Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse hosts ratopharm Ulm in Round 15. It is a critical game for both teams in a race to reach the knock-out rounds from Group B.
Keys to victory: Bourg vs. Ulm



Bourg needs to limit its turnovers
Bourg comes off a tough loss against Frutti Extra Bursaspor in which it shot the ball well, hitting 21 of 31 two-pointers (67.7% 2FG) and 12 of 17 three-pointers (70.6%). However, Bourg committed 18 turnovers – which was twice as many as Bursaspor – and it needs to take much better care of the ball against a high-tempo team like ratiopharm Ulm. Bourg is the runaway leader in three-point shooting (43.5% 3FG) but is at the bottom of the standings in offensive rebounds (7.6 orpg.), so there is room for improvement.

Time for Ulm’s stars to step up
Ulm is currently on a four-game losing streak in which the team has struggled on defense, allowing 91.5 points on average. In the previous four games, Ulm had allowed 70.0 points. In Round 15, Gran Canaria outrebounded Ulm 29-40, pulling down 19 offensive boards. Without Cristiano Felicio, Philipp Herkenhoff should see most of the minutes at the center spot, facing a key matchup against Pierre Pelos. Semaj Christon, Jaron Blossomgame and Fedor Zugic should look for advantages in one-on-one situations. If Ulm's stars step up, it should be closer to a critical win.
