ASVEL stuns Real in breathtaking rollercoaster, 80-78

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne sent shockwaves through the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with an 80-78 home win over Real Madrid after Paris Lee netted a game-winning baseline floater to settle a fascinating Round 13 rollercoaster. The home team’s forward Andre Roberson also played a vital role in the frantic finale as he blocked Facundo Campazzo’s layup before dishing the assist to Lee from a side out with 1.8 seconds left on the clock. Lee almost defied the laws of physics to net the winner and send the home crowd into raptures.

Theo Maledon paced ASVEL with 23 points, Lee finished with 13 points and Mbaye Ndiaye chipped in with 12 for the home team, which led by 10 points and then trailed by as many in a see-saw battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish. At the other end, Mario Hezonja netted a team-high 19 points for Real but shot 2 of 10 from downtown, Gabriel Deck scored 17 and Walter Tavares racked up 10 points and 8 boards.

It was a high-scoring affair in the first quarter as both sides fired on all cylinders offensively, with the home team sharing the workload superbly while Eli Ndiaye nailed 3 triples from as many attempts at the other end to keep Real afloat. ASVEL was 9 of 11 from inside in the opening 10 minutes and the hosts carried that momentum into the second quarter, with Ndiaye giving the French team a 42-34 lead on the back of a four-point play.

The home team was up 53-43 ahead early in the third before Real beefed up its defense and turned the contest on its head with a 4-23 run. The hosts looked lost at sea as Campazzo peppered assists at the other end, while Hezonja found his range from inside to give Real a 59-69 lead early in the fourth.

Driven by Maledon, who sank 8 successive points, ASVEL engineered a 10-0 run to tie the score but Real looked the more likely winner when Hezonja nailed a deep three to fire the visitors 69-74 ahead. The Spanish side appeared to be home and dry after a three-point play from Tavares gave it a 73-78 advantage in the home straight, but the hosts forced a final twist and had the last laugh.

The brilliant Maledon sank a triple and then drove in a delightful reverse layup through traffic to tie the score, setting the stage for a heart-stopping climax. Campazzo thought he had won the game for Real but an official review overturned the initial call of Roberson’s goaltending. In an incredible twist of fortune. Roberson then teed up Lee to hit the game-winning floater from a nearly impossible angle at the death, giving ASVEL a memorable win while forcing Real into submission.

Dreamland Gran Canaria has improved to an 8-2 record in Group A after defeating Dolomiti Energia Trento 70-81 on the road in Round 10, with the hosts dropping to a 3-7 mark. Jaka Lakovic’s men led for the final 25:30 minutes of the contest to come out on top, having also beaten Paolo Galbiati’s squad 84-81 back in Round 1.

Caleb Homesley was Gran Canaria’s leading scorer on the night, finishing with 15 points, and he was joined in double figures by Mike Tobey on 11 and Nico Brussino on 10. Trento’s Jordan Ford ended up scoring a game-high 17 points, with Anthony Lamb netting 16, and Myles Cale had 12.

Tobey scored Gran Canaria’s first 4 points of the game, but Cale soon stepped up for the hosts by netting 7 points to make it 10-10. Lamb and Ford helped put Trento five points ahead, 15-10, but Homesley, Brussino and George Conditt helped tie things up at 17-17. However, Trento held a 22-19 lead at the end of the first quarter after a three by Toto Forray and a couple of free throws by Ford and Jordan Bayehe.

When Lamb went a perfect 3 for 3 from the line to start the second period, Trento led 25-19. Yet, 5 straight points by Tobey and a tip-in by John Shurna quickly saw Gran Canaria go 25-26 ahead. Quinn Ellis hit back to give the hosts a 27-26 edge, and Lamb’s three made it 30-29, but that would prove to be Trento’s last lead on the night. A 10-0 Gran Canaria run put the visitors in charge at 30-39, and they did enough to go into the halftime break with a 40-45 advantage.

Gran Canaria swelled the lead with an 11-0 run to start the third quarter, which made it a 40-56 ballgame and completely took the air out of the arena. There was a fightback by Trento after a timeout, with the hosts reducing the gap to eight points, 48-56, but Homesley stepped up to ensure it was 56-66 after 30 minutes.

Carlos Alocen netted the first six points of the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 16 points once more, 56-72, and Gran Canaria was rarely threatened from there on out. There was a three-pointer by Lamb followed by 4 points by Ford, which cut the gap to eight points, 70-78, but there were only 30 seconds left at that point. Joe Thomasson sealed the win in style for Gran Canaria by stealing the ball and racing away for a dunk to set the final 70-81 scoreline.

Paris blasts Maccabi, 81-93, for ninth straight win

Paris Basketball remained atop the standings in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague after tossing aside Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 81-93 at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Belgrade on Tuesday night. Paris never trailed after the third minute and led by as many as 21 in the third quarter as it improved to 10-3 on the season. Maccabi lost for the fifth time in six games to fall to 4-9.

Freshly-crowned MVP of November TJ Shorts remained strong with 22 points and 8 assists to lead the winners. Maodo Lo contributed 19 points on 4-of-7 three-point shooting, Nadir Hifi netted 15 points and Tyson Ward 14. For Maccabi, Levi Randolph led the way with 14 points, Jaylen Hoard, Rokas Jokubaitis and Marial Shayok each scored 12 and Jasiel Rivero 10.

In his first game since earning the MVP of the month honor, Shorts rattled in a triple for the game’s first points. Randolph raced down the floor to get Maccabi on the scoreboard. Ward heated up with a post-up and a triple as Paris jumped in front 4-8. Lo came off the bench for a pair of threes and Hifi made two more that put the visitors up 10-22. Maccabi's reserves gave the team a push with Rivero scoring twice in an 8-0 run to get within 18-22 after 10 minutes.   

Shorts, with 3 points and a dish to set up a Kevarrius Hayes dunk, continued to lead the Paris attack, while Rivero remained a force for Maccabi. After Rivero and Wenyen Gabriel both missed free throws, a three-pointer by Collin Malcolm gave Paris its first double-digit lead, 20-30. Lo's third three of the night made it 24-37. Bandja Sy continued the Paris three-point party and a layup by Hifi prompted a Maccabi timeout at 26-42. A jumper by Jokubaitis changed little as Hifi scored 5 quick points to further extend the lead. Maccabi captain John DiBartolomeo sank a put-back and a three-pointer and Randolph ended the half with a triple that made it 36-50.

Randolph made 3 free throws on the opening possession of the second half only to see Shorts fuel a 0-10 run, which Ward capped with a fastbreak alley-oop slam to push Paris’s lead above the 20-point mark. Shayok ended the Maccabi drought with the team’s first basket in 4 and a half minutes. Shayok soon drilled a three to make it 49-62. Jumpers by Randolph and Jokubaitis drew Maccabi within 10. After a leaner by Shorts, Jokubaitis scored to end the third quarter at 58-68.

Shayok got Maccabi within 8 with the first basket of the fourth quarter. Shorts restored the double-digit Paris advantage, though Roman Sorkin kept Maccabi afloat with a jumper and a put-back. Lo made a three on a three-chance possession and Shorts added a layup for a 69-82 cushion. Hoard scored 5 points to rally Maccabi again. It was 78-86 after Rivero's free throws with 3 minutes remaining. A Shorts-to-Ward alley-oop slam put Paris up 12 and all but sealed the outcome.  

Paris collected 19 offensive rebounds and scored 20 points off turnovers in the win

ratiopharm Ulm has now won back-to-back games in the EuroCup after beating Trefl Sopot 83-69 in Round 10.

Ulm muscles its way to victory over Trefl Sopot, 83-69

ratiopharm Ulm used a strong second half to register an 83-69 win over the winless Trefl Sopot on Tuesday night. This win improved Ulm to a 6-4 record in Group A, while Sopot is still bottom with 10 losses in as many games. 

Karim Jallow led Ulm with 16 points, and Ben Saraf scored all 15 of his points in the second half. Noa Essengue had 14 points and 7 rebounds before exiting with an injury in the third quarter, and Nelson Weidemann added 13 in a victory. Marcus Weathers had 16 for Sopot, Jakub Schenk netted 14, while Geofrey Groselle scored 11 and Aaron Best finished with 10.

Weidemann hit a pair of long-distance shots for Ulm to open the game, as the hosts kept in front despite Groselle scoring 8 points, all from close range, for Sopot. A layup from Jallow and a dunk from Essengue extended the margin to 15-8, but Nick Johnson nailed a long two and Andy Van Vliet a triple, before Schenk's 4 points tied it at 19-19 at the end of the first 10 minutes.

Weathers scored a pair of baskets at the start of the second to put Sopot ahead. Tobias Jensen had 5 points for the hosts, but Sopot found a way to get to the foul line often, and shot 6 of 6 to open a 25-31 margin. A triple from Justinian Jessup got Ulm's offense going, sparking an 8-2 run to tie the game. But Van Vliet nailed another three-pointer and Weathers a tough jumper, as the visitors took 38-40 into halftime.

The scoring slowed down in the third quarter as Ulm stepped up defensively. A three-point and triple by Jallow restored Ulm's lead, as the hosts went on a 12-2 run. Saraf opened his account with 3:32 left in the third, and after Van Vliet nailed another triple, Isaiah Roby and Saraf made sure the hosts held a 58-50 lead after 30 minutes.

Ulm continued with defensive intensity in the fourth and despite Schenk's crazy banker, Saraf hit a pair of jumpers that helped extend it to 67-57. Johnson had a three-pointer for the visitors and Weathers muscled his way inside, but Philipp Herkenhoff nailed a triple in between Saraf's jumpers to extend it to 76-64. Schenk kept Sopot's hope alive, but only briefly because Weidemann's three-pointer made it a 15-point affair, sealing the deal.

The German team has now chained two wins together in the EuroCup
