### Gran Canaria head coach Jaka Lakovic:

"The first half and the third quarters were good, defensively we were solid. We didn’t give up fastbreak points and we protected the offensive rebound... 

With a 22-point lead we somehow stopped playing, our young guys made some mistakes which is normal. They \[Hamburg\] tried to get back into the game with a lot of contact and they managed to get back but we controlled the game. Every day somebody can step up and today our big guys were present and protected the rim. In offense, they had good finishing around the basket and gave us big help."

 

### Veolia Towers Hamburg head coach Raoul Korner:

"They are a very high-quality team and they proved that tonight. In the first half, we played a little too shy, we could have stepped on their toes a little more. We did that towards the end of the third quarter and in the fourth, we were right up there with them, but we needed more than a solid game.

"We played a solid game but not more and that was not enough. We couldn’t protect the paint and overall we should have been more aggressive. If we are not allowed to run, we have problems to score, that’s not a secret anymore. Our offense looked pretty good today but you have to be very precise against a team like this as they don’t make many mistakes.

"We got a couple of good looks that we didn’t convert into baskets and they don’t give you too many of those. You have to be at a very high percentage and we didn’t execute sharp enough to get enough chances."

### Gran Canaria center Khalifa Diop:

"We played good pick-and-roll defense and also did a good job with defensive and offensive rebounds. I stayed focused on the little details, helping everybody protect the paint and mostly rebounds."

Joventut Badalona grabbed its sixth win in Group A by downing 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys 76-90 at Cido Arena. A much better shooting percentage after the break made the difference in the game. 

 

Joventut trailed 39-37 at halftime and had underwhelming numbers overall, having made just 2 of 9 three-pointers (22.2% 3FG), getting just 6 assists and committing 6 turnovers. Lietkabelis did better in these three aspects of the game, burying 4 of 11 shots from beyond the arc (36.4% 3FG), making only 4 turnovers and dishing 10 assists. Once Joventut found its scoring rhythm, it was a completely different game. 

 

Joventut made 6 three-point shots in the third quarter as it outscored Lietkabelis 19-32. Andres Feliz nailed 3 triples in crunch time to make sure Joventut walked away with a win. Joventut made 10 of 13 three-pointers (76.9% 3FG) after the break, dished 15 assists and made 7 turnovers. Lietkabelis downed 3 of 13 shots from downtown (23.1% 3FG) in the second half with 9 assists and 6 turnovers.

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana earned its first road win of the season when it defeated Group A leader Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse 88-91 at the Ekinox on Wednesday night. The visitors amassed a 31-41 advantage before halftime, but couldn’t confirm the win until the last seconds when Yogi Ferrell sealed the outcome from the free throw line. Cedevita improved to 2-7, while Bourg dropped to 6-3 after its second straight loss.

Josh Adams led the winners with a season-high 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, good for a PIR of 24. Ferrell followed him with 18 points and 4 dimes, as Alen Omic provided 14 points and 6 boards. Jordan Floyd and Pierre Pelos chipped in 22 points apiece for Bourg, the latter also pulling down 7 rebounds. James Palmer and Isiaha Mike added 13 and 11 points, respectively, in the losing effort.

The visitors displayed a great offensive balance and accuracy early in the game, building a 5-12 edge after 3 minutes. Bourg used the three-point line to stay close, nailing 5 triples out of 6 attempts, as the first period finished 23-26 for Cedevita. 

The scoring pace slowed down in the second, which Pelos took advantage of to tie it up, 28-28. Adams came to the rescue to score 8 points in a row and Jeremic followed with a three to grant Cedevita a double-digit lead, 29-39. Bourg didn’t step back and counterattacked with Palmer and Amida Brimah inside to bring the hosts within 41-44 at halftime. 

Bourg continued the run when the game resumed, getting ahead 46-44 right after Palmer completed a three-point play. Omic and Adams combined to return the lead to Cedevita, but it became a one-possession game for a while. The visitors found Lavro Gnjidic and Karlo Matkovic late in the quarter to hold on, as Marko Jeremic buried a triple to keep Cedevita in front, 60-64, after 30 minutes. 

Ferrell and Adams punished Bourg from behind the arc to make it 69-73 and continued supporting the visitors’ offense to extend it to 78-83 entering crunch time. Floyd took over to make it 85-87 with 38 seconds to play, and even though Ferrell seemed to have closed the game from the line soon later, Palmer brought the fans to their feet with a corner three that made it 88-89 with 7 seconds to go. Nevertheless, Ferrell didn’t tremble in the following offense and scored a couple of free throws that put the game to bed.

Paris Basketball came to a sold-out Copper Box Arena on Wednesday night and beat the London Lions 80-93 in the first-ever installment of this derby between the two 7DAYS EuroCup newcomers. By coming away with the win, Paris improved to 6-3 and is now 5-0 on the road, while London dropped to 4-5.

Aamir Simms led Paris with 15 points, and Tyrone Wallace finished as the team's second top scorer with 13. Gauthier Denis and Kyle Allman contributed 12 and 10 points, respectively, too. London found scoring from Sam Dekker, who had a game-high 19 points. Tomislav Zubcic had 17 and Vojtech Hruban ended with 12, while Josh Sharma, Jordan Taylor and Kosta Koufos scored 10 points apiece. For Paris, it was a team effort when it came to scoring, with nine players scoring 6 points or more. London, meanwhile, had six of its players finish with at least 6 points.

There was plenty of noise and excitement inside Copper Box Arena for tipoff, but it was Paris that had the better start to the game, opening a 6-12 lead after Aamir Simms and Axel Toupane combined for 9 points. London kept its composure, though, as it began to find joy in the paint with Josh Sharma, who scored 6 first-quarter points and got the fans off their seats with a couple of thunderous dunks. Thanks to Jordan Taylor's made free throw, London ended the first quarter three points ahead, 19-16. 

The beginning of the second quarter was almost a mirror image of the first, as Paris started strong once again. This time, though, the visitors were able to flip their three-point deficit and make it a 12-point game, 19-31, with 6:21 minutes remaining before halftime. Dekker and Koufos, two of London's most high-profile players, helped lead a response from the hosts, who trimmed the gap to three points, 35-38, not long before the break. Heading into halftime, though, Paris was ahead by seven, 37-44. 

Paris kept its foot on the gas in the third quarter and took advantage of a poor shooting night for London from three-point range, going ahead by as many as 23 points on two occasions – 52-75 and 54-77 – before Tomislav Zubcic hit the Lions' first triple of the night to make it 57-77 going into the fourth.

Optimism was fading inside Copper Box Arena, despite attempts from the crowd to cheer on the team, and Paris showed no sign of letting up. With 2:32 left, Kyle Allman hit a two-pointer to effectively wrap up the visitors' win, 68-90. London put some more points on the board to cut the gap, but it wasn’t enough, with the final score reading 80-93.

London Lions v Paris Basketball (2022-12-21T19:30:00.000Z)

Will Weaver, Paris: 'This kind of environment is special'

### Will Weaver, Paris head coach

"I'd be happy with that performance any night of the week, especially in an environment like this. I think what London's doing, what Ryan \[Schmidt\] is doing, the thing they're building here, the thing we're building in Paris, to be competing in this kind of environment, in this city, in this building, is special for everybody."

### Ryan Schmidt, London head coach

"We had eight guys tonight and \[Paris\] is a good team. I'm not making any excuses, but we're dealing with a lot of injuries, a lot of sickness. We had two guys who played tonight who haven't practiced in three or four days, but they put on the uniform and suited up for their team. I'm proud of these guys. It's December, we¡'re fine, we're 4-5. The second part of the season will come. I feel really confident with where we are as a team, and we're excited to be moving forward."

### Tyrone Wallace, Paris player

"I think we really paid attention to the details today. We were locked into the scouting. We knew what \[London\] wanted to do, as far as personnel. And we played hard. We just have to continue to build on this win here, do the things that we do successufully, sharing the ball. Everyone had fun today, so that was good."

Slask hammers Trento for first win, 80-57

Slask Wroclaw v Dolomiti Energia Trento (2022-12-21T19:00:00.000Z)

### Slask Wroclaw head coach Andrej Urlep:

“We got the monkey off our back so that was very important. We won because of real determination and dedication from the players on the defensive end. It was definitely one of our best defensive games and that’s what got us the win. We got a little lack of energy in the second half, but still we kept working.

“I’m very happy because the players really showed they care about winning. We haven’t lost our desire to win in this EuroCup and we are still in the fight to get to the playoffs. Really great work in the transition game defensively.”

### Dolomiti Energia Trento head coach Emanuele Molin:

“I must congratulate Slask and coach Urlep. They played the game with great intensity and really good tough defense. Even if we come here with a purpose to compete and work hard to try to get a win, what we showed on the court was not enough to even compete. We did not have the mental or physical energy in the first two quarters to react to what Slask did. When the game was broken we tried, but it was a bad night. We look forward and will try to work hard for the next game.”

### Slask Wroclaw guard Jeremiah Martin:

“It feels good. We put together a full 40 minutes. We had a great practice the other day and it carried over into the game. We stuck to the game plan by trying to keep them off the boards."

Coach Urlep, Slask: 'We got the monkey off our back'

### Prometey Slobozhanske head coach Ronen Ginzburg:

"I have a lot of emotions after this game. First of all, to see the fans from Ukraine coming all the way is amazing for the club, for the president and vice president. Now, it is a great win for us. We played against a great team with great tradition and a great coach that I respect a lot. And we showed character and fought. We started the game not good and after 10 minutes, we started playing better defense and in the second half, we played much better defense. It is an amazing win for our young club, 3-4 years, a win here in Italy: amazing!"

### Umana Reyer Venice head coach Walter De Raffaele:

"In general, we missed too many shots. We let open rebounds. Rebounds and 50-50 balls made the difference. We allowed them to go on fastbreak also with easy turnovers. So it was really tough to come back. We came back, had no luck, but they deserved to win this game.

"At the end of the game, Prometey deserved to win this game. They played with more energy, more physicality. We finished the game winning three quarters out of four, but the third quarter changed all the game. We really had many turnovers, bad choices on offense and shot with bad percentages, but the difference was, on my side, about the intensity and the energy that we put on the court, not enough to compete in this game. Also, we had the chance to come back but honestly, we arrived without a lot of energy."

### Prometey Slobozhanske forward D.J. Kennedy:

"This was a big win for us. We played hard. We knew this is one of the better teams on our side, and coming here and winning in an environment like this, it was a big win. It is a tight race for everyone on our side, so it is a huge win for us."

### Prometey Slobozhanske center Ondrej Balvin:

"I think we did an amazing job. We followed our plan. We maybe didn't score as many points as we are used to in the last games but I think we decided our game with our defense, especially in the third quarter. The whole team tightened up and we just played together. I think we made it a little dramatic in the end, when we were missing a lot of free throws and that's the way basketball is played. Luckily, we got over the pressure and were able to close this game."

 

### Prometey Slobozhanske forward Caleb Agada:

"It was a good win, a very, very good win. It felt good to be back after my injury and the team looked good. We have to work on our free throws but we are moving up. We are moving in the right direction, so I am very happy."

Kennedy, Prometey: 'It is a tight race for everyone'
