Valencia Basket-FC Barcelona | Round 28 Highlights | 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
The teams needed a few trips up and down the court to get things going. Blossomgame opened the scoring with a put-back slam and Martin Hermannsson drove through the Ulm defense for a layup and Valencia’s first basket. Thomas Klepeisz put the hosts ahead with a triple and despite the best efforts of Tobey, Ulm retained a slim lead. However, Felicio and Christon each scored twice in a 10-0 run for a 19-8 lead. Pradilla ended the Valencia drought to make it 19-10 after 10 minutes.
The Valencia big men trimmed the deficit as Bojan Dubljevic scored in the offensive glass and Pradilla dunked twice to get within 21-16. Back-to-back threes by Per Guenther and Philipp Herkenhoff and another by Fedor Zugic highlighted an 11-0 run that allowed Ulm to double-up Valencia, 32-16. Dubljevic scored twice more through offensive rebounds – the second an and-one that gave him 1,500 points in the competition. Klepeisz knocked down another three to keep Ulm rolling. Free throws by Blossomgame gave Ulm a comfortable 42-27 cushion at halftime.
Pradilla scored twice in the first few minutes of the second half to trim the Valencia deficit to 11. A layup by Dubljevic made it 46-37 midway through the quarter. Ulm struggled to crack the Valencia defense as Pradilla added a three-point play. Karim Jallow tried to revive the hosts with a score and Blossomgame added free throws, but Valencia had found its rhythm. Rivero scored at one end and made a defensive stop at the other. Tobey netted a three to make it 50-48. Free throws by Guenther and Blossomgame helped Ulm hold on to a narrow margin. Xavi Lopez-Arostegui made free throws to get Valencia within 1 before Fedor Zugic’s dunk ended the third quarter at 55-52.
Josep Puerto’s four-point play completed the Valencia comeback, 55-58. Christon gave Ulm hope with a jumper, but Valencia had the momentum and a tip-in by Tobey made it 57-63. Christon made free throws to keep Ulm within striking distance. Free throws by Felicio and Klepeisz got the margin down to 65-67 with less than 3 minutes to go. Christon missed a floater to tie it and Lopez-Arostegui countered with a three from the corner with 1:35 to play and he all but sealed the outcome with free throws with 36 seconds left.
