With just six games to go in the 7DAYS EuroCup Regular Season, the race to reach the playoffs is beginning to heat up. On Tuesday night, [U-BT Cluj-Napoca (4-8) takes on 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys (5-7)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/u-bt-cluj-napoca-7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys/U2022/122/) in a battle between ninth and eighth in the playoffs. If the season was to end today, Lietkabelis would make the playoffs and Cluj would miss out.

Back in Round 4, Lietkabelis edged past Cluj 89-84 at Cido Arena, but it went right down the wire. Jamel Morris led the way for Lietkabelis that day, scoring 24 points, while he was helped by 16 points from Zeljko Sakic and 14 from Kristian Kullamae. Cluj had Leonardo Meindl (22) and Andrija Stipanovic (20) combine for 42 points, but it wasn’t enough.

After that defeat, Cluj fell to 1-3, whereas Lietkabelis improved to 2-2. Since then, the picture has looked a little better for Cluj, going 3-5, while Lietkabelis has had the same record in that time. Last week, in Round 12, Lietkabelis was able to bring a four-game losing streak to an end by beating Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse 92-88. Cluj, however, lost 95-90 at Umana Reyer Venice after getting back on track in Round 11.

Coming into Tuesday's matchup, Lietkabelis forward Gediminas Orelik will be looking to carry over his form from Round 12, as he scored 27 points in his team's win against Bourg. He will need more assistance from his teammates, though, as only Morris (14) and Vytenis Lipkevicius (11) joined him in double figures.

From a Cluj perspective, Meindl and Stipanovic had 15 points apiece, while Stefan Bircevic and Kasey Shepherd each scored 13 points, Patrick Richard contributed 12 and Emanuel Cate finished with 10. Sharing the scoring load around again could be a key to Tuesday's meeting with Lietkabelis.

Cluj and Lietkabelis's best plays in Round 12

"Everybody knows this is an important game. We will play against a good team which is also fighting for a playoff spot," said Cluj head coach Mihai Silvasan in his pre-game press conference. "This is not a decisive game, because there are five games left. From our point of view, we need to focus on the small details. We cannot dream about a victory if we do not know what to do. So far, anybody can win against anybody in this group. We need to focus on our game and limits and not think about the results from the past."

Despite Coach Silvasan's comments to the contrary, this game could end up being decisive by the end of the season, as Cluj could either match Lietkabelis's record or find itself two games behind. What's more, with just five points deciding their first matchup, Cluj will have to bear that in mind if it comes down to the tiebreaker at the end of the season. It should be another great game, so make sure to tune in from 18:30 CET on Tuesday.

Much is made of three-point shooting in basketball these days – and rightfully so. It's difficult to understate the influence spacing and jump-shooting has had on the global game over the last decade. Nonetheless, interior scoring remains an important aspect of winning basketball.

Around 39% of all shots in the 7DAYS EuroCup this season have been attempted from the basket area. Those shots have been converted an impressive 64% of the time. While not all attempts are created equal, with a layup in transition being far easier to make than a contested scoop in traffic, the players below have made the most of their opportunities this season.

A total of 63 players have attempted 36 or more shots inside so far this season. [Derek Willis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/derek-willis/009664/) of Umana Reyer Venice has been the most consistent finisher in that group. Having earned a reputation as a jump shooter early in his career, Willis's ability to time his cuts and finish alley-oops has made him one of the most complete off-the-ball weapons the EuroCup has to offer. He has made a sensational 1.30 points per possession overall this year as a result.

[Gyorgy Goloman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/gyorgy-goloman/011932/) of 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys and [Aleksander Balcerowski](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/aleksander-balcerowski/007553/) of Gan Canaria both stand over 2.10 meters, present big targets around the rim for teammates, and have been brutally effective in close this year. While both do much of their scoring off cuts, rolls, and put-backs, Goloman has also grown into a capable shooter over the last several years and will take what opposing defenses give him, often driving to the rim after he slides out to the three-point line.

Young French frontcourt players [Jalen Hoard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jaylen-hoard/006835/) of Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv and [Ismael Kamagate](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/ismael-kamagate/011926/) of Paris Basket have both been effective in close this season, with Kamagate leading the EuroCup in dunks and Hoard leading all players in overall scoring efficiency at 1.43 points per possession.

The EuroCup's top finishers around the rim

U-BT Cluj-Napoca has three of the next five players in this ranking. While the Romanian club has had some ups and downs on the perimeter, they lead the EuroCup shooting a tremendous 72% around the rim as a team. [Karel Guzman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/karel-guzman/011797/), [Andrija Stipanovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/andrija-stipanovic/005113/), and [Emanuel Cate](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/emanuel-cate/005373/) have all been very opportunistic in close, while Stipanovic currently leads all players in points scored inside as well. He is one of nine players who have scored more than 100 points around the rim through Round 12.

[Sam Dekker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/sam-dekker/009672/) of the London Lions, [Zach Auguste](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/zach-auguste/007948/) of Frutti Extra Bursaspor, and [Tyrique Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tyrique-jones/011981/) of Turk Telekom Ankara just missed the cut for the list above despite being the only other three players who have scored over 110 points in close. There's no shortage of quality finishers in the EuroCup this season and the efficiency of some of the league's highest volume shooters reflects how much of an impact those players can make on the scoreboard for their respective teams.

Sam Dekker leads London Lions to victory in BBL Cup Final

The [London Lions](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/london-lions/roster/lli/?season=2022-23) have secured the first piece of silverware on offer in Britain this season after beating the Leicester Riders 71-79 in the BBL Cup Final at a sold-out Utilita Arena Birmingham on Sunday afternoon.

 

London star Sam Dekker was named BBL Cup Final MVP after scoring a game-high 22 points and finishing with 9 rebounds. Veteran center Kosta Koufos recorded a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double, while Luke Nelson had 11 points. Ovie Soko and Aaron Best contributed 10 points apiece, too.

The Lions took the first lead of the game and never let up, sharing the offensive workload around as it opened a 16-21 advantage after the first 10 minutes of play. There was some concern for London as Dekker appeared to be limping in the first quarter, but he was able to continue. Dekker and Koufos ensured that London remained focused in the second quarter, with the former scoring 8 points and the latter adding 4 points and 4 rebounds in the period en route to a 32-41 halftime lead.

 

Leicester found a way to get back into the game after the break, cutting the gap to six points, 38-44, but Koufos and Nelson helped extend it back up to 12, 38-50, with 5:37 minutes remaining in the third quarter. Dekker had a chance to rest in the second half of the third, as Jordan Taylor, Best and Soko helped London enter the fourth quarter ahead 50-64.

 

The final period began with a 6-0 run for Leicester, while Soko fouled out of the game with 8:29 minutes left in the game. Leicester then put four more unanswered points on the board after a London timeout to get within touching distance, 60-64. But, Decker added 6 points to his tally to calm down any nerves in the London camp, 62-70. Soon after, it was the turn of Koufos to step up, as he scored four points in a row, 65-74, before Dekker scored again, 65-76, with 41 seconds left on the clock. Leicester kept fighting, but it was London who came out on top, winning 71-79.

After London's women's team was able to win the WBBL Cup Final earlier in the day at the same venue, the men's side also did enough to become champions. The Lions have a quick turnaround, though, as they travel to take on Buducnost VOLI Podgorica on Wednesday night in 7DAYS EuroCup action.

 Orelik's happy return for Lietkabelis 

A familiar face was back in Kalnapilio Arena for 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys on Wednesday, none other than power forward [Gediminas Orelik](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/gediminas-orelik/002012/), who returned to the team earlier this month and made the difference in a crucial [92-88 home win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys-mincidelice-jl-bourg-en-bresse/U2022/114/) against Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse. 

Orelik already played for Lietkabelis last season, averaging 15.4 points on 41.4% three-point shooting, 4.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and a PIR of 16.5, helping his team reach the playoffs. Orelik continued his career in Turkey but returned to Lietkabelis in early 2023, getting 8 points and 6 rebounds against ratiopharm Ulm last week. 

In his first EuroCup game in Panevezys in many months, however, Orelik was ready: he knew the rims, the atmosphere and most of his teammates, so it was natural for him to stand out and play a leading role. 

"I think it is easier for me \[to adjust\] because I was here last year with the same coaching staff, same everything," Orelik said after the game. "So for me, it is easier to adapt."

Gediminas Orelik had 27 points in his first 7DAYS EuroCup home game this season, leadig 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys to an important win against Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse.

Orelik leads Lietkabelis in Round 12

Once Bourg got off a good start and led 7-14, Orelik followed a layup with a triple in a 7-0 run that tied the game, 14-14. He went on fire in the second quarter, scoring 11 consecutive points on three bombs from beyond the arc and a pair of free throws. For almost 3 minutes, he was the only scorer in the game, leading Lietkabelis from a 22-22 tie to a 33-22 advantage. The hosts never trailed after that. 

Bourg rallied from a 27-point deficit in the final 9 minutes, using a mammoth 1-23 run to get within 75-69. When Lietkabelis needed answers, Orelik provided them with a critical three-pointer and a couple of foul shots. When the dust settled, Lietkabelis had won 92-88. Orelik finished the game with 27 points and a PIR of 29, matching the best mark by a Lietkabelis player this season. Gyorgy Goloman also had a PIR of 29 in a Round 6 victory against Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana. 

By bringing back a player who knows the club and the competition so well, Lietkabelis has taken a step forward in its quest to return to the EuroCup Playoffs, adding much-needed leadership, shooting and experience. Lietkabelis fans knew what to expect from Orelik, and it didn't take him long to prove he is again the perfect fit for the team, helping it break a four-game losing streak against one of the best teams in Group A.
