensively and tried to convert those stops in points in the second half and we succeeded in that," Biberovic said. "We were way better defensively, way more physical. We started switching and [Khem \[Birch\]](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/khem-birch/007182/) was doing a great job defensively on the smalls, and the guards were boxing out. We really did what coach wanted and this is the result."

"I think it comes from defense, just getting stops and running in fastbreak, being aggressive, having that driving mentality. We always talk about it and that's it," Guduric concluded.

Without its three main ballhandlers, Fenerbahce found answers from its healthy guards
