Promitheas, which is undefeated at home (2-0) so far this season, struggled its last time out to edge winless Slask Wroclaw 76-78 on the road. Arnoldas Kulboka registered his second double-double of the season (19 points, 12 rebounds) and EuroCup leading scorer Joe Young (23.4 ppg.) scored 20 to lead Promitheas in that game.
After losing at home on opening night, Turk Telekom has reeled off four straight wins, including two on the road. It comes off an 81-66 victory over Dolomiti Energia Trento in which Axel Bouteille scored a season-high 22. Bouteille leads Turk Telekom with 16.4 points per game and Tyrique Jones is second in the EuroCup in rebounding with 8.8 per game.
While Promitheas has one of the EuroCup’s most efficient offenses – it is third in scoring (86.0 ppg.) and commits the fewest turnovers (12.2 per game), it faces a Turk Telekom side that forces the second-most turnovers (16.2 per game) and has made 60.2% of its two-pointers, so the hosts must be ready to fight in the paint.
