Aris B.C. has given its playoff hopes a boost in the EuroCup by beating Lietkabelis Panevezys 69-60 in Round 11 of the 2023-24 regular season.

Aris B.C. downs Lietkabelis Panevezys at home, 69-60, snaps four-game losing skid 

Aris Midea Thessaloniki grabbed a crucial victory in the fight to stay in the race for the BKT EuroCup Playoffs by defeating 7bet-Lietkabelis Paneveyzs at home, 69-60, to snap a four-game losing streak. Aris finished the game on a 13-3 run, but it was unable to make up the difference from the first matchup — an 84-74 Lietkabelis home win — which means the Lithuanian side holds the tiebreaker between the teams.

Ronnie Harrell scored 18 points to lead the way for Aris, which is now 4-7 in Group B. Vassilis Toliopoulos added 16 points and Roberto Gallinat chipped in 13 points. Lietkabelis has now lost three straight to fall to 4-7. The Lithuanian club could not take advantage of Deividas Sirvydis scoring 16 points, as it committed 23 turnovers.

### The threeball aided Aris

Lietkabelis had just 10 players on the night, with two of the missing players being its top two point guards, Vytenis Lipkevicius and Donatas Sabeckis. Roberts Blumbergs scored Aris’s first 5 points for a 5-2 early score and Gediminas Orelik’s three-pointer gave the guests their first lead, 5-7. The game went back and forth with seven lead changes as Gallinat hit 2 three-pointers and Harrell had 1 as Aris moved ahead, 18-14. The score was 18-16 after 10 minutes.

### Lietkabelis had two 3-minute dry spells

Marcus Carr’s three-point play started the second quarter and Gallinat drained a triple. Aris went ahead 24-16 as it took Lietkabelis more than 3 minutes to score. Nikola Popovic answered with the next 4 points, only to have Harrell and Toliopoulos hit triples to make it 30-20. Lietkabelis went scoreless for more than 3 minutes until an Orelik triple, but another Harrell three-pointer had the hosts up 35-24 at intermission.

### Lietkabelis fought back after the break

Sirvydis scored Lietkabelis’s first 5 points of the second half and Aris’s scoring woes early on allowed the guests get within 37-34 on Martynas Varnas’s layup. Harrell responded with a couple of layups for Aris, but Sirvydis converted a three-point play and Lietkabelis was down just 41-40. Silvio de Sousa punched back with the next 4 points, with Aris leading 47-44 after 30 minutes.

### Aris saw the win over the line

De Sousa continued his strong stretch with a layup and jumper as Aris grabbed a 51-44 lead. Lietkabelis needed more than 2 minutes to score, but Stefan Bircevic and Sirvydis both knocked down three-pointers to close the gap to 51-50. An unsportsmanlike foul on Gallinat resulted in a Varnas free throw, before a second Bircevic triple saw Lietkabelis take the lead, 53-54. After Toliopoulos and Varnas both hit triples, Aris made 4 free throws and Harrell pushed the margin to 62-57. Lietkabelis only scored one basket in the final 3 minutes and 2 turnovers by the guests in the final minute allowed Gallinat’s layup with 19 seconds to secure the win at 66-59. Aris was still hoping to maybe take the tiebreaker, but Sirvydis converted 1 free throw with 9 seconds left.

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv notched its fourth straight win in the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season by [downing Wolves Vilnius 81-89 in Round 11](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/hapoel-tel-aviv-bc-shows-its-quality-against-bc-wolves-81-89/), with [Braian Angola](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/braian-angola/010465/) once again showing why he is one of the competition’s most exciting players.

The 29-year-old, playing in his first full season in the EuroCup, had another solid all-round game for Hapoel, posting 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 0 turnovers. That final stat is particularly interesting on a night that saw the Israeli side commit 18 turnovers, the same total as the Wolves.

### Braian Angola made winning plays

 

Angola hit the first triple of the night at Avia Solutions Group Arena to make it 2-5, before then knocking down another shot from behind the arc after having grabbed a defensive board at the other end, 7-10. The Colombian played the remainder of the first quarter and then the last 4:48 minutes of the second.

 

Once 20 minutes were in the books, Angola had ended the first half with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Not spectacular numbers, but it shows how he impacted the game in many different ways, with Hapoel leading 38-46 at the break.

 

In the third quarter, Angola added a triple and a mid-range jumper as he moved to double digits in points, with the latter basket helping keep Hapoel in the driving seat, 53-57. Yet, it was in the fourth quarter where he really put his fingerprints on proceedings.

Braian Angola had 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 0 turnovers as Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv beat Wolves Vilnius 81-89 in Round 11 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season.

Braian Angola's highlights vs. Wolves

### Hapoel had Angola to thank for its win

 

With the game on the line in the fourth quarter, Angola appeared with a triple to make it 62-65 after Hapoel and the Wolves were tied 62-62 after 30 minutes. Then, he linked up with Jaylen Hoard for an alley-oop, 64-67, before hitting a stepback jumper over the outstretched arm of Christian Mekowulu, 64-69. That all came in the first 1:44 of the final period.

 

Angola wasn’t done there. With 5:01 left, Angola raced back and put enough pressure on Tre’Shawn Thurman that the Wolves player ended up missing a layup, which would’ve tied the game at 74-74. Hoard then went 1-of-2 from the charity stripe, 72-75, before Angola dished a beautiful assist to Tomer Ginat for an easy layup, 72-77.

 

What’s more, just when it looked like Angola’s work was done and Hapoel’s fourth successive win was in the bag, he appeared once more to put the cherry on top of the cake. With just 10 seconds to go, Angola knocked down a couple of free throws to make it 81-89 in what was the last score of the game. That meant his final numbers stood at 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 0 turnovers. Not a bad night’s work for Hapoel’s No. 11.

Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C. won for the fourth game in a row in the EuroCup by beating BC Wolves 81-89, which is the Lithuanian side's third straight defeat in the competition.

Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C. shows its quality against BC Wolves, 81-89

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv pulled away from a valiant Wolves Vilnius in the fourth quarter to win 81-89 at Avia Solutions Group Arena in Round 11 of the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season. Thanks to this victory, Hapoel improved to an 8-2 record in Group A, whereas the Wolves dropped to a 4-6 mark.

Jaylen Hoard paced Hapoel with a game-high 20 points. Braian Angola added 18, Xavier Munford chipped in with 16, Tomer Ginat had 13 and J’Covan Brown finished with 10. For the Wolves, Christian Mekowulu and Tre’Shawn Thurman, who fouled out late in the fourth quarter, had a team-high 14 points apiece. Three Wolves players – Eigirdas Zukauskas, Vaidas Kariniauskas and Kristupas Zemaitis – all had 11 points each, too.

### A slow burner in the first quarter

The score was just 4-5 after 3 minutes of play, but Jeffery Taylor came into the game with 5:57 to go in the first quarter in what was his first appearance of the season. The 2017-18 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champion with Real Madrid made an instant impact, too, knocking down a three to make it 7-5. Hapoel soon began to take control, with Angola and Brown knocking down a triple apiece, 8-13, but Kariniauskas's attempted alley-oop pass-turned-shot went in and set a 17-19 score after 10 minutes.

### Wolves refused to let Hapoel pull away

A bit of a three-point contest opened the second quarter, with three of the first four makes — one for Hapoel, two for the Wolves — coming from behind the arc, 23-24. The two teams continued to go back and forth, with Mekowulu causing problems inside for Hapoel, but a Munford-inspired end to the second quarter saw him score 10 points in 3:32. That allowed the visitors to open a game-high 9-point lead, 35-44. Zukauskas's triple cut the difference, 38-44, but Idan Zalmanson beat the halftime buzzer with a mid-range jumper from the right wing.

### Hapoel always had an answer for the Wolves

Hapoel seemed to keep finding ways to maintain its lead, but it had to work very hard to do so. Regimantas Miniotas scored the Wolves' first two field goals of the second half, following a couple of free throws by Thurman, to make it 44-48. But, Hapoel had a response every time, with Ginat scoring a layup and Angola knocking down a three, 44-53. Back-to-back triples by Thurman and Zukauskas brought the Wolves close again, 53-55, before another surge from the visitors. Eventually, with 1:24 to go, the Wolves tied the game at 61-61 after Kariniauskas three-point play. The Wolves even had the chance to enter the final period with the lead, but Arnas Berucka went 1-of-4 from the line on two trips, meaning it was 62-62 after 30 minutes.

### The visitors' quality came to the fore

Angola made an immediate impact to start the fourth, scoring a three-pointer, dishing an alley-oop assist and scoring a stepback jumper to put Hapoel ahead by 5, 64-69. The hosts bounced back yet again, though, as managed to take the lead, 71-70, after a Mekowulu layup. That seemed to wake up Hapoel again, as the Israeli side took the lead again on a deep Brown two-pointer, 71-72, and never trailed again. The Wolves kept fighting the rest of the way, but with Thurman fouling out with 2:58 left, the task was always going to be tough. Taylor's layup made it 79-84 with 1:33 to go, then missed a three on the Wolves' next possession, which would have made it 82-84, but instead Ginat scored a layup to pull the visitors ahead by 7, 79-86. Hapoel saw the win over the line in the final 33 seconds, coming away with an 81-89 triumph.

U-BT Cluj-Napoca got back to winning ways on Tuesday night, as it held on to an 80-76 win over Slask Wroclaw, which is in last place in Group B. This win improved Cluj to a 8-3 record, good enough for at least a share of the third place in Group B when Round 11 ends, while Slask dropped to a 1-10 mark.

Cluj controlled the majority of the game and led by as many as 14 points in the second quarter, but Slask erased the deficit in the second half and even went in front, 67-68, with 4 minutes to go. But Cluj replied with a 9-1 run, before the hosts closed out the game. 

Andrija Stipanovic paced the winners with 19 points, Patrick Richard finished with 12 points and 8 assists, and Adam Mokoka scored 11 for Cluj. Dusan Miletic collected 16 points and 8 rebounds for Slask, while Daniel Golebiowski and Andrii Voinalovych scored 13 apiece.

### A strong start from Cluj

Cluj took control from the get-go, with Stipanovic scoring 10 points as the hosts opened a 15-4 lead. Slask struggled for the first 5 minutes before Voinalovych hit a pair of triples, but Jarell Eddie hit one from downtown for Cluj, helping it to a 20-13 lead after 10 minutes. 

### Breathing room for Cluj at halftime

Cluj went on to score the first 6 points of the second, taking the issue inside every time, and Emanuel Cate made it 26-13. Hassani Gravett and Golebiowski stopped the bleeding, but Mihai Maciuca and Mokoka hit a three apiece for Cluj to extend the margin to 34-20. However, Slask did not let the hosts pull away, as Golebiowski and Aleksander Wisniewski each knocked down a three-pointer to help the visitors cut it to 43-32 at halftime.

### Slask refused to roll over

Slask closed the gap some more immediately after the break with a three-point play from Artsiom Parakhouski, and a pair of baskets from Voinalovych helped make it 46-43. Mokoka and Stipanovic nudged Cluj further ahead as the teams traded blows, but Gravett beat the buzzer with an up-and-under layup to make it 57-53 after three quarters.

### A late scare, before going up a level

Michal Sitnik and Miletic scored more baskets inside to start the fourth and tie it at 57-57. Cluj restored the lead through Mokoka, but back-to-back threes from Miletic and Voinalovych tied it at 65-65, before Golebiowski's three-point play put the visitors in front, 67-68. But Eddie replied with his third three-pointer, then Richard's basket added to Cluj's tally. A layup from Stipanovic and a pair of foul shots from Richard capped a 9-1 run with 56 seconds to go, 76-69. The game was not over, however, as Slask used the hosts' mistakes to its advantage and scored 5 points in 18 seconds to make it a 2-point margin, but Stipanovic's fastbreak dunk iced the game.

The Lithuanian team will hope [Tre'Shawn Thurman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tre-shawn-thurman/012577/) will regain his usual shooting form after making just 3-of-10 field goal attempts in that defeat.
