BAXI Manresa-Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana | Round 10 Highlights | 2025-26 BKT EuroCup

BAXI Manresa v Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana (2025-12-10T19:45:00.000Z)

BAXI Manresa played arguably its best game so far in this BKT EuroCup season, downing Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana 99-82 at Nou Congost to get its fifth win in 10 games. 

Manresa's next-man-up mentality pays off against Cedevita

[BAXI Manresa](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/baxi-manresa/man/) played arguably its best game so far in this BKT EuroCup season, downing [Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/cedevita-olimpija-ljubljana/lju/) 99-82 at Nou Congost to get its fifth win in 10 games. 

Cedevita arrived at Nou Congost on a four-game winning streak and Manresa still has to find a replacement for Alfonso Plummer, who parted ways with the team. Plummer had buried 20-of-39 three-pointers (51.3% 3FG) so far this season, with the rest of the team combining for 56 of 204 until now (27.5% 3FG), so it would have made sense for his absence to be felt.

It gets better. [Pierre Oriola](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/pierre-oriola/005917/) and [Hugo Benitez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/hugo-benitez/010449/) had combined for a PIR of 53 in [Round 9's home victory over Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/pierre-oriola-becomes-manresas-x-factor-in-round-9/). Both Oriola and Benitez picked up two quick fouls and were already on the bench in less than 6 minutes of action. Neither player regained their rhythm against Cedevita, combining for 7 points and a PIR of 8. Benitez was limited to just 11 minutes due to a hamstring injury, which gave 17-year-old prospect [Gerard Fernandez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/gerard-fernandez/013498/) the chance to make his EuroCup debut.

Good teams turn adversity into an opportunity, and this is exactly what Manresa did as several players stepped up to make Manresa keep a safe lead most of the way. 

[Gustav Knudsen](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/gustav-knudsen/009359/) surprised Cedevita with a great performance. Before this game, Knudsen averaged 1.0 points on 0-of-6 three-pointers in seven games, good for a PIR of 0. Knudsen came off the bench and soon knocked down a couple of bombs from downtown. He finished the game with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, 3 rebounds and a PIR of 12 in just 15 minutes. [Marcis Steinbergs](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/marcis-steinbergs/013848/) had a season-high 13 points on 3-of-5 three-pointers, 5 rebounds and a PIR of 17.

"We are very proud of our players. All of them are using the opportunity to improve and play very well, to play with character," Coach Ocampo said after the game. "I think we are improving every week. The thing is that we need players, because Hugo \[Benitez\] had a hamstring injury, we will see what happens, and in the end, you have less players and the risk is higher."

When Benitez got into foul trouble, [Retin Obasohan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/retin-obasohan/011938/) knew his number would be called and played one of the best games of the season. Obasohan needed just 20 points to get 16 points on 5-of-6 two-pointers (missing what would have been the biggest dunk of the season), 3 assists, 10 fouls drawn and a PIR of 17.

"I think that for us, it is important to play all 40 minutes. That's usually what we want to do, that's our philosophy, our mentality. We just want to make sure, especially as the season goes on, our capacity to play good basketball keeps increasing," Obasohan said after the game. 

"These wins helps us have more confidence. I think that we play, we compete and try to get better every single minutes, whether it is in practices or games, so to get a win while we are focused on improving, that definitely gives us a boost of confidence to believe in what we are doing."

Manresa led 46-38 at halftime and soon boosted its margin to 56-38 after the break, keeping a safe margin the rest of the way. It outrebounded Cedevita 25-14 in the second half, finishing the game with 16 offensive boards, 12 of them after the break. It also limited Cedevita to really low percentages (47.4% 2FG, 28.0% 3FG), dishing 21 assists against just 11 turnovers.

Despite its injury problems, Manresa is finding ways to be effective and win games at home. The next step is winning on the road, where Manresa only collected one victory against Aris Thessaloniki Betsson. It will get another chance to do so right away, as Manresa visits Slask Wroclaw in Round 11.

Umana Reyer Venice might actually be Bryce Jones’s favorite opponent. After introducing himself to Aris Thessaloniki Betsson fans with a dominant display away at the Italian side in the opening round of the 2025-26 BKT EuroCup season, the 31-year-old guard stood out again on Wednesday evening, leading his team to a 90-86 victory at Palais des Sports.

[Umana Reyer Venice](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/umana-reyer-venice/vnc/) might actually be [Bryce Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/bryce-jones/012621/)’s favorite opponent. After introducing himself to [Aris Thessaloniki Betsson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/aris-thessaloniki-betsson/ari/) fans with a dominant display away at the Italian side in the opening round of the 2025-26 BKT EuroCup season, the 31-year-old guard stood out again on Wednesday evening, leading his team to a 90-86 victory at Palais des Sports.

Jones kicked off the campaign with a complete outing that saw him record 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in [an 81-85 victory at Reyer](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/bryce-jones-bryn-forbes-showed-they-mean-business-for-aris/). Just over two months later, he registered a career-high 12 assists as Aris opened the second half of the season by sweeping the Italian team.

Reyer hit the ground running and took an early 13-17 lead courtesy of 11 quick points from [Ky Bowman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/ky-bowman/013928/), who went 3 for 3 from beyond the arc.

But Aris fired on all cylinders from deep to respond with a 20-2 run that allowed the hosts to grab a 33-22 lead heading into the second quarter.

After managing its best first-quarter scoring output in EuroCup history, the Greek side went on to break a club record for the most points netted at halftime by getting 56 before the break, with Jones thriving on the floor. The Aris guard had already set a new personal record in assists by bagging 9 to go with his 10 first-half points.

Reyer did bounce back and tightened up its defense, holding Aris to just 14 points in the third quarter. A bucket from [RJ Cole](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/rj-cole/013929/) cut the difference to 82-81 with less than 3 minutes to go, but Jones stepped up on the offensive end with a mid-range jumper and an assist for [Amine Noua](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/amine-noua/006068/), who made it 86-81 from the line.

Having absorbed Reyer’s last comeback push, the hosts maintained their lead to secure a huge victory in their hunt for a playoff spot.

As for Jones, he didn't hesitate to hail his coach, Igor Milicic, for putting him to the test ahead of Wednesday’s clash.

“Shoutout to Coach for challenging me this week,” Jones said after the game. “He said some things that got me going, that got me fired up. I am a player who is always going to do my best to respond.”

By halftime Aris had already recorded 15 assists, better its season average across 40 minutes (14.2 apg.). With 1:26 to go in the third quarter, it had grabbed 34 rebounds – just over their season average of 33.8 boards.

Despite coming into the game against Reyer averaging a league-low 9.0 offensive rebounds, Aris ended the game with as many as 15 – its joint-highest mark this season.

Meanwhile, the Greek side had a season-high 44 rebounds and registered a club-record 24 assists, half of which were produced by an outstanding Jones.

The hosts also protected the ball well on the offensive end, as they had 10 turnovers – more than 6 less than their season average.

And as Jones stressed after the game, practicing well ahead of a game leads to delivering on the court.

“Coming from a tough loss \[at home to U-BT Cluj-Napoca\], you just want to always bounce back, have the right mentality, just being positive moving forward,” he added. “I just want to shout out my teammates for just having a great week of practice. And you know, when you practice good, you play good and we came out with the win.”

Having secured the head-to-head advantage over Reyer, Aris will look to climb up the standings in the remainder of the season. And with Jones balling as he did on Wednesday night, clinching a playoff spot should be considered a highly realistic target.

The Aris guard ended the game with 20 points and a career-high 12 assists

Turk Telekom Ankara finished a tough spell in the schedule by sweeping two road games in Germany thanks to some strong focus, which has seen it remain one of the hottest teams in the competition. 

Focused Turk Telekom get German road sweep, keep rolling

[Turk Telekom Ankara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/turk-telekom-ankara/ttk/) finished a tough spell in the schedule by sweeping two road games in Germany thanks to some strong focus, which has seen it remain one of the hottest teams in the competition. 

Turk Telekom held [ratiopharm ulm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/ratiopharm-ulm/ulm/) down defensively in rolling to a 53-87 victory after having [beaten NINERS Chemnitz 87-63 on the road](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/strong-defense-carries-turk-telekom-to-victory-in-chemnitz/) in Round 9 last Thursday for a 7-3 record, including seven wins in the last eight games. 

“We are starting to understand everybody’s role in the team. We are starting to share the ball in the right way. And everybody is happy with each other’s success. And that is the great chemistry. I always say: As long as you have good chemistry, you have the potential to do good things,” said Turk Telekom head coach Erdem Can.

The Turkish side came into the game knowing it not only lost to Ulm in the first game of the season but also that it could not slow down the German side, losing 93-96 at home. And that contest was definitely on the team’s collective minds.

“We knew that the Ulm team has great potential and we saw that in the first game by receiving 96 points,” Coach Can said. “We were focused really defensively and I think in the first quarter we opened the game very strong defensive-wise. But in the first quarter, we played with Ulm’s rhythm offensively. That is why we had the turnovers. After that we picked up our pace, also offensively, played smart, also shared the ball in the right way. We knew we’re going to play against a tough, talented team. But we managed to finish the game strong.”

The first quarter was something for the record books. First off, Ulm missed its first 12 shots and committed 5 turnovers in failing to score in the first 8:17 minutes of the game. But Turk Telekom could not really do much at its end either, and the first quarter ended 4-10.

The 14 points in the first quarter tied the EuroCup record for the fewest combined points in a quarter – evening the mark from the third quarter between ALBA Berlin and BCM Gravelines Dunkerque (8-6) from November 5, 2013.

Turk Telekom got its offense going and pushed the lead to 13 points in the second quarter, with the cushion growing to 21 points after three quarters. The guests just pouring it on in the final 10 minutes. 

“We just came together as a team and we rallied. We just played good this week,” said [Kris Bankston](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kris-bankston/012760/), who paced five Turk Telekom players in double figures with 15 points and 13 rebounds – tying his personal best in scoring and setting a new mark for rebounds. “We just stuck to the principles and played better defense in the second half.”

[Berkan Durmaz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/berkan-durmaz/007917/) added 12 points and [Jordan Usher](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/jordan-usher/013265/) chipped in 11 points in the win. All 10 players who played scored, and Coach Can really used his depth to help his team overcome the mental burden of three road games in the span of six days – at Chemnitz last Thursday, at Erokspor in the Turkish League last Sunday, and at Ulm on Wednesday evening. And the coach praised his guys’ mental toughness.

“It was very important for us to keep the energy. That is the mental part. Of course fatigue is one point, but our guys handled that by staying focused. And we tried to share the minutes,” he said. 

At the other end, Ulm continues to struggle, having lost four straight and six of the last seven EuroCup games for a 4-6 record. In all competitions, Ulm has lost 11 of its last 13 games. 

“Disappointed with the final score. Getting blown out like that is not what we want. But we saw them do it to Chemnitz last week. Turk Telekom is on a roll right now. A really strong team,” Ulm play-caller Ty Harrelson said. “When you play against a team like Turk Telekom, which is among the top in the EuroCup, and you get down by eight or 10, you have to have some poise and we are missing that a little bit right now.”

Ulm is still without [Chris Ledlum](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/christopher-ledlum/013968/) as well as veteran point guard [Tommy Klepeisz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/thomas-klepeisz/010582/). [Mark Smith](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/mark-smith/013969/) did score 17 points and [Tobias Jensen](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tobias-jensen/010726/) picked up 10 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, but the team shot 44.4% on two-pointers and 19.2% from long range while committing 18 turnovers. 

“We have to get better,” Harrelson concluded. 

The Turkish side won games at Chemnitz and Ulm in the last two rounds

A breakout third quarter was the key to victory for Buducnost VOLI Podgorica on Wednesday night at the MTEL Moraca Sports Hall, as the Montenegrin side overwhelmed the London Lions and took control of the game. Buducnost went on to secure a 94-63 victory.

Impressive second half from Buducnost proves far too much for Lions

A breakout third quarter was the key to victory for [Buducnost VOLI Podgorica](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/buducnost-voli-podgorica/bud/) on Wednesday night at the MTEL Moraca Sports Hall, as the Montenegrin side overwhelmed the [London Lions](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/london-lions/lli/) and took control of the game. Buducnost went on to secure a 94-63 victory.

The hosts took the lead after just two minutes and managed to hold it until the final seconds of the opening quarter, when a [Tarik Phillip](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tarik-phillip/009649/) buzzer-beating triple put the Lions ahead. Buducnost responded in the second quarter, attacking the hole consistently to regain a slim advantage. However, the true difference was made in the third period, when Andrej Zakelj’s team ramped up their defensive effort, severely limiting London’s scoring opportunities and capitalizing on the other end, widening the ultimately insurmountable margin.

“We started the third quarter much better on defense, much more aggressive,” said Zakelj. “With [\[Oleksandr\] Kovliar](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/oleksandr-kovliar/013247/) at point guard, we put much more pressure on and everybody else became more aggressive. That gave us a good result in the third quarter, and then offense is much easier to play when you are good on defense.”

His counterpart, Lions coach Tautvydas Sabonis, expected a third-quarter shut-down but was disappointed with his team’s reaction to it.

“The physicality in the second half was expected and we didn’t answer,” Sabonis bemoaned. “They played a very good second half and we didn’t show up.”

Before the game, the Lithuanian coach pinpointed Buducnost forward [Rasheed Sulaimon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/rasheed-sulaimon/011150/) as a major threat. “They've got Sulaimon, who is a veteran in this league, certified bucket getter.” Well, he was right. The 31-year-old enjoyed a well-rounded display, adding 6 assists to his 16-point scoring display, while shooting 3 for 3 from downtown and not committing a turnover throughout the contest.

“I am satisfied with our team’s performance,” said Sulaimon. “I’m just going out there to play as hard as I can. Today, I got into a rhythm and my teammates found me. I think, overall, the energy and defense was great. I’m just happy for this win.”

Last week’s loss to JL Bourg-en-Bresse snapped a five-game winning streak for Buducnost. Sulaimon stressed the importance of the win as his side hopes to build added momentum.

“It was a very important win, especially coming off a loss against Bourg. We have to get into a good rhythm now, we’re in a good position but we’re still hungry and want more.”

Of course, he was helped by his teammates. [Nikola Tanaskovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/nikola-tanaskovic/005637/) led Buducnost in scoring, doing all of his damage in the paint. [Axel Bouteille](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/axel-bouteille/003840/) and [Juwan Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/juwan-morgan/013256/) also boosted their team with double-digit scoring. For the Lions, Phillip recorded 16 rebounds, 4 boards and 5 dishes in defeat.

The result moves Buducnost to 7-3 for the season, putting it level with Turk Telekom Ankara in the standings. It will face Dolomiti Energia Trento next Tuesday. London slides to an even 5-5 for its EuroCup campaign and hopes to pull off an upset versus table-topping Besiktas GAIN Istanbul in a week’s time.

After seeing its five-game winning run come to an end last week, Buducnost got back on track in Round 10

Buducnost VOLI Podgorica v London Lions (2025-12-10T18:00:00.000Z)

Neptunas Klaipeda delivered a dramatic comeback performance on Wednesday night, overturning a dreadful start to defeat Slask Wroclaw in overtime. The Lithuanian side outscored the visitors 20–4 in the extra five minutes, delighting their fans in Klaipeda after what had seemed like a doomed opening quarter.

Neptunas takes its game to another level to down Slask in OT

[Neptunas Klaipeda](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/neptunas-klaipeda/kla/) delivered a dramatic comeback performance on Wednesday night, overturning a dreadful start to defeat [Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/slask-wroclaw/wro/) in overtime. The Lithuanian side outscored the visitors 20–4 in the extra five minutes, delighting their fans in Klaipeda after what had seemed like a doomed opening quarter.

Coming off an impressive road win over Bahcesehir College Istanbul in Round 8 — fueled by a remarkable 18-of-36 shooting from three-point range — Neptunas's supporters could hardly believe their eyes early in this one. Winless away from home all season, Slask came out firing, storming to an 11–28 lead with just two minutes left in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Neptunas went ice-cold from deep, connecting on just 2-of-12 attempts after 10 minutes.

“We started the game very slow, very slow,” admitted Neptunas forward [Aurimas Majauskas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/aurimas-majauskas/003215/). “They outrebounded us, outmatched us with \[their\] energy, so Coach told us we needed to bring that energy. That’s what we did — we crashed the boards, moved the ball, and found the open man to make the shot.”

Neptunas steadily chipped away at the deficit, trimming it to six (40–46) by halftime and finally grabbing its first lead midway through the third quarter, 49–48. From there, the game turned into a back-and-forth battle, with several ties and lead changes that kept the crowd on edge.

Despite its control on the boards — 21 rebounds over the first 35 minutes — Neptunas struggled to seize full command due to uncharacteristically poor three-point shooting. For a team averaging 38% from beyond the arc this season, its 7-of-32 (21.8%) performance was unusually low. When [Arnas Berucka](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/arnas-berucka/006154/) missed a potential game-winner following [Kadre Gray](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kadre-gray/013921/)’s tying basket at 83–83, the duel went to overtime.

That extra period, however, belonged entirely to Neptunas. “Yeah, \[we played\] much, much better,” smiled head coach Gediminas Petrauskas afterward. “We need to understand why we started so slowly, but the most important thing is that the support from our fans gave us that extra push in the second half. The overtime, overall, was spectacular.”

Berucka made amends immediately by knocking down the three-pointer he had missed in regulation. [Vitalijus Kozys](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/vitalijus-kozys/006907/) followed with another long-range bomb, and [Arnas Velicka](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/arnas-velicka/006326/) added his third triple of the night to push Neptunas ahead 92–85 less than 90 seconds into the extra frame. Stunned by the sudden avalanche, Slask collapsed, missing six consecutive free throws as its rhythm vanished completely.

Neptunas hit two more from deep to cap a 20–4 overtime run, playing its best basketball of the night when it mattered most. There was a calm confidence about its approach, one rooted in experience.

“We played another overtime on Sunday, so you know, it's a similar situation”, Majauskas reflected. “Today, we were calm. We were ready. We already did this, so we knew what we had to do.”

For Coach Petrauskas, that late resilience carried an extra meaning. “The most important thing is the team victory,” he said. “And especially because we won by more points than we lost in Poland. So, it seems like our last missed shot in the fourth quarter kind of came \[being\] into a positive thing.”

From a dreadful start to an emphatic overtime show, Neptunas turned a potential nightmare into one of its most satisfying wins of the season.

The hosts erased a 17-point first-quarter deficit and dominated the extra period 20–4 to claim a thrilling home victory

Bahcesehir College Istanbul needed a night to find its rhythm again, and a strong 84-72 win over U-BT Cluj Napoca delivered exactly that, moving the home side to 7-3 in Group A.

Bahcesehir bounces back with fourth-quarter surge over Cluj

[Bahcesehir College Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/bahcesehir-college-istanbul/bah/) needed a night to find its rhythm again, and a strong 84-72 win over [U-BT Cluj Napoca](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/u-bt-cluj-napoca/clu/) delivered exactly that, moving the home side to 7-3 in Group A.

Bahcesehir entered the night searching for a reset after two straight losses. As the game unfolded, the home team seized control, using a fourth-quarter push to secure an important victory.

‘‘This is a hell of a way to bounce back. We just wanna keep building on this,’’ said [Trevion Williams](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/trevion-williams/012604/) after a solid double-double performance.

All night long, Williams anchored Bahcesehir inside, powering the offense and controlling the boards. His impact was steady, hitting a double-double early in the third quarter. He closed the night with 22 points and 15 rebounds.

After three balanced quarters, the turning point of the game came in the fourth, where Bahcesehir’s defense fully took over. The home side opened the final frame with a 17-0 run and held Cluj to just 10 points in the period. Most importantly, the Istanbul side kept the league’s highest-scoring team, averaging 96.9 points, to just 72 on the night.

‘‘We needed this one bad,’’ Bahcesehir coach Marko Barac stated afterward. ‘‘This is why probably in some parts of the game we were too nervous offensively. But in the fourth quarter we managed to find our advantages and to stay confident in the clutch moments to make two open shots for a very important win.’’

[Malachi Flynn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/malachi-flynn/013908/) kept Bahcesehir in the game early with two key threes and 9 points in the first quarter. He made his impact felt again in the fourth, helping extend the lead and finishing with 18 points. [Tyler Cavanaugh](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/tyler-cavanaugh/009601/) also made an impact in the final frame, contributing 13 points to seal the win.

His second-quarter buckets gave the offense a spark, and he finished with 12 points. [Nighael Ceaser](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/nighael-ceaser/014185/) and [Saulius Kulvietis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/saulius-kulvietis/001694/) added 11 each, while [Dusan Miletic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/dusan-miletic/009896/) chipped in 9 points.

Cluj coach Mihai Silvasan said: ‘‘I think it was an interesting game and close fight until the fourth quarter, when we just didn’t find the right shots, we turned the ball over. We didn’t manage to handle well their aggressive defense, and the result was 28-10 in the fourth quarter… That’s basketball, you know; you need to play consistent and good until the end.’’

Beyond the arc, neither team found much rhythm, with Bahcesehir hitting 7 of 27 and Cluj 6 of 18 from deep.

In Round 11, Bahcesehir will try to carry its momentum on the road to face Umana Reyer Venice, while Cluj will host Neptunas Klaipeda at home.
