Paris Basketball went into its home game against Dolomiti Energia Trento without Kyle Allman, but Tyrone Wallace made sure the team’s leading scorer wasn’t missed.

Allman ranked third in the 7DAYS EuroCup in scoring with 18.7 points but Wallace poured in 25 points in Paris's comfortable 86-75 win over Trento.

Wallace’s point total set a new career high for the EuroCup rookie - 8 more than his best until this point. The 28-year-old also added 3 rebounds and 6 assists for an index rating of 29. He also set a new personal best in PIR and tied his career high in assists.

"I really respected and appreciated the way that Ty came out and orchestrated the game for us," Coach Will Weaver said. "He was getting into gaps. When they stayed home, he got in there and finished. And when they collapsed, he found open shooters. He was the steady hand that helped steer the ship."

### Veolia Towers Hamburg head coach Benka Barloschky:

"I am happy and relieved. We took care of the basketball, we rebounded and the guys were very deserving winners tonight.

"Obviously very happy with the win, we were able to take care of the ball and that was a big problem the last game. Today we controlled that in a very good way, we rebounded the ball in a very good way and those were the two aspects that we wanted to do well in. We did and it helped us win the game."

### Slask Wroclaw head coach Andrej Urlep:

"The pace of the game was the big difference. They were twice as fast as us and twice as aggressive. They killed us at both ends of the court and in transition. They knew what they were doing, unfortunately for us, we didn’t have the outside players to be able to respond to that and we definitely lost the boards.

"Of course, I would like to congratulate Hamburg, they played a great game. After a series of losses, they showed how you have to compete for your club. On the other side, we played a very poor game, completely without energy, especially in the second and third quarters. We didn’t do anything defensively while they did everything they wanted to do. In the opening three quarters, we were without an offensive board and that showed how we played."

### Veolia Towers Hamburg forward Seth Hinrichs:

"Obviously it was the biggest margin of victory but how we performed, that was the key. When we came out in the second half, we put the nail in the coffin."

### Paris Basketball head coach Will Weaver:

"I really respected and appreciated the way that Ty \[Wallace\] came out and orchestrated the game for us. He was getting into gaps. When they stayed home, he got in there and finished. And when they collapsed he found open shooters. He was the steady hand that helped steer the ship... We have to be focused on the rim and taking the catch-and-shoots that come out of that aggression.

"I am proud of the collective effort that our guys made despite many unavailable teammates to win a very hard-fought, physical basketball game. I am looking forward to seeing what we learn from this."

### Dolomiti Energia Trento head coach Emanuele Molin:

"To get a win here you cannot commit 14 turnovers, especially 5 in the first quarter and 4 in the third quarter. Both times Paris built a lead. My team kept working but we didn’t have a chance to get back and tie the game because our shooting percentage from the three-point line was too poor. We competed until the end and that is a good point looking forward.” 

### Paris Basketball center Ismael Kamagate:

"This time it was more physical \[than the first game against Trento\] and it was important for us to win it. I just try to make things easier for the team and play my role - grab rebounds and play defense. What happens otherwise is only beautiful. Unfortunately, we lost Begs \[Juhann Begarin\] with his ankle, but we won for him. But we are happy, we really needed this game."

Will Weaver, Paris: 'We have to be focused on the rim'

### Ronen Ginzburg, Prometey Slobozhanske head coach

"For us, it's an amazing win. To play here against a good team, a good coach, with these fans, it's an amazing win. In the end, character won the game. We have good character in the team, we believe all the time, we didn’t lose our belief and we won.

"I think it's a great for us in a hot atmosphere, a great atmosphere, against a good team with a good coach. We started the game not good, but we came back quickly into the game. We showed character. We had good moments, but sometimes we made mistakes like kids. In the end, when you win the game by 1-2 points, it's the little stuff that was on our side. I am happy for the win, I am happy to give some smiles to the people in Ukraine, in Dnipro. Every win for this club is important, because of the situation in Ukraine."

### Dusan Alimpijevic, Frutti Extra Bursaspor head coach

"We fought, we had a couple of players who were with some injuries and tried to play this game, but for sure they were not at their highest level. I want to thank them for trying to give something to this game, but obviously it wasn't enough. The players are not guilty for this loss. They fought how much they could. I had some decisions; I didn’t want to risk more injuries at the end of the game. And these are only my decisions. I want to thank our fans one more time, again and again and again. They are showing how great they are and how much they mean for us. We are fighting, and every game is precious for us."

### Ondrej Balvin, Prometey Slobozhanske center

"First, I've got to give a big shoutout to the Turkish fans; they created an unbelievable atmosphere. We hadn’t had anything like this all season, so a big shoutout to them. Second of all, I think what we are doing, we are putting respect on our name. It's a really tough team to beat, especially winning here, and last year they went all the way to the finals. It says a lot about us, that we don't just want to participate, we want to really fight. We just fight playing our basketball and in the end we were happy that we could win."

Arnoldas Kulboka shined again and Promitheas Patras got back to winning ways after hitting 11 three-pointers in dismissing the visiting Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 81-72 on Wednesday night. Both teams now hold 7-5 records in Group B, but Promitheas holds the tiebreak advantage because Buducnost won their first game in overtime. In this one, the hosts took the lead for good early in the second quarter and Kulboka was hot the entire game, finishing with 30 points on 5-for-8 three-point shooting.

Nemanja Dangubic added 15 points, and Dustin Hogue scored 13, while Anthony Cowan dished 10 assists in the victory. Erick Green paced Buducnost with 16 points, Cameron Reynolds and Petar Popovic scored 14 apiece, and Alpha Kaba had 10 points and 12 rebounds in a losing effort.

Both teams had early runs with Hogue and Simpson fueling an 11-2 spurt for Promitheas before the visitors answered with a 0-7 run capped by J.J. O'Brian's layup. The hosts held a 20-18 lead after the first 10 minutes and then back-to-back-to-back threes by Anthony Cowan, Arnoldas Kulboka and Nemanja Dangubic helped open a 31-22 advantage. Buducnost hit back led by Green, but the hosts led 41-33 at halftime.

Kulboka and Cowan opened the third quarter by hitting back-to-back triples to make it a 47-35 game. But the visitors answered by knocking down triples on three consecutive possessions to cut it to 49-44. However, Kulboka was hot, hitting two more triples and scoring 8 points in a 10-0 run that made it 63-48 in the final minute of the third quarter. Aleksandar Lazic nailed two triples in the fourth, but Kulboka was unstoppable with 7 more points, including one more three-pointer that made it 74-61 with 5 minutes to go. Simpson's three made it a 16-point margin and Promitheas was well on its way to victory.

Promitheas Patras v Buducnost VOLI Podgorica (2023-01-25T17:30:00.000Z)

### Promitheas Patras head coach Ioannis Christopoulos:

"The players deserve a lot of credit, they did a great job on defense. We had good offense from defense. I don't like to speak about personal records or statistics. I see it as a team win. We got many people contributing on both ends of the floor, for me that's the most important thing. I always say we count our coins at the end, for now, this is just a win, we move on... I definitely like to see inside-out basketball. Our decision-making was pretty good for the whole duration of the game. It is a good win for us and the coaching staff prepared the game pretty well."

### Buducnost VOLI Podgorica head coach Vlada Jovanovic:

"I think we played a soft game from the beginning, on both sides. We started with a soft defense, and mostly we were not on a good level of aggressiveness. On offense, we had a problem almost the whole game with hedge pick-and-roll defense, we did not find a solution to resolve it. For 40 minutes it wasn't our good game."

### Promitheas Patras forward Arnoldas Kulboka:

"It's a big win. We needed it. It is a team we are close to and I am super-happy about it. Can't wait to see what's ahead."

### 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys head coach Nenad Canak: 

"First of all, I am happy because we beat a great team. A win is a win. For sure, we must talk about the fourth quarter. They scored 41 points and I don't remember that my team received 41 points \[in one quarter\], maybe against Wolves in our domestic league. The most important is that we won. We played defense and shared the ball, and when we stopped playing offense and started doing things wrong, with wrong ideas, we had problems." 

### Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse head coach Frederic Fauthoux:

"Sometimes we cannot explain what happens on the court. Maybe we had the worst game of the season. This is basketball, of course, we had a reaction but it was not enough."

### 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys forward Gediminas Orelik:

"It is hard to explain. Some of the guys just believed that we had already won the game, and they are first in the group not just by accident. We were plus 27 but there were still 10 minutes left in the game. We hadn't finished anything. That was the biggest mistake we did, we just believed \[that we won\] early. I think it is easier for me \[to adjust\] because I was here last year with the same coaching staff, same everything, so for me, it is easier to adapt."

Prometey Slobozhanske secured its fifth win in a row on Wednesday evening after beating Frutti Extra Bursaspor 92-94 at Tofas Spor Salonu. By grabbing this victory, Prometey has moved to joint top of Group A with a record of 8-4, whereas Bursaspor has now lost two in a row and is 6-6 on the season.

Caleb Agada led the way in scoring for Prometey with 27 points, of which 24 came in the first half, while DJ Stephens scored all 18 of his points in the second half. Gian Clavell and Ondrej Balvin joined their teammates in double figures with 14 and 12 points, respectively. For Bursaspor, Derek Needham finished on 20 points after having just 4 at the halftime break. David Dudzinski had 17 points, Zach Auguste added 16, and Anthony Clemmons recorded 13 in the defeat.

Bursaspor came out of the blocks fast and opened an 8-0 lead, which caused Prometey head coach Ronen Ginzburg to call a timeout with 6:39 left on the clock in the first quarter. That pause gave the visitors a chance to regroup, and one player who was particularly inspired was Agada. By the time that 4:44 was remaining, the 28-year-old had 10 points and had helped give Prometey a narrow advantage, 11-13. As the first quarter drew to a close, Agada hit a three-pointer to move to 18 points and ensure his team led after the opening 10 minutes, 22-23.

 

Agada continued his scoring in the second period and soon found himself on 24 points at the halfway point of the quarter, 35-40. Bursaspor continued to fight Prometey, with Auguste coming to the fore as the hosts were able to cut the gap to 48-50 at halftime.

There was a clear switch from Bursaspor at the start of the second half, as it decided to defend Agada differently, clearly aware of the threat he was causing on offense. But, while it was finding a way to keep Agada quiet, Stephens began to show what he can do on the offensive end of the floor. Scoreless at the break, Stephens saw a three-pointer drop to keep Prometey in front early on, 50-53, before hitting another triple with 3:33 remaining to do the same, 63-65. Moments later, he followed that up with a high-flying dunk to complete an alley-oop pass from Agada, 63-67. Stephens nailed his third three-pointer of the quarter with 1:47 left to make it a five-point game, 67-72. Ahmet Duverioglu scored the final basket of the quarter, but the visitors had created a bit of daylight with a 69-75 lead.

Needham entered the fourth period on 10 points, but he soon began to take over. By the 6:33 mark in the final quarter, Needham had scored two triples and a two-pointer to bring Bursaspor level, 80-80. Auguste and Needham then scored on back-to-back plays to flip the script, 84-80, but Prometey remained calm. First, Clavell hit a pair of free throws, and then Stephens scored 5 straight points to swing the momentum again, 84-87. It soon became a back-and-forth affair, but Agada appeared with 35 seconds remaining to score his first points of the second half: a three-pointer to put Prometey 92-94 ahead. In the final seconds, Auguste had a chance to score under the basket, but James Dickey secured a game-sealing block on the Bursaspor big man, as Prometey walked away with its fifth win in succession and its third straight on the road.
