Veolia Towers Hamburg-Umana Reyer Venice | Round 14 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup
The difference in shooting made up for the areas in which Hamburg was deficient in Round 1. Coach Korner’s men were outrebounded 43-32 and gave up 17 offensive boards. Buducnost also scored 17 fastbreak points compared to just 10 for Hamburg. Buducnost also got more from its reserves (40 points) than Hamburg did (34 points). In the end, it did not add up to enough because Hamburg simply made too many shots.
