### Prometey Slobozhanske head coach Ronen Ginzburg:

"We played against a very good team, with a lot of experience and a good coach. We brought the effort to the game and I am happy that the players made that effort. We made mistakes, of course. We started the game not so good but managed to come back so I can be satisfied, for sure. We need to correct a lot of problems but a win is a win and against this kind of team, it is a good win. Sometimes we didn't use our big men a lot so we couldn't play our inside game. For sure, our strength is the up-tempo game but I think today we played a lot of isolates today, looking for the weakest spots in the other team. Their players with fouls, we tried to go on them and take them. So I think today, our offense was not just fastbreak game. It was a little bit more. I started to learn the team, everything is new and I think that \[Clavell\] played 18 minutes in the first half. I thought that if I keep him in for another 10 minutes in the third quarter, we would be losing today at the end of the game. It was good in the end because he came back and played good in the end." 

### Frutti Extra Bursaspor head coach Dusan Alimpijevic:

"Congratulations to Prometey and their coach on this win, really well-deserved. It was a great game from their side and it was a terrible game from our side, simple as that. We couldn't manage their energy and weren't actually on any decent level of energy. We let them \[get\] 18 offensive rebounds, we had 19 turnovers and that much of bad one-on-one defense, with them finishing on layups. one-on-zero, players from the top of the key... I mean, these things speak for themselves enough. To be honest, it was very obvious that we played a very long \[time\] with seven players in rotation. What we had in the past, this is normal, to be honest, because playing like we played so far with seven players, it is something really special. But when you have in these seven players you have foul problems with Derek Needham, Anthony Clemmons, and two intentional \[unsportsmanlike\] fouls on Duverioglu, who made our short rotation even shorter, than you have a problem to manage this game, to coach this game. It becomes more mathematical than anything else. So for sure, it was a big problem for us when a couple of our main players had these foul problems."

### Prometey Slobozhanske guard Gian Clavell:

"We needed this win. We lost by 30 against Brescia so we needed to be aggresive. I am glad that we got the win. It was important for us to get to a good start after the last game. We just wanted to play defense and rebound the ball, which I think we did. We could have done better, but I am glad with the win."

### Prometey Slobozhanske guard Issuf Sanon:

"It was a really tough game for us because we tried to bounce back after the last game. It wasn't good for us, because last game we didn't play as a team and lost. So I think today we showed how we really can play. We were aggressive and did everything coach asked us to do, and we played as a team. So I really appreciate this moment and for sure, we will keep working on our team chemistry and keep going up. Our team is becoming better and better in each game."

 

### Prometey Slobozhanske forward DJ Stephens:

"It was a tough game. We knew coming into the game that it was going to be a tough game for us. But after the game that we played last week, in which we played terrible in Italy, we wanted to come out and play tough on defense, which is our identity. We are a defensive-minded type of team, so we just wanted to come out tonight focused on that, get out in transition, get some easy ones... that is part of our game, too. And then just try to come away with a win. They fought until the end, they are a tough team but we were able to get the win in the end."

Prometey's Ginzburg: 'This is a character win'

Prometey Slobozhanske v Frutti Extra Bursaspor (2022-10-26T16:00:00.000Z)

Paris Basketball recorded its second win of the 7DAYS EuroCup season on Tuesday by defeating Dolomiti Energia Trento at BLM Group Arena, and it was a victory that had the fingerprints of Kyle Allman and Ismael Kamagate all over it.

Allman was a constant threat on the night for Paris, finishing with 23 points and dishing out 5 assists, 3 of which were Magic Moment plays for Kamagate. The 25-year-old American got to the free-throw line 14 times during the game, seeing 10 fall, as he caused headache after headache for Trento on the defensive end.

Kamagate, meanwhile, had 14 points on 7-of-9 two-pointers, which includes some highlight-play dunks off of passes from Allman. He also grabbed 10 rebounds, completing a double-double in the process, and blocked 3 shots. At just 21, the hype surrounding Kamagate is certainly justified based off his first few games in the EuroCup.

Perhaps one of the things that will make Paris head coach Will Weaver most happy is the way in which two of his stars, Allman and Kamagate, connect with one another on the court. They seem to be on the same wavelength at almost all times, with Allman's playmaking and speed often creating easy opportunities for Kamagate.

 

"To come in here against a really good team that I know was desperate to get a win tonight and compete the way we did makes me really proud," said Weaver, who acknowledged that Paris was without two regular starters in Tyrone Wallace and Aamir Simms against Trento.

Yet, in their absence, the duo of Allman and Kamagate came to the fore. Paris is in its first year in the EuroCup, but it already has two wins to its name and is no doubt already setting its sights on securing a playoff spot.

 

With Allman averaging 20.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists through the first three games, and Kamagate contributing averages of 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.3 blocks, this dynamic duo is ready to make even more noise in this year's EuroCup.

Hamburg coach Korner happy with team resilience, still looking for leadership

Veolia Hamburg Towers head coach Raoul Korner could not find the answers for a nightmare third quarter against Slask Wroclaw, but in the end he was pleased with the way in which his team showed the resilience to grab the victory.

A 31-14 second quarter and an 19-point halftime lead for Hamburg was followed by an 11-28 third quarter for Slask before Hamburg eventually prevailed 87-83.

Slask scored the first 17 points of the third quarter, with Korner attempting to stop the bleeding with two timeouts. Hamburg eventually turned the corner by making a couple of big plays, but the coach still has work to do as he tries to add more consistency to the team.

"That is the moment when you are looking for a little veteran leadership that you can call upon," Korner said. "\[Playing Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann\] was not possible because he was in foul trouble right away. But Seth \[Hinrichs\] was an important anchor for us."

Veolia Hamburg Towers wasted a big lead but managed to fend off Slask Wroclaw to collect its first home win of the season in the 2022-23 7DAYS EuroCup.

"We still have to find out which players in the team remain calm and make the right plays. You could see how important \[James\] Woodard is for us in those types of moments; he doesn’t get rushed. Does he make mistakes? Yes, but he gives us a certain calmness and easiness."

Korner said that 21-year-old guard Ziga Samar is a player who can grow into that leadership role, while Kendale McCullum should not be expected to carry the whole load himself.

All in all, Korner is happy with the level of resilience that Hamburg showed against Slask.

“We are not a team that just sticks our head in the sand. We were like that in the pre-season. When we gave up a run like that in pre-season, we basically went home emotionally," he commented. "That wasn’t the case this time. We knew that we were dissatisfied with how it happened, but we didn’t panic. We were helpless but not panic-stricken,” the coach said.

Umana Reyer Venice came into the 7DAYS EuroCup as one of the favorites to go far in the competition, but successive defeats to ratiopharm Ulm and Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse in the first two weeks of the season dampened those expectations. In Round 3, on the road at U-BT Cluj-Napoca and with a big crowd in attendance, Reyer came away with a much-needed win.

One of the players who played a decisive role down the stretch was guard Marco Spissu, who finished with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal for a PIR of 21. But, most importantly for Reyer, he showed an incredible coolness at the free-throw line in the closing stages, going 5-for-5 in the game's final 31 seconds to secure an 80-85 triumph for the Italians.

"It was a tough game, especially after Sunday's game \[in the Italian League\]. We really showed up in the game with our character and our aggressiveness. I'm really happy with our first win away. We need to continue like this," Spissu stated in his post-match interview.

The likes of Derek Willis, Michael Bramos and Mitchell Watt also played important roles in Reyer's victory, but without Spissu's ability to stay calm from the line, Cluj's impressive comeback attempt might have actually come off.

Only a few people would have predicted that the 7DAYS EuroCup game between Buducnost VOLI Podgorica and Promitheas Paras would go to overtime when the former led 67-47 late in the third period. The home team were comfortably in charge, running its offensive sets with ease and taking advantage of its opponent's turnovers to dominate the game.

But suddenly, Promitheas woke up early in the last period and displayed a remarkable performance to come back from behind. Led by Joe Young and Anthony Cowan, the visitors managed to reduce the margin to single digits with 4 minutes left to play. Nerves took over among the Buducnost crowd, as the visitors sparked another strong run, capped by triples by Nikolaos Gkikas and Cowan, to turn the tables and have a 79-81 edge with 37 seconds to play.

Alpha Kaba turned an offensive rebound into a bucket to tie it up, but Joe Young responded and scored a contested layup that seemed to confirm a victory for Promitheas with 7 seconds to go. There was still time left, though, with Phil Booth taking the ball and running the floor before scoring a miracle bucket that ended up sending the game to overtime.

Booth didn’t stop there, as he continued to punish Promitheas in overtime. Right after Kaba set an 82-81 lead from the line, Booth took over and dominated on offense to score 2 more baskets, which saw Buducnost take an 86-81 advantage. He showed up again, this time from the line, to extend it to 89-82 with 1:40 remaining, giving Buducnost the calm it needed to confirm the win.

Veolia Hamburg Towers gave up a big lead at home to Slask Wroclaw on Tuesday night, but it used its second-chance opportunities to eventually down the Polish team.

Hamburg wasted a 19-point advantage in the second quarter and had a nightmare third quarter before getting an 87-83 win. The German side actually lost the rebound battle 44-41, but grabbed 17 offensive rebounds – four more than Slask – and turned those into 24 points, compared to just 12 for Slask.

Hamburg also showcased its aggressive defense, forcing 21 Slask turnovers, 12 of which came off Hamburg steals.

It took until overtime for Buducnost VOLI Podgorica to eventually beat Promitheas Patras, but it was able to do so thanks to an impressive showing from Phil Booth. Buducnost had a sizeable lead during regulation but saw it slowly slip away, with Promitheas refusing to give up.

The Veolia Towers Hamburg fans inside edel-optics.de Arena were able to see their team record its first home win of the season on Tuesday night, as it staved off a comeback effort to beat Slask Wroclaw. Hamburg led by as many as 19 points at halftime, but Slask managed to flip the game on its head and take a lead by the end of the third quarter. That served as motivation for the Hamburg players to wake up, however, with Kendale McCullum stepping up in particular for the hosts.

On a night where teams almost gave up big leads, Paris Basketball almost did the same on the road at Dolomiti Energia Trento. Ahead by 15 points in the latter stages of the second quarter, Trento refused to give up and pulled the game to within one point, 86-87, with 15.6 seconds remaining, but new Paris signing Jeremy Evans stepped up with a two-pointer and a crucial rebound to seal the French team's second win of the season.

Game Center: Each game decided by six points at the most!

### Will Weaver, Paris Basketball head coach

"We've had a lot of road games early in the season. Obviously we're missing two of our starters \[Tyrone Wallace and Aamir Simms\], so to come in here against a really good team that I know was desperate to get a win tonight and compete the way we did makes me really proud."

### Axel Toupane, Paris Basketball forward

"That's a great win for us. We just won in the French League on Saturday, so that's two in a row for us. That's the first time that's happening since the beginning of the season, so that's great. We need to keep going, Ty Wallace is going to come back, and we want to keep getting victories."

### Emanuele Molin, Dolomiti Energia Trento head coach

"I think we missed too many open shots and, just in the last quarter, we had a good idea to attack them. That's it."

Weaver: 'The way Paris competed makes me really proud'

### Raoul Korner, Veolia Towers Hamburg head coach

"We played excellent in the second quarter. We moved the ball well. We managed to get them into half court, pressured them, forced them to make mistakes, moved the ball very well on offense. We just played very good basketball. \[In the\] third quarter… that’s what usually happens when teams are down and are desperate: they risk a little bit more. We had some good looks, we missed them and then lost our rhythm. We didn’t stop them defensively anymore, we made mistakes and got nervous. But at the end of the day, we showed our resilience once again in tough moments. At the end of the day, it’s a big win for us. It wasn’t pretty in the second half, but we’ll take it."

### Yoeli Childs, Veolia Towers Hamburg forward

"Credit to the other team. Being down 19 at halftime and coming out with the energy and intensity that they did, you have to give them a lot of credit for that. I’m also really proud of us for fighting back instead of just taking that punch and dying. We came out slow – we have to get better there. But we did a good job fighting back in the fourth quarter. We played for each other. What is super cool is that all the guys on the bench really support the guys out there on the court. Nobody cares about stats, nobody cares about individual accolades. We all just want to win basketball games and we have a coach who believes in us."

### Andrej Urlep, Slask Wroclaw head coach

"We completely fell apart in the second quarter. We played really bad, really selfish on offense and we were not able to get back. We showed a completely different face in the second half. Unfortunately for us, at the end of the game we made some bad decisions and that’s why Hamburg won."
