Name: Olympiacos Piraeus-AS Monaco | Round 7 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague
Channel: Euroleague Basketball

Milan suffered a narrow defeat at Barcelona despite a strong performance from Armoni Brooks (15 points on 3-of-4 three-point shooting), and needs others to find their range from deep after making just 7 of its 27 attempts (25.9%). Paris, in contrast, was overcome at home by Efes after a bad night inside the paint, converting only 11 of its 29 two-point attempts (37.9%), with star scorer Nadir Hifi struggling from the field as he made just 2-of-16 field goals. This is a true clash of styles, with the league’s third-best defense (Milan has allowed just 80.4 points per game) attempting to clamp down the third-best offense (Paris averages 91.7 points).

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan v Paris Basketball (2025-10-30T19:30:00.000Z)

Bayern produced a magnificent second half – inspired by Isiaha Mike – to overturn a double-digit deficit at home to Real Madrid, while Virtus must recover quickly from a heavy defeat at Zalgiris. Former Bayern star Carsen Edwards will look to lead the visitor by recovering his best form after being held to 9 points in Tuesday’s loss, missing all 6 of his three-point attempts. The Italian team also needs to compete better in the paint after being heavily outrebounded in Lithuania, with Alen Smailagic facing the challenge of battling with fit-again Bayern big man Johannes Voigtmann. The host could also be bolstered by new signing Spencer Dinwiddie, whose possible debut will be decided shortly before tipoff.

\- Last season the two teams split road victories. Prior to that, Bayern and Virtus met only four times in the EuroLeague – in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons – and the home team won each of those four games.

 

\- When Bayern beat Virtus 90-76 in November 2023, it set a club record with 8 blocked shots.

 

\- Virtus guard Carsen Edwards spent the last two seasons with Bayern. Last season he averaged 20.4 points, helping the team reach the second round of the Play-In Showdown.

 

\- Virtus's Karim Jallow came through at Bayern and made his professional debut there in the 2015-16 season.

 

\- Daniel Hackett was a teammate of Bayern forward Johannes Voigtmann at CSKA Moscow from 2019 to 2022.

 

\- Bayern guard Kamar Baldwin was a teammate with Virtus's Saliou Niang at Dolomiti Energia Trento in the 2023-24 season.

 

\- Bayern playmaker Stefan Jovic and Virtus big man Alen Smailagic have been teammates on the Serbian national team.

 

\- Bayern center David McCormack had a couple of personal bests with 14 rebounds and 4 steals while playing for ALBA Berlin in a road win against Virtus in December of last season.

 

\- Virtus guard Daniel Hackett dished a career-high 10 assists while playing for Montepaschi Siena against Bayern in November 2013.

 

\- Bayern guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes made a career-best 5 three-pointers while playing for Real Madrid against Virtus last November.

Two direct rivals enduring contrasting fortunes in Round 7 meet in Munich as Bayern (3-4) welcomes Virtus (4-3).

FC Bayern Munich v Virtus Bologna (2025-10-30T19:30:00.000Z)

The Spanish team – which leads the league in scoring (94.1 points per game) again showed its potential by comfortably beating reigning champ Fenerbahce on Tuesday, underlining its impressive depth as Tyson Carter top scored with 17 points. Dubai can rely on the consistency of Filip Petrusev (15.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per night), and he needs a strong game against a Valencia team which ranks second in offensive boards (14.3 per game). The visitor has the competition’s best interior defense, conceding just 50.5% of two-point attempts, but needs Dwayne Bacon to rediscover form at the other end after going 2-of-12 from the field two days ago.

\- This is the first-ever official game between these two clubs.

 

\- Dubai sharpshooter Klemen Prepelic spent three seasons with Valencia, from 2020 to 2023.

 

\- Dubai's Justin Anderson played at Valencia in the 2023-24 season and made his EuroLeague debut there.

 

\- Dubai's Dzanan Musa scored 28 points and had a PIR of 32, earning him MVP of the Round honors, while playing for Real Madrid in a 73-80 road win at Valencia in November 2022.

 

\- Dubai forward Filip Petrusev earned MVP of the Round honors while playing for Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade in a 75-77 win in Valencia in January 2023. Petrusev had 25 points, making a career-high 11-of-11 free throws, in addition to pulling down 9 rebounds and recording a 36 PIR.

 

\- Dubai center Sertac Sanli set his career highs in PIR (26) and steals (3) while playing for Anadolu Efes Istanbul against Valencia in March 2021.

 

\- Sanli pulled down a career-high 8 rebounds while playing for FC Barcelona against Valencia in April 2023.

Valencia (4-3) will attempt to complete a perfect week by downing a Dubai team (3-4) needing to bounce back from consecutive losses.

Game Notes: Valencia vs. Dubai

Valencia Basket v Dubai Basketball (2025-10-30T19:30:00.000Z)

It will feel like a home game for both teams in Belgrade, where new backcourt signing Jared Butler could make his debut for a Zvezda team also hoping to welcome back Jordan Nwora after injury. Chima Moneke will look to continue his strong form after netting 24 points in Tuesday’s win over Virtus, while Maccabi is targeting defensive improvement after allowing 99 points in defeat at Panathinaikos two days ago. That game saw TJ Leaf deliver his best performance yet (12 points, 9 rebounds) and the forward needs another big night if Maccabi wants to stop Zvezda’s sensational winning run.

\- Zvezda holds a 12-8 lead over Maccabi in games this century.

 

\- Last season at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, Maccabi's John DiBartolomeo tied his career high with 5 three-pointers made in Maccabi's 85-73 win last January.

 

\- Last season, Maccabi forward Jaylen Hoard had a career-high 11 rebounds in a road loss against Crvena Zvezda, and career-best 4 steals in a home win against Zvezda.

 

\- Crvena Zvezda set a club record with 48 rebounds in a 76-64 win over Maccabi in April 2021.

 

\- When Crvena Zvezda routed Maccabi 83-58 in Round 12 of the 2016-17 season, it marked the first time in a EuroLeague game that a team – in this case, Maccabi - did not shoot a single free throw.

 

\- Injured Zvezda center Jasiel Rivero spent last two seasons with Maccabi.

 

\- Maccabi forward Uros Trifunovic and Zvezda playmaker Codi Miller-McIntyre were teammates at Partizan Belgrade in the 2020-21 season.

 

\- Zvezda's Ognjen Dobric, Uros Plavsic and Dejan Davidovac have been teammates with Uros Trifunovic on the Serbian national team.

 

\- Kalinic had a career-high 11 rebounds while playing for Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul against Maccabi in April 2019.

 

\- Maccabi big man Roman Sorkin tied his career high with 9 rebounds in an 81-73 road loss against Crvena Zvezda last December.

 

\- Zvezda guard Codi Miller-McIntryre set career highs in points (32), PIR (45) and two-pointers made (11) while playing for Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in a 2024 first-round loss against Maccabi in the Play-In Showdown.

 

\- Zvezda big man Chima Moneke pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds while playing for Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz against Maccabi in February 2024.

 

\- Crvena Zvezda’s Dejan Davidovac made a career-best 10 free throws in a road loss against Maccabi in December 2020.

Red-hot Zvezda (5-2) is aiming for a sixth straight victory as it faces dangerous but inconsistent Maccabi (2-5).

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv v Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (2025-10-30T19:05:00.000Z)

The first task for the visitor is finding a way to slow down Sylvain Francisco, who leads the league in assists (6.7 per game) and dominated Tuesday’s win over Virtus by combining 23 points with 10 helpers. The inside presence of Moses Wright (14 points and 8 rebounds two days ago) is another challenge for an ASVEL team which suffered a bad night on offense in Round 7, losing 79-65 at Zvezda with only Melvin Ajinca (13) scoring more than 10 points. ASVEL committed 16 turnovers in that game so needs more control in the Zalgirio Arena.

  \-  ASVEL has swept the regular-season series against Zalgiris in each of the last two seasons, including a 72-78 win in Kaunas last December as Melvin Ajinca scored 17 points.

   

  \- ASVEL won the last two home games against Zalgiris, allowing 79 points in each of them.

   

  \- Zalgiris and ASVEL first played in the Cup Winners' Cup semifinals in 1985, with each winning at home in the two-game total-points series. Zalgiris progressed 177-176 on aggregate and lost against FC Barcelona in the finals.

   

  \- ASVEL's single-game record for steals is 6, which Mindaugas Lukauskis – a Lithuanian who played for ASVEL – set against Zalgiris Kaunas in December 2009.

   

  \- Zalgiris forward Edgaras Ulanovas and ASVEL's Nanco De Colo were teammates at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in the 2020-21 season.

   

  \- Zalgiris's Sylvain Francisco has been a teammate of De Colo on the French national team.

   

  \- ASVEL guard Nando De Colo earned MVP of the Round honors with a PIR of 37, scoring 25 points and dishing 10 assists while playing for CSKA Moscow in a 94-91 win against Zalgiris in November 2017.

   

  \- De Colo was the Top 16 Round 13 co-MVP in the 2015-16 season after torching Zalgiris for 26 points on just 11 shots, making 3-of-4 three-pointers and all 7 of his free throws for CSKA. De Colo also collected 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block for a PIR of 35 in a 100-86 home win.

   

  \- Zalgiris guard Sylvain Francisco tied a career best with 6 rebounds in that last season's home loss against ASVEL.

   

  \- Zalgiris forward Arnas Butkevicius tied his career high with 9 rebounds in that home loss against ASVEL last December.

   

  \- Zalgiris center Laurynas Birutis scored a career-high 18 points in an 88-79 road loss against ASVEL last March.

   

  \- ASVEL playmaker Thomas Heurtel had a career-high 4 steals while playing for Anadolu Efes Istanbul against Zalgiris in December 2016.

Thursday’s opening tipoff will see second-placed Zalgiris (5-2) attempt to complete a perfect week against an ASVEL team (2-5) targeting a first road win.

AS Monaco made a statement by going on the road and edging Olympiacos Piraeus 87-92 in a hard-fought affair in Round 7 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season, with Mike James and Alpha Diallo playing key roles in the win.

Mike James, ‘everyday guy’ Alpha Diallo starred for Monaco in Piraeus

It might still be too early in the season, but it feels as though [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/) made a statement on Wednesday night.

Of course, it can be argued that being the reigning EuroLeague runner-up does free a team from needing to make statements in the first place, but Monaco made one nevertheless, going on the road and edging [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) 87-92 in a hard-fought affair.

“I think we played a really good game,” Monaco star guard and the EuroLeague’s all-time leading scorer [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) said with a smile in a EuroLeague TV interview after the win.

James orchestrated things on the floor at the Peace and Friendship Stadium, playing 32 minutes and posting a double-double of 23 points and 10 assists. He shot 3 of 6 from long range, made 5 of 7 twos, and also had 4 rebounds.

It was his best performance of this young campaign, and he now sits in second place in the league in assists this season with 6.6 per game.

His performance, and the game’s outcome, came as a bit of *déjà vu*.

Olympiacos Piraeus-AS Monaco | Round 7 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

This was a rematch of last season’s Final Four semifinals, in which James starred in Monaco’s win over the Reds in Abu Dhabi. But just like in that historic semifinal win, in this Round 7 affair in Piraeus, James had a sidekick – and just like in Abu Dhabi, there was that same other protagonist, [Alpha Diallo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/alpha-diallo/011226/), who pushed and pulled Monaco to victory once again.

Diallo played 35 minutes and 17 seconds in this Round 7 clash, scoring a career-high 27 points. He made 8 of 9 twos and 3 of 4 threes, and chipped in 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals to his all-round effort.

Both players earned great praise from their head coach, Vassilis Spanoulis.

“\[Mike James\] had 10 assists, but could have had more, we missed some open threes,” Spanoulis said. “Everybody knows he can score. He was very concentrated, he always made the right play.

“Alpha played incredible,” Spanoulis continued. “You cannot judge Alpha from the points he scored. He plays incredible defense and in all the aspects of the game, that you cannot see on the stat sheet.”

Diallo, playing in his fifth EuroLeague season, all with Monaco, is an all-out effort player who reads the game so well on both ends of the floor that he simply makes the team better.

In addition to his defensive prowess, after this 27-point performance, Diallo is now also averaging 14.3 points on 43.5% three-point shooting, turning himself in a nightmare for opposing defenses, too.

“I just go out there and hoop every night, just to be an every-day guy,” Diallo tried to explain his approach on EuroLeague TV. “I try to come in, do the little stuff and just whatever it takes to win. I am happy I keep improving, it shows the work I’ve put in, and it is showing off.”

The win improved Monaco's record to 4-3, working like a charm after the team lost in its two previous road games, in Bologna against Virtus and in Sofia against Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv.

The next stop in just 48 hours is a home tilt against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens.

For the second year in a row, Monaco scored a valuable road win at Olympiacos

London Lions-Turk Telekom Ankara | Round 5 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroCup

London Lions v Turk Telekom Ankara (2025-10-29T19:30:00.000Z)

Turk Telekom Ankara traveled to the English capital to face the London Lions in Round 5 of the EuroCup at the Copper Box Arena on Wednesday night. A spirited crowd of Turkish fans filled the stands, adding to the energy of the night. The game also coincided with Republic Day in Turkiye, marking the founding of the republic in 1923. The festive atmosphere set the stage for an exciting contest.

Turk Telekom rides strong frontcourt play to victory in London

[Turk Telekom Ankara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/turk-telekom-ankara/ttk/) traveled to the English capital to face the [London Lions](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/london-lions/lli/) in Round 5 of the EuroCup at the Copper Box Arena on Wednesday night. A spirited crowd of Turkish fans filled the stands, adding to the energy of the night. The game also coincided with Republic Day in Turkiye, marking the founding of the republic in 1923. The festive atmosphere set the stage for an exciting contest.

By the final buzzer, Turk Telekom emerged victorious with a 77–89 win, fueled by key second-half adjustments and dominant play inside. The first half was tightly contested. Both teams played aggressively, battling for every rebound. London grabbed 10 offensive boards, limiting Turk Telekom to just 11 defensive rebounds (52.4%).

On the other side, the visitors pulled down 8 offensive rebounds, while London managed only 9 defensive rebounds (52.9%). At halftime, it was clear that whichever team controlled the paint after the break would likely take control.

Turk Telekom wasted no time doing exactly that. It focused its attack inside, feeding the ball to big men [Kyle Alexander](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kyle-alexander/011973/) and [Kris Bankston](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kris-bankston/012760/). The change in strategy paid off immediately.

Despite playing their third straight road game, both players looked fresh. Bankston delivered several highlight moments – a powerful dunk in traffic, a huge block that sent the ball out of bounds, and a thunderous put-back slam that brought fans to their feet.

Alexander was equally impressive. He finished with 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

After hitting 54.5% of its two-pointers in the first half (12-of-22), Turk Telekom improved to a blistering 75% (12-of-16) inside the arc after the break — thanks largely to its frontcourt duo.

“We came out aggressive,” Alexander said afterward. “We knew we had to play better one-on-one defense and rebound better to start building a lead. Paint touches are something we emphasize as a team. When you get into the paint, everything opens up. Having aggressive guards who attack the lane means everything for us.”

That interior dominance also created space for [Kyle Allman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kyle-allman/011924/), who took full advantage. He poured in 22 points, dished 6 assists and committed just 1 turnover, finishing with a PIR of 34.

Turk Telekom also tightened up defensively. It allowed just 7 offensive rebounds in the second half while grabbing 12 defensive boards – securing 63.2% of the available rebounds on its end.

London struggled with 16 turnovers, a key factor in Turk Telekom’s third consecutive road win. Their traveling fans celebrated loudly as the team sealed the victory.

After the game, head coach Erden Can reflected on his team’s performance.

“We gave up 17 offensive rebounds, which wasn’t part of our plan,” he said. “We should’ve controlled the glass better. But we did force 15 turnovers, so at least we balanced the possession battle. We were more aggressive attacking the paint and drawing fouls. At the end of the day, it’s one win in a long season. Every game in the EuroCup is a tough one.”

Turk Telekom responded by focusing their offense inside, targeting big men Kyle Alexander and Kris Bankston—a strategy that paid off handsomely. Despite playing their third consecutive road game, both players showed no signs of fatigue. Bankston delivered several highlight-worthy moments, including a powerful dunk in traffic, a commanding block that sent the ball out of bounds, and a thunderous put-back slam.

Alexander delivered a rock-solid performance, finishing with 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. After shooting 54.5% on two-pointers in the first half (12-of-22), Turk Telekom improved to a blistering 75% (12-of-16) inside the arc after the break, thanks in large part to the frontcourt duo.

“We came out aggressive. We knew we had to play better one-on-one defense and do a better job rebounding to start building a lead,” Alexander said, also crediting the team’s backcourt. “Paint touches are something we emphasize as a team. When you get into the paint, everything opens up. Having aggressive, talented guards who are willing to attack the lane means everything for us.”

As Alexander noted, the improved interior presence also created more space for Kyle Allman, who capitalized with 22 points, six assists, and just one turnover, earning a performance index rating (PIR) of 34. Turk Telekom also tightened up on the boards, allowing only seven offensive rebounds in the second half while grabbing 12 defensive rebounds—securing 63.2% of the available boards on their end. London committed 16 turnovers, a key factor in Turk Telekom’s third consecutive win, much to the delight of their traveling supporters.

“We gave up 17 offensive rebounds, which wasn’t part of our plan. We should’ve controlled our own glass better,” said head coach Erden Can postgame. “But we did force 15 turnovers, so at least we balanced the possession battle. We were more aggressive attacking the paint and drawing fouls. At the end of the day, it’s one win in a long season. Every game in the EuroCup is a tough one.”

Kris Bankston and Kyle Alexander dominated the paint to secure a road win

Bahcesehir dominated the glass and forced Manresa into a nightmare performance from long range in a 67-81 victory for a 5-0 record in Group A. 

Bahcesehir controls game over respected Manresa 

Bahcesehir College Istanbul came into the game against BAXI Manresa fully aware it was facing a strong Spanish side and that awareness and respect helped the Turkish team control the road game and remain perfect in the BKT EuroCup.

Bahcesehir dominated the glass and forced Manresa into a nightmare performance from long range in a 67-81 victory for a 5-0 record in Group A.

“We knew they were a good team. We knew they would come out and compete for 40 minutes. We knew we just had to take care of the ball and play as a team and that’s what we did tonight,” said Malachi Flynn, who tallied 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a strong all-around game.

Bahcesehir grabbed 44 rebounds to just 26 for the hosts and turned 13 offensive rebounds into a 12-4 advantage in second chance points.

The Turkish side was also tremendous in defending the three-point line, allowing Manresa to make just 2 of 23 from long range for 8.7%.

“We entered the game with a lot of concentration. We gave a lot of respect to Manresa - the respect that they deserve because they have been playing this type of basketball for the last five years, which is very aggressive, very modern. This is a team that deserves respect,” Bahcesehir head coach Marko Barac said of Manresa, which saw its three-game winning streak snapped for a 3-2 record.

Bahcesehir finished the opening frame with a 2-8 surge for a 13-point lead. The cushion temporarily expanded to 15 points in the second frame and Manresa could not really make a significant dent in the deficit, going into the locker room down 32-44.

The hosts actually got within 39-48, but Bahcesehir answered with the next 7 points. Bahcesehir just kept the foot on the pedal in the fourth quarter as a pair of triples made it 46-69.

“We had a lot of focus, defensively we were good. We followed the game plan perfectly. And I feel that we had the game under control for the first minute,” Barac said.

Bahcesehir’s task was made easier as Manresa was without its leading scorer Alfonso Plummer, who poured in 12.8 points per game through the first four contests.

Despite the convincing win, Barac knows his team still has some issues.

“We have room to improve. We missed some free throws and had some unforced turnovers,” said Barac, whose team made just 16 of 27 from the foul line (59.7%) while committing 15 turnovers. “Those are the things we need to address and work on. But more or less it was a really good effort.”

Besides Flynn, the offense also included Hunter Hale, who set his career high with 17 points. Caleb Homesley, meanwhile, tallied 14 points to average 16.7 points in the last three games after totaling just 6 points in the first two contests.

“We were fighting for every loose ball and every rebound for 40 minutes, and that’s why we won,” Barac said.

The Group A leader always had the game in its hands on the road

BAXI Manresa-Bahcesehir College Istanbul | Round 5 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroCup

Neptunas Klaipeda grabbed an impressive road win at Cedevita Olimpija in Round 5, but it so very nearly threw it all away in the dying seconds.

Neptunas hangs on by a thread against Cedevita in roller-coaster battle

“In the end we had a chance to win after all this craziness during the game,” lamented [Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/cedevita-olimpija-ljubljana/lju/) head coach Zvezdan Mitrovic after his team's 91-94 defeat to [Neptunas Klaipeda](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/neptunas-klaipeda/kla/). “But I think tonight's game was finished in the first quarter, when we opened the game super soft and with no defense, allowing them to score 34 points \[in the first quarter\].”

Mitrovic was right. His team had the chance to complete a historic comeback after trailing by 20 points in the first quarter (11-31), and later by 10 (76-86) midway through the final quarter.

A steal by [DJ Stewart](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/dj-stewart/012700/), with the score at 91-93 and just 2 seconds left on the clock, gave Cedevita one last opportunity to win the game. But a misunderstanding between him and [Umoja Gibson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/umoja-gibson/013855/) ended up in a turnover that confirmed Neptunas’s victory.

“It was a rollercoaster game. We started very well. Then, we kind of struggled against the switching defense of Cedevita,” acknowledged Neptunas head coach Gediminas Petrauskas.

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana-Neptunas Klaipeda | Round 5 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroCup

The Lithuanians had an impressive first quarter, with [Rihards Lomasz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/rihards-lomazs/005553/) and [James Karnik](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/james-karnik/013884/) pushing Neptunas to a 16-34 advantage at the end of the first quarter. However, Cedevita didn't surrender.

Despite facing the best rebounding team in the competition, Cedevita made up for its problems under the boards – the Slovenians ranked last in rebounding coming to this game – and matched Neptunas’s force inside. Also, a couple of threes by [Joseph Girard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/joseph-girard-iii/013856/) and a scoring spurt by [David Skara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/david-skara/004639/) helped the home team reach halftime still in the game (42-49).

Step by step Cedevita got closer, and the rally was finally completed when [Thomas Kennedy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/thomas-kennedy/013973/) converted a bucket to make it 71-70 and reset the game with still 8 minutes to play.

The joy didn’t last for long for the home side, though, as [Arnas Velicka](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/arnas-velicka/006326/) and Lomasz showed up from deep to cool it down immediately. The Latvian shooter came up big soon after when he chained together a three-point play and a trey to restore a double-digit edge, 76-86, with 4 minutes to go.

“I think the key moment was the beginning of the third quarter. We kind of started the same way we started the first quarter: with good intensity, with the idea of what we want to play,” said Petrauskas, who praised his players’ poise when Cedevita came back.

“As a coach, you are always proud after the wins. But at the same time, how we played the end of the game it was something unspeakable. We must control the ball better in these circumstances, but obviously we are happy to get the \[team's\] first away win in the EuroCup”.

It’s easy to understand the bittersweet feeling of Petrauskas when reviewing the last possessions of his team. After giving up 14 points in the previous game against Hamburg and wasting a 20-point lead early in the game, Neptunas committed several turnovers and mistakes in crunch time that allowed Cedevita to come within 91-93 with 10 seconds left, before then forcing a turnover on the following inbound pass.

Luckily for Neptunas, it didn’t go further.

“For me, we didn't deserve to win tonight because Neptunas played better,” Mitrovic admitted. “They scored all these tough points in clutch time. I don't know how many threes in the last seconds, contested shots, they made.” 

Neptunas, now riding a two-game winning streak, can start to look upward, while Cedevita will be eager to address its two-game losing skid as soon as possible.

The visitors gave up a 20-point difference and Cedevita had the ball to win, but turned it over on the last possession

In a roller coaster German derby, NINERS Chemnitz outlasted ratiopharm ulm 89-78

Chemnitz survives German derby ups and downs to defeat Ulm

In a roller coaster German derby, NINERS Chemnitz outlasted ratiopharm ulm 89-78 in their first meeting on an international stage.

Both teams entered the night chasing a different kind of spark. Chemnitz looked for rhythm after a string of close defeats, while Ulm aimed to bounce back following last week’s first loss of the season. When the final buzzer sounded, what Chemnitz had been searching for in recent weeks finally clicked into place.

‘‘The most important thing to see is to have everybody on the court, then the rest will come by itself,’’ said coach Rodrigo Pastore in the post-game interview.

In a high-paced battle, Chemnitz’s intense defense proved to be one of the key factors early on. Kevin Yebo set the tone in the first quarter with his presence on offense, while Corey Davis took over in the second to keep the momentum on Chemnitz’s side through halftime. Ulm, however, refused to fade, finding second chances on the boards, grabbing 11 offensive rebounds in the first half alone.

The second half told a completely different story. Ulm came out of the locker room with an aggressive defensive approach, forcing turnovers and tough shots to shift the momentum, outscoring Chemnitz 27-12 in the third quarter to get back in the game. But just like in the first half, Chemnitz found its rhythm again in the final period and never looked back. Chemnitz managed to hold Ulm, the EuroCup’s top scoring team through the first 4 rounds with averaging 99.0 points per game, to just 78 thanks to a strong defensive display.

After the game, Coach Pastore pointed to injuries as the key challenge: “We finished the game with a very strong fourth quarter. It’s a step forward, it’s still not where we think we can arrive in terms of playing consistent basketball our way for 40 minutes. That’s gonna get there, we have been pushing our guys a lot with our limited rotation and some of our guys paid that price for it.”

At the heart of Chemnitz’s performance stood Corey Davis Jr., whose impact was felt everywhere. Beyond his defensive presence, the American guard fueled his team with timely three-pointers that stretched the lead and kept the momentum alive. He finished with 23 points on 5-of-9 shooting from deep, along with 6 assists, and he even added 2 blocks to complete a standout all-around night.

“We did a good job, with coming out of here playing aggressive,” said Davis Jr. “This crowd gave us a big boost. We had to dig deep, we had to be aggressive the whole game. And just put them on their toes, just played as hard as we could.”

Coach Ty Harreson also praised Chemnitz’s strong defense: ‘‘These small things end up being the big difference in the game.

‘‘Felt like it was closer than a 10-point game. Credit to Chemnitz, Rodrigo always does a great job, they held us at %40 percent from two, and 26% from three, I thought it changed a lot of shots right by the rim. It’s something that we need to improve, as we move forward.’’

In Round 6, Ulm will look to stay sharp when it hosts the London Lions. Meanwhile, Chemnitz will hit the road to face Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse.

In Round 7, Denzel Valentine had his first standout performance in the BKT EuroCup since joining Umana Reyer Venice this past summer.

Valentine’s day in Wroclaw as Reyer earn much-needed win over Slask

“We needed a win in the worst way and it showed,” said [Kyle Wiltjer](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kyle-wiltjer/008052/) after his well-rounded performance helped [Umana Reyer Venice](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/umana-reyer-venice/vnc/) overcome [Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/slask-wroclaw/wro/) to the tune of 92-104 on Wednesday night.

The game saw both teams go blow-for-blow for most of the contest until the Venetians pulled away in the fourth quarter. The scoring burst that took Reyer over the edge was led by American veteran guard [Denzel Valentine](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/denzel-valentine-/013930/), who had his first standout performance in the BKT EuroCup since joining this past summer.

The 31-year-old added 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals to his 18-point scoring display, which was punctuated by making 6 of his 10 three-point attempts. His confident shooting from beyond the arc added a much-needed spark in a must-win game, as the Italian team attempted to turn its campaign around.

Coming into the game, Valentine had only reached double figures in scoring once in European competition this season. The performance over Slask sparks a real breakout moment in the former NBA player’s Reyer career. Though he only played 21 minutes, Valentine was able to lead the second unit and totally shift the momentum.

“I think it was a team win,” Valentine said. “Everyone contributed. The second unit came in and we played really good defense. We were consistent all game and that’s what got us the win.”

After the game, he received the backing of his head coach Neven Spahija, who was full of praise for Valentine and the rest of the Reyer bench.

“In the last quarter, we finally started to play defense the way we want to play,” Spahija stated. “In that quarter, we did excellent offensively and better defensively. We won almost every category in that quarter. After we suffered in the last two games on the road, we deserved this win.”

Wiltjer agreed with his coach, echoing the pride in his team’s steadiness down the stretch, against an albeit undermanned Slask team.

“A lot of guys stepped up and we played with fire in the fourth quarter. I’m so glad we got the win.”

Though missing three key players, Slask head coach Ainars Bagatskis was visibly frustrated after the game. He felt that the team had prepared properly for the clash, but was ultimately punished for its late-game complacency.

“I don’t really know what to say, as the game was exactly as we planned,” said Bagatskis. “Their offensive talent is really incredible and if you became relaxed, soft or if you were thinking too much, they will immediately punish you. We were in the game for 33 minutes. Some of our guys forgot about who they play against, they made three three-point shots in a row and that changed the game totally.”

The result ends Slask’s perfect home record in the competition, seeing it drop to a 2-3 mark. Valentine and his teammates will be relieved to have improved their record to 2-3 after a tough start.

The ex-NBA guard had his best EuroCup performance to date in Round 7
