Cowan and Andrews shined for hungry Wolves against hapless Joventut

Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius staged a major upset in Round 4 of the BTK EuroCup when the Lithuanian side romped to [an emphatic 63-86 win at Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/wolves-roar-back-to-sink-joventut-63-86-claiming-first-win-of-the-season/), sending shockwaves through the competition.

It was a stellar night for [Anthony Cowan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/anthony-cowan-jr/012003/), who capped a memorable individual performance with a game-high 26 points, shooting 6 of 8 from the floor (4 of 6 from three-point range) and 10 of 10 from the foul line.

[Andrew Andrews](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/andrew-andrews/011248/) came back to haunt former club Joventut with 17 points, including some clutch triples which allowed the visitors to open up an insurmountable lead in the second half after edging ahead 35-36 at the interval.

Cowan acknowledged that Wolves were hungry for their first win of the season after losing their opening three games.

“We wanted to show that we are a winning team and that we’ve got a lot more to give,” the sharpshooting guard said in a post-game courtside interview. “A lot more games to go, but we wanted this one.” 

Vilnius head coach Alessandro Magro was just as pleased with a turnaround in his team’s approach. “We lacked energy and effort in the previous games and we wanted to put that right,” he commented. “I am really happy that everybody who stepped on the court started from that point. I hope this is just the first step in the process as we trust ourselves in what we are doing.”

Wolves drained 11 three-pointers in total and 6 of them in the third quarter, when they raced clear into a 50-64 lead, having also hit 17 of 34 from two-point range and 19 of 22 from the foul line.

In contrast, Joventut endured a horrid shooting night as the hosts made only 13 of 31 shots from two-point territory, 7 of 24 from downtown and 16 of 25 free throws, having also committed 15 turnovers. The tepid performance prompted coach Dani Miret to pour scorn on his players.

“We had a very bad second half as we created nothing on offense,” he said. “They dominated us with their physicality and ideas, but the worst thing is how we finished the game. Total lack of focus and effort in the last few minutes.”

The visitors steamrolled their Spanish rival in the second half after dominating every department of a lop-sided contest

Jared Harper was the star man for Hapoel Jerusalem as it defeated Aris BC on the road in Round 4 of the 2024-25 EuroCup season.

Jared Harper turned from scorer to provider at Aris

When everything indicated that this might not be his night in terms of scoring, [Jared Harper](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/jared-harper/011970/) came up with a brilliant idea: Why don’t I show the world how good of a playmaker I am too? And that is precisely what the Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem guard did in [his team’s 68-78 victory at Aris Midea Thessaloniki](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/jerusalem-rallies-back-to-beat-aris-68-78/) on Wednesday night.

Coming into the game at Palais De Sports, Harper was the competition’s top scorer, averaging an eye-catching 23.0 points per game across the first three rounds. He scored 27, 23 and 19 points, respectively, in Jerusalem’s first three games of the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup campaign, recording a league-high PIR of 26.0.

Yet, on Wednesday, Harper faced one of the best EuroCup defenses as Aris had put together a special plan to contain the flamboyant Jerusalem star. Harper finished the first half in Thessaloniki on just 3 points, having gone 1 for 5 from inside the arc and 1 for 4 from the charity stripe. However, he found another way to contribute on offense – by producing 6 assists after 20 minutes.

Aris showed defensive steel in the second quarter and held Jerusalem to just 9 points for a 39-32 cushion at halftime. The hosts even took a double-digit lead (45-35) midway through the third, but Harper provided his team with an extra gear to turn the game around. His seventh assist of the night led to an [Austin Wiley](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/austin-wiley/013278/) bucket from inside to bring the guests within 49-45 with 2 minutes remaining in the third. The 27-year-old guard went on to net 8 points and produce as many as 8 assists in the last quarter, creating the majority of Jerusalem’s 30 fourth-quarter points.

Twenty-six, in fact. Yes, those 26 points he helped contribute played a key role in him finishing with a 14-point, 15-assist double-double. After the contest, Harper didn’t forget to hail his teammates for the work they put in throughout.

“It was a whole team effort,” Harper told EuroLeague TV. “Coming in a tough environment like this and being able to win, it takes being special. We started up good, but we let them get back in the game. They got a lead, \[but\] we stayed with it, we fought through and \[got\] a great team win.”

Having grabbed its third straight win, Jerusalem are set to host a U-BT Cluj-Napoca side that comes from [a 67-103 thrashing of Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/cluj-thrashes-hamburg-on-the-road-67-103/). Yet, boasting a player who can pull off such scoring and playmaking displays in Harper, the Israeli side have nothing to fear this season.

BC Wolves got their first win of the 2024-25 EuroCup season after defeating Joventut Badalona 63-86 on the road in Round 3.

Wolves roar back to sink Joventut, 63-86, claiming first win of the season

Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius celebrated their first victory of the season in the BKT EuroCup as they tore apart strong favorites Joventut Badalona on the road, 63-86, thanks to a majestic display from guard Anthony Cowan, who scored a game-high 26 points.

The result means that Wolves improved to 1-3 in Group A while Joventut dropped to 2-2, having been stunned on its home court after a lackluster performance.

Former Joventut player Andrew Andrews, who featured for the Spanish side last season, added 17 points for Wolves, while Treshawn Thurman chipped in with 10 points. At the other end, Croatians Ante Tomic and Michael Ruzic paced Joventut with 11 points each on a night the home side will soon want to forget. 

Wearing a special edition of pink kits as part of a campaign aimed at battling breast cancer, Joventut got off to a slow start and trailed 15-25 late in the first quarter as Cowan netted 10 points for Wolves in the opening period. The home team hit back with a 15-0 run as it kept the visitors scoreless in the opening 6:13 minutes of the second quarter, with Tomic doing some damage in the paint.

However, the resilient Wolves replied shortly before halftime and took a slender 35-36 into the locker room at the interval, setting the tone for a lop-sided second half in which they ripped the hosts apart.

With Cowan and Andrews on fire, Wolves knocked down 6 three-pointers in the third quarter and raced clear into a 50-64 lead ahead of the final 10 minutes, as Joventut continued to struggle from the foul line as well as from the floor. 

The visitors kept their feet on the gas in the fourth and eventually carved out their biggest lead of the night, 58-84, with the Joventut home fans booing their team off the court after the final buzzer. 

The Lithuanian side bounced back from three straight losses with a magnificent performance in Badalona 

Kevin Punter enjoyed his best performance in his young FC Barcelona career as his team beat AS Monaco Basket in Round 3 of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season.

Kevin Punter had himself a night as Barcelona beat Monaco

FC Barcelona got its best win of this young Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season by [beating the visiting AS Monaco 86-71](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/barcelona-breezes-past-monaco-86-71/) on Friday night. Apart from a solid effort on both ends of the floor that resulted in a 15-point win against an opponent that had won their last three head-to-head games, Barcelona also got a standout performance it waited for from [Kevin Punter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kevin-punter/009862/), a scoring guard the team brought with high expectation this past summer.

"We had to be focused on both sides \[of the floor\], and we came up with a good, comfortable win," Punter told EuroLeague TV after scoring a game-high and season-high 21 points.

He made 5-of-7 two-point shots and 3-of-8 threes, while also collecting 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block, all in 25 minutes on the floor.

"I am trying to be the best version of myself and do what I got to do," Punter said, adding: "I am still adjusting, it is early in the season, so taking it day by day."

Punter, who has scored at least 11 points in each of the three games this season and averages 15.3 points after three rounds, not only led Barcelona in scoring but did so in bunches in key moments of the game.

He got Barcelona going with a pair of triples, accumulating 8 points in the first quarter, and scored 5 points late in the second quarter to help secure a 47-39 halftime lead. He then tallied 5 more points early in the third quarter in an 12-1 run which gave Barcelona a double-digit lead. Monaco never threatened after that.

"We put an entire game together all 40 minutes, and we've seen the results", was [Jabari Parker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jabari-parker/012745/)'s thoughts. Parker also had his best game of the young season, scoring 16 points and making a career-best 4 triples on 6 attempts.

But what Barcelona has done on Wednesday could easily be forgotten by Friday, when the team travels to face the only remaining undefeated side in the league – Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade.

After a shaky opening week and a loss in Kaunas, two home wins have eased a stress for Barcelona and improved team's record to 2-1, but Friday's game could tell us a lot where Barcelona really is at the moment.

"They got a real electric crowd, that's gonna put us to the test", Parker concluded.

His 21 points led the Blaugrana to their first win over the Monegasques in four games

“I expected a tough game, and it was a tough game,” Buducnost head coach Andrej Zakelj recognized after the game. “I think we went into the second half too much relaxed, not tough enough. We allowed them to feel that they could play. So, this was the problem."

That relaxation could be explained by how his team approached the second quarter and the outcome it got from it. Right before Zyskowski’s first three, which made it 29-25 after 11 minutes, Buducnost geared up on defense and held Trefl scoreless for the next seven minutes, while it didn’t allow a single field goal in eight minutes. As such, the hosts’ lead increased to 46-26 and set the foundations for the final win.

In that second quarter, Buducnost forced Trefl to make just 1-of-8 two-point attempts, 2-of-9 shots from three, and just 2-of-4 free throws. Buducnost also outrebounded Trefl 14-7, leaving it with a team PIR of just 2 for those 10 minutes. That extraordinarily defensive performance in the second quarter was money in the bank for the remainder of the game.

“If you play defense, then you play offense,” Zakelj assured. “But in the end, I must say it was not an easy game for us. It was pressure. We had to win, and we won.”

The Trefl forward scored 33, but the Polish side was limited to just 2 free throws in an eight-minute spell in the second period

In a clash of previously undefeated teams in Group B, Bourg edged Turk Telekom on Tuesday night. Bourg improved to 4-0, while Turk Telekom dropped to 3-1. After a series of lead changes late in the third and early in the fourth quarter, a triple from Maxime Courby gave Bourg 55-53 advantage and the hosts held that lead for good. Bourg prevailed thanks to its defense, which allowed only one field goal over a span of 4 minutes late in the game. Offensively, Bourg had three players with 10 points – Maksim Salash, Adrian Nelson and Xavier Casteneda. Meanwhile, Anthony Brown scored 20 for the visitors.

Joan Peñarroya's FC Barcelona put on a show at Palau Blaugrana, beating AS Monaco 86-71 with ease in Round 3 of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season.

Barcelona breezes past Monaco, 86-71

FC Barcelona protected its home floor on Wednesday night, defeating the previously unbeaten AS Monaco 86-71 in the last game of Round 3. Barcelona controlled the game for the majority of all four quarters, registering its second win of the season as both teams now hold a 2-1 record in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings.

When all was said and done, it turned out that Barcelona never trailed after a 9-0 first-quarter run, with the hosts taking the lead for good in the second quarter. Monaco came within 47-44 early in the third, but an 8-0 run gave Barcelona a double-digit lead that grew to 20 points at the start of the fourth, with Monaco never threatening again. 

Kevin Punter netted 21 points to lead Barcelona, and Jabari Parker added 16. Nicolas Laprovittola scored 13, and Jan Vesely 10 points in a victory. Elie Okobo was Monaco's top core with 13 points, Alpha Diallo had 12, Mike James 11 while Mam Jaiteh finished with 10 in a losing effort.

Game Videos

Monaco was the team which struck first, opening a 2-7 lead after a James three-pointer, but Barcelona answered with a 10-0 run during which Punter hit a pair of threes, including one in transition from way downtown, to make it 12-7. Monaco replied with a little run of its own, capped by Okobo's three to tie things at 14-14, but Parker hit a corner triple before Willy Hernangomez had a dunk that sparked a 9-0 run, capped by a triple from Laprovittola. That shot opened a double-digit margin, 26-16, before a Georgios Papagiannis' tip-in made it 26-18 after 10 minutes.

Monaco had a strong start to the second quarter, with Matthew Strazel driving for a shot high off the glass and Diallo following it up with a three-point play, then Donatas Motiejunas twice went crafty in the low post, tying the game at 27-27. Laprovittola had a three-point play, and after Diallo answered with a three-pointer, a triple from Dario Brizuela, a long jumper from Vesely and a three-point play from Punter opened a 40-35 advantage. Jordan Loyd, in his first game back in Monaco's uniform, and Diallo cut the margin back to 41-39, but Chimezie Metu's tip-in and Punter on a fast break secured a 47-39 halftime Barcelona lead.

James scored 5 points to open the third quarter, but Barcelona scored the next 8, with Punter tallying 5 and Parker netting a triple, as the hosts went 55-44 ahead. James and Motiejunas snapped the hosts' run, but Barcelona started dominating as Parker and Laprovittola combined to score the team's next 12 points, extending it to 67-49. Papagiannis put an end to a 12-1 run and Okobo hit a three-pointer, but a pair of jumpers from Vesely had Barcelona up 71-54 after 30 minutes.

A corner three from Brizuela made it a 20-point game after the opening possession of the fourth, but a triple from Jaron Blosomgame and a layup from Diallo trimmed the gap to 15 points, 76-61. Okobo scored four more points to get Monaco within 11 points midway through the fourth, but Barcelona stepped up defensively, and a second-chance triple from Punter got the lead back to 81-65, ending any doubts with 3:06 to go.

Both teams have a 2-1 record after three rounds

Hapoel Jerusalem beat Aris BC 68-78 on the road in Round 4 of the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup season.

Jerusalem rallies back to beat Aris, 68-78

Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem came away with a 68-78 victory at Aris Midea Thessaloniki in Round 3 of the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup season on Wednesday evening. The visitors got off to a solid start and took a 17-23 lead into the second quarter, but Aris held Jerusalem to 9 points and turned the game around for a 39-32 cushion at halftime. Aris even took a double-digit lead (45-35) midway through the third quarter, but the Israeli side outscored the Greeks 29-46 in the second half. With this win, Jerusalem extended its winning streak to three games and improved its record to 3-1. Meanwhile, Aris dropped to 1-3 following its second home loss.

Jared Harper paired his 14 points with 15 assists, but it was Justin Smith who led Jerusalem in scoring with 18 points. Chris Johnson and Austin Wiley chipped in with 11 and 10 points, respectively. For the losing side, David DeJulius scored a game-high 30 points, with Vassilis Toliopoulos adding 16.

DeJulius netted Aris’ first 5 points and Landers Nolley scored a layup in transition for a 7-2 lead. Yet, Jerusalem went on a 13-2 surge inspired by Wiley and Johnson, who took his tally to 9 early points and made it 9-15. The hosts responded with buckets from Trey Woodbury and Joshua Roberts but triples from Jeremy Morgan and Kenneth Smith extended Jerusalem’s lead to 13-21. Toliopoulos opened his account with a midrange jumper and D'Moi Hodge scored from inside, but Justin Smith replied with a bucket of his own for a 17-23 cushion after 10 minutes.

DeJulius scored 3 points to open the second quarter before a layup from Eleftherios Bochoridis pulled Aris within 22-25. Jared Harper struggled to find his range in the first 15 minutes, but he produced 5 assists, one of which set up Austin, who made it 22-29. Yet, DeJulius responded with three straight buckets from inside to take his tally to 16 points before a hook from James Banks put Aris in front, 30-29. With the Palais De Sports buzzing, Toliopoulos stepped up and netted the next 7 Aris points before De Julius made 2 of 2 from the line for a 39-32 cushion.

Replicating what he did in the previous two quarters, DeJulius scored Aris’ first points in the third too with a midrange jumper. Then, Nolley and Georgios Gkiouzelis produced one slam each to extend Aris’ lead to 45-35. Yet, Harper completed a three-point play before baskets from Justin Smith and Johnson brought Jerusalem within 47-43. Jerusalem didn’t manage to score a field goal in the last two minutes of the third quarter, but a few made free throws allowed the visitors to trim the deficit to 51-48 heading into the fourth.

Triples from Morgan and Yovel Zoosman put Jerusalem ahead, with Harper reaching 12 assists as he inspired the visitors to a 4-14 run that allowed them to grab a 55-64 lead. Then, Harper nailed his first triple of the night, but Toliopoulos responded with one of his own on the other end to make it 62-69 with 4 minutes to go. But Jerusalem had an extra surge in the closing quarter, with Justin Smith taking his tally to 16 points from the line for a 62-73 cushion that allowed Jerusalem to comfortably see out the game in crunch time.

Aris Midea Thessaloniki-Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem | Round 4 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup   

Buducnost VOLI notched its second win in the 2024-25 EuroCup season – and first at home – as it beat Trefl Sopot 92-83 in Round 4.

Buducnost shuts down Trefl to grab second win, 92-83

Buducnost VOLI Podgorica managed to clinch its first home win of the BKT EuroCup season after downing Trefl Sopot 86-74 at Moraca on Wednesday night. A terrific second quarter, in which the home team left Trefl scoreless for more than seven minutes, set the foundations for the victory. The hosts got their second in a row to improve to 2-2, while the visitors remain winless after four rounds.

Kenan Kamenjas paced the winners with 18 points. Fletcher Magee followed with 17, Rasheed Sulaimon had 14, and Nikola Tanaskovic and McKinley Wright chipped in 10 apiece. Jaroslaw Zyskowski led all scorers with career-high 33 points, Tarik Phillip had 16, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Geoffrey Grosselle contributed 10 and 5 boards in the losing effort.

Both teams started red-hot on offense, scoring on every possession, with Sulaimon and Phillip leading the way for each team. Despite struggling to control the rebounding battle early in the game, the hosts managed to build a 15-10 edge right before the first timeout, having taken advantage of Trefl’s turnovers and the free-throw line. With Phillip as the only one able to score for the visitors, Buducnost found inside points by Kamenjas, good for a 19-12 advantage that increased to 29-20 at the end of the first period behind back-to-back triples by Juwan Morgan and Sulaimon.

The break seemed to be a good thing for Trefl, which reduced the distance to 29-25 in the first 50 seconds after the game resumed. Buducnost head coach Andrej Zakelj immediately stopped the game with a timeout to avoid a rally, and the result was something only a few could have expected. The hosts completely shut down Trefl, preventing their opponent from getting a field goal for the next eight minutes. Five points in a row by McGee sparked a 15-0 run that allowed Buducnost to escape, 44-25. When Jaroslaw Zyskowski managed to end the drought and give Trefl some momentum, the home team was already far away and comfortably dominating, 48-30, at halftime.

Trefl tried to start strong to get back into the game early in the second half, but despite Aaron Best finally hitting from beyond the arc to help his team come within 51-35, a couple of unsportsmanlike fouls – one for each team – slowed down the game and Buducnost took advantage of it to escape again, 55-37. Then Grosselle and Zyskowski took over for Sopot to make it 55-43. The joy didn’t last long for the visitors, as McKinley Wright and Howard showed up from outside to help Buducnost recover its momentum, 63-47. Five points in a row by Marcus Weathers broke the trend, though, and Trefl managed to reach the last stanza with some hope, 63-52.

Zyskowsky kept rocking for Trefl after the game resumed, which made it a single-digit disadvantage for the visitors for the first time since the second period, 65-56. With eight minutes still to play, Buducnost stopped the game again, but Zyskowski’s third triple made it even tighter, 67-59, right after that. Buducnost didn’t panic, though, as a timely three-pointer by McGee cut the bleeding and calmed down the home crowd. Recovering a double-digit lead seemed to reactivate Buducnost on offense, as another scoring spurt by Magee made it 79-65 with four minutes to play. Trefl didn’t give up and kept looking for a red-hot Zyskowski, who ended up scoring 19 points in the last period, but the hosts never allowed their opponent to come dangerously close. The game entered crunch time with a 84-72 score, and even though an unsportsmanlike foul called on Yogi Ferrell and the fifth three of Zyskowski made it 86-81 in the last minute, an offensive rebound and a basket by Kamenjas finished the game off.

Odiase scored a career-best 24 points while also grabbing 7 rebounds and recording 1 block for a career-high PIR of 29 in Bahcesehir’s 110-70 win in Group A. The 29-year-old American eclipsed his previous bests of 19 points and 25 PIR from last season while playing for Prometey Slobozhanske.

While Odiase set two personal highs, Bahcesehir broke five club records in the impressive showing.

Its 110 points beat the team’s 108 points in a 108-74 win over Umana Reyer Venice in 2020-21, while its 37 points in the second quarter were the club’s most in a single quarter, topping the 35 points it scored in the second quarter in that same game against Reyer.

Bahcesehir also set a club record with its 63 first-half points, flying past the 54 points the team scored in both halves of the same game versus Reyer. The 63 points Dejan Radonjic’s men scored tied for 10th all-time for the most points in a EuroCup first half.

The 40-point final difference also meant a new mark, topping Bahcesehir’s 34-point winning margin against Reyer four seasons ago.

And the final record set was Bahcesehir grabbing 17 offensive rebounds against Trento. The team’s previous best was 14 offensive rebounds in the 2020-21 season. Odiase played a big role in that with 4 offensive boards while [Furkan Haltali](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/furkan-haltali/012405/) finished with 5 offensive rebounds.
