Buducnost VOLI Podgorica closed its participation in the BKT Eurocup with a meritorious 90-77 win over the visiting Dreamland Gran Canaria at Moraca on Wednesday evening.
The home team needed no more than 6 minutes to take the reins of the game, going on a 10-2 run to finish the first quarter with a 22-16 lead. Buducnost made that difference grow step by step, reaching a 40-25 advantage midway through the second period that remained at the end of the third, 70-55. The visitors waived the white flag early in the fourth quarter after Yoan Makoundou scored 5 points in a row to raise the difference to 20 points, 77-57, and all but seal the outcome with 8 minutes remaining.
Yoan Makoundou led the winners with 21 points in as many minutes, while he also had a PIR of 27. Allerik Freeman followed with 15, and Kenan Kamenjias and Yogi Ferrell chipped in 12 apiece. John Shurna paced the visitors with 17 points, Roko Prkacin netted 14 and Pierre Pelos had 10 in the losing effort. The hosts improved to 8-10 while Gran Canaria slipped to 12-6, wasting the opportunity U-BT Cluj-Napoca had granted the Spanish side with its loss at 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys.

Trefl Sopot-Buducnost VOLI Podgorica | Round 13 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup
Both teams swapped baskets in the early going, as the game saw as many as eight lead changes in the first 5 minutes of the game. Everything the hosts produced when the score was 10-11 midway through the first period came from inside the paint, forcing a couple of three-point plays. Gran Canaria, meanwhile, had Andrew Albicy and Nicolas Brussino scoring from mid and long distance. Shurna punished the hosts again from downtown to put the guests up 12-14, but a 10-2 run based on Buducnost’s dominance under the rim established a 22-16 edge for the hosts at the end of the first period.
Petar Popovic stepped up when the game resumed and helped his team reach a double digit-margin, 28-18, with two quick buckets. Makoundu took over right after with a furious fastbreak dunk and the first Buducnost triple of the night to make it even bigger, 35-20. It wasn’t over just yet, however, as Prkacin and Shurna combined for 13 of the next 18 Gran Canaria points, good to reduce the difference to 47-38 at halftime.
Prkacin and Shurna kept punishing Buducnost after the intermission, which allowed Gran Canaria to get as close as 52-46. Knowing that a win would grant the visitors the second seed in the group, it seemed the guests were starting to create some momentum, but Freeman came to the rescue and scored 7 points, including a couple of threes, to return a double-digit advantage, 62-51, to Buducnost. Freeman had to leave the court soon after because of his fourth foul, which didn’t stop the hosts, though. An unsportsmanlike foul called on Miquel Salvo turned into a five-point play for Buducnost, bringing a 15-point gap back to the game, 70-55, at the end of the third period.
The break didn’t help the visitors regroup, as Kamenjas dropped a couple of free throws to open fire in the last period, and Makoundou capped a dominant display with 5 points in a row that extended the difference to 20 points, 77-57, for the first time in the game. That turned out to be the last and definitive blow for Gran Canaria, which lowered its arms and seemed keen to avoid a more painful punishment until the final buzzer.
