Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul snatched 14 offensive rebounds and committed only 9 turnovers in beating Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana 83-88 on the road to snap a three-game losing streak.  

 Offensive boards, few turnovers got Besiktas back in win column  

Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul stayed true to its strengths of offensive rebounding and limiting turnovers to fight past Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana and return to its winning ways. 

Besiktas snatched 14 offensive rebounds and committed only 9 turnovers in beating Cedevita [83-88](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/cedevita-olimpija-ljubljana-besiktas-emlakjet-istanbul/U2023/115/) on the road to snap a three-game losing streak.  

“This was not the most beautiful game from our side but the win was important," Besiktas head coach Dusan Alimpijevic said. "In the end, the desire to grab the ball, the desire to go for one more offensive rebound, it was something that decided this match."

### Delgado ruled on the glass

[Angel Delgado](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/angel-delgado/012647/) not only led Besiktas in scoring with 19 points but he also grabbed 12 rebounds, 5 of them coming from the offensive glass. And a pair of them came on one trip down the floor in the final 34 seconds. 

"Cedevita played really good. But we needed offensive rebounds and that's what we did. That is something they can't do well and we knew that. So we attacked that,” said Delgado, who came into the game ranked fourth in the EuroCup with 8.3 total rebounds and second in offensive rebounds with 3.4 per game.Delgado’s excellence under the basket is a big reason Besiktas was ranked fifth in the league in offensive rebounds with 11.9 per game. And winless Cedevita, ranked 17th in offensive rebounds allowed at 12.2 per game, is the worst rebounding team in the competition. 

Besiktas also limits offensive rebounds to its opponents, allowing just 9.0 per game – ranked second fewest. As such, Coach Alimpijevic’s side gave up just 7 boards to the Cedevita offense. 

### Besiktas protected the ball

Another major key for Besiktas was losing the ball just 9 times. The Turkish side had committed only 11.5 turnovers a contest – third-fewest in the league  entering the game.

It was a good matchup in that regard for Besiktas, as Cedevita ranked last in turnovers forced with just 10.5 per game.

Excelling in those two areas helped Besiktas snap a losing skid.

Stark, Blumbergs give Aris spark 

Aris Midea Thessaloniki took an important step forwards to reach the playoffs in Group B, downing Turk Telekom Ankara 85-95 in the Turkish capital on Tuesday. Aris now has a 5-7 record and a 2-0 sweep over one of its pursuers in Turk Telekom. 

Vassilis Toliopoulos was once again Aris's floor general, getting 20 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, but an inspired newcomer and a teammate posting career-best numbers had to do a lot with this win.

### What a EuroCup debut by Stark!

It was [Jonathan Stark](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jonathan-stark/012792/)'s first EuroCup game ever, and he made sure it was one that Aris fans will remember. Stark stepped up big late in the third quarter, when Turk Telekom rallied to get within 53-56. He scored around the basket, buried a jumper and added a three-pointer to give Aris plenty of fresh air, 59-66, after 30 minutes.

Stark kept it going, too, ultimately getting 17 of his 19 points in the final 12 minutes. He buried 5 of 6 two-pointers, 2 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, drawing 4 fouls to amass a PIR of 20.

Roberts Blumbergs and Jonathan Stark helped Aris Midea Thessaloniki get a 85-95 road win against Turk Telekom Ankara.

### Blumbergs came back strong

Additionally, [Roberts Blumbergs](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/roberts-blumbergs/012717/) had been battling with injuries this season, missing eight games. In five previous appearances, he had averaged 3.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and a PIR of 2.4, hitting 18.2% of his shots from beyond the arc.

This time, Blumbergs was very active from the very beginning of the game. He needed just 4 seconds to become the first player to score, on a two-handed dunk. Blumbergs soon added a layup-plus-free throw that helped Aris build an early 5-13 lead.

He finished with a career-high 12 points with no shots missed, going 3-for-3 on two pointers, 1-for-1 behind the arc and 3-for-3 from the foul lines. Blumbergs added 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 3 fouls drawn for a PIR of 20. In five previous games, Blumbergs has amassed a combined PIR of 12.

JL Mincidelice Bourg en Bresse extended its winning streak to a club-record six games and hit 15 three-pointers before holding on to an 89-98 win over U-BT Cluj-Napoca on Tuesday. The win gave Bourg a season sweep of Cluj-Napoca and lifted its record to 10-2 while Cluj dropped to 8-4 in a tie for third. Bourg scored a club-record 37 first-quarter points and held 20-point margins at the ends of the first two quarters. The lead grew to 27 points, 40-67, before Cluj made its run behind D.J. Seeley, Bryce Jones and Patrick Richard to get within 78-83 before Bourg replied with a 0-7 run and cruised to the finish.

The hosts melted the deficit through Jones, who scored 7 points in a 9-2 run, but Lewis nailed another triple, Bourg's ninth, to make the visitors take a 20-point lead into halftime, 35-55.

### Despite rally, Cluj got no closer than 5

Cluj started the second half with some extra energy, but triples by Mike and Jeremy Morgan kept Bourg in charge, 39-65. After Karel Guzman's steals and a three-point play got Cluj going again, Seeley and Mike exchanged three-pointers before Richard hit his own to make it 57-73. A series of 8 free throws by Richard and Seeley cut the difference it to 65-75, but Salash beat the third-quarter buzzer with a triple and Earl Rowland hit another early in the fourth to make it 67-81. Cluj continued its charge, getting 8 straight second-chance points, including back-to-back triples from Seeley and Adam Mokoka, that made it 78-83. However, that's when Brown nailed a tough corner triple for the visitors and followed it with a jumper before a fastbreak dunk by Mike capped a 0-7 run that restored Bourg's double-digit margin with 4:30 to go. The visitors closed out the game from there.

The visitors set a pair of club records and solidified their hold on second place in Group B.

Aris gets pivotal road win, 85-95, in Ankara

The 8-3 U-BT Cluj-Napoca comes up against the 9-2 JL Bourg in Round 12 of the 2023-24 EuroCup season, with both teams towards the top of the standings.

U-BT Cluj-Napoca, JL Bourg face off in a colossal clash in Group B

There are still seven games to go in the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season, but [the matchup between U-BT Cluj-Napoca (8-3) and Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse (9-2) in Round 12](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/u-bt-cluj-napoca-mincidelice-jl-bourg-en-bresse/U2023/116/) could go some way towards determining playoff seeding in Group B.

With Cluj currently third in the standings, albeit with the same record as ratiopharm Ulm in fourth, and Bourg alone in second place, something has to give when they go head-to-head at BTarena. 

### Cluj is a different force at home

A 5-1 record on its home floor shows how dominant Cluj has been at BTarena, with the team’s only defeat coming against the juggernaut that is Dreamland Gran Canaria in Round 8. On the road has been a bit of a different story, with Cluj going 3-2, but Tuesday evening’s clash is a good chance for Mihai Silvasan’s side [to make a big statement](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/veteran-experience-helped-ubt-cluj-napoca-seal-its-eighth-win/). 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Never stop fighting till the victory! Let&#39;s go! <a href="https://t.co/GZaS2GC816">https://t.co/GZaS2GC816</a></p>&mdash; U-BT Cluj-Napoca (@UBTCluj) <a href="https://twitter.com/UBTCluj/status/1734957036436107302?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 13, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Over the last three games, veteran forward [Andrija Stipanovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/andrija-stipanovic/005113/) has increased his scoring average to 16.0 points per game. Cluj’s offense has particularly impressed since Round 9, with a further four players posting a double-digit number of points: [D.J. Seeley](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/dennis-seeley/004862/) (15.3 ppg.), [Patrick Richard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/patrick-richard/011801/) (14.3 ppg.), [Jarell Eddie](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jarell-eddie/010569/) (13.7 ppg.) and [Emanuel Cate](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/emanuel-cate/005373/) (11.7 ppg.).

Andrija Stipanovic, D.J. Seeley and Patrick Richard have shined bright for U-BT Cluj-Napoca since Round 9 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season.

Cluj's star trio since Round 9

Cluj has scored 80 points in all five of its home wins this season, so ensuring that its offense is firing once again will no doubt be one of the main keys to determining the result against Bourg.

### Bourg has been on fire lately

Frederic Fauthoux’s Bourg is currently in the midst of a five-game winning run in the EuroCup, which has seen it surge up the standings. That stretch includes three wins at home and two on the road, and that has in turn [improved Bourg to a 6-0 mark at home](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/aggressive-bourg-triumphed-despite-shooting-woes/) and 3-2 on its travels.

Like Cluj, Bourg has some weapons of its own on offense. [Jeremy Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jeremy-morgan/010431/) has been very impressive during his team’s five-game winning streak, averaging a team-high 13.4 points per contest. He has had plenty of help, too, as [Zaccharie Risacher](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/zaccharie-risacher/010718/) has posted 12.0 points in the last five games, [Isiaha Mike](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/isiaha-mike/011836/) 11.6 ppg. and [Maksim Salash](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/maksim-salash/004525/) 11.6 ppg.

Jeremy Morgan, Zaccharie Risacher and Isiaha Mike have all impressed as Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse has gone on a five-game winning streak in the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season.

Bourg's key trio during winning run

Just three weeks ago, Bourg went on the road and recorded a statement win at Ulm, coming out on top 84-89. If Coach Fauthoux’s squad was to do the same at Cluj, it would not only see it start to pull away in second place but it would deal a blow to Coach Silvasan’s charges, who would find themselves two games back of the French team.

There is always a good atmosphere at BTarena and Tuesday evening is going to be no different, so make sure to tune in from 18:00 CET to see how Cluj and Bourg get on. Playoff seeding is starting to enter the minds of the teams towards the top of the standings, and a win for either Cluj or Bourg would be the perfect Christmas present for whoever secures the victory. Will Bourg pull away or can Cluj make it a three-team fight for second spot? We will find out on Tuesday evening.

The two teams are third and second, respectively, in the standings.

Cluj, Bourg face off in a colossal clash in Group B

Only eight BKT EuroCup players have made more triples over the last five rounds than much-improved Slask guard Daniel Golebiowski.

Who's hot: Daniel Golebiowski, Slask Wroclaw

Slask Wroclaw sits at the bottom of Group B standings with a 1-10 record, but the team has been highly competitive lately. Each of Slask's last six losses were in the single digits, four of them by 5 points or less.

During this span, second-year guard [Daniel Golebiowski](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/daniel-golebiowski/011900/) has begun to find his footing and start making noise, especially from long range. His much-improved performances have helped Slask compete.

After knocking down just 7 triples on 38 attempts in 17 appearances last season, then opening this campaign 1-for-9 from three-point range in his first five games, Golebiowski has been one of the EuroCup's best long-distance shooters since mid-November.

Starting from Round 7, Golebiowski has made a total of 12 triples, nearly double his total over his first 22 appearances in the competition. 

What's more, only eight EuroCup players have made more than his 12 threes in the last five games, and his have come on highly-respectable 42.9% accuracy.

Daniel Golebiowski Top Plays from 12/01/2023 to 12/20/2023

Over that span, Golebiowski has been by far the best Slask shooter while significantly improving his scoring averages. After averaging just 4.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.4 rebounds through Round 6, the 25-year-old has been posting 11.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds since.

Golebiowski scored in double figures and hit multiple triples in four of the last five games, a streak that started with 10 points on 2-for-5 three-point shooting on the road against Group B leader Dreamland Gran Canaria. It continued with Slask guard scoring 14 points apiece in clashes against 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys and Turk Telekom Ankara. The latter game was Slask's lone win this season, and Golebiowski had a major role with 14 points on 3-for-8 three-point shooting, and 4 assists.

Last week, Golebiowski was again a major contributor as Slask took U-BT Cluj Napoca to the wire before falling 80-76. He had 13 points on 2-for-5 accuracy from behind the arc to go with 4 assists and 3 rebounds.

This week, as Slask aims to play the spoiler's role [at home against playoff hopeful Buducnost VOLI Podgorica](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/slask-wroclaw-buducnost-voli-podgorica/U2023/117/), Golebiowski is poised to help the team by continuing his own run.

U18 talents undertake a battle for supremacy starting January 26

Paris, Dubai and Podgorica join Belgrade as ANGT qualifier hosts!

The Euroleague Basketball Adidas Next Generation Tournament is pleased to announce its schedule of qualifiers for 2024, which brings the world-class showcase for elite young basketball talents to three exciting new host cities: Paris, France; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and Podgorica, Montenegro. The fourth qualifier will be in Belgrade, marking the 16th consecutive season that the Serbian capital welcomes the tournament.

The format stays the same, with the winner of each ANGT Qualifying Tournament advancing to compete for the continental junior club crown at the 2024 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Berlin, Germany.

At each qualifying stop, a new Next Generation Team made up of young stars from clubs not affiliated with other ANGT clubs will be among the eight participants, ensuring that a full range of the continent’s best talent will be represented in the tournament. Former EuroLeague star Petteri Koponen will resume his role from last season as head coach for all four of the Next Generation Teams, sharing his wealth of experience with the players. This season, the Next Generation Select Team will not participate in the eight-team ANGT Finals. Its spot will be filled by a different team through a wild card.

The first qualifying event this season will take place from January 26 to 28 in Podgorica, with SC Derby serving as the host club. This marks the debut of the ANGT qualifiers to the Montenegrin capital. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade will host the second tournament in its home city from March 1 to 3. Having hosted a qualifying round since the introduction of that phase in the 2008-09 season, Belgrade continues its legacy as a showcase city for rising stars.

A first-time ANGT qualifier outside continental Europe will come to Dubai from March 22 to 24, with local squad Dubai Basketball Academy as the event host. The tournament will be played at Coca Cola Arena in Dubai, with a capacity for 17,000 spectators. The fourth and final qualifier will run from March 29 to 31 in Paris, to be hosted by SKWEEK with coordinated support from adidas and Paris Basketball.
