Besiktas GAIN Istanbul kept its momentum rolling in Germany by taking down previously unbeaten ratiopharm ulm 99-101 on the road. It was a statement win that moved the black-and-whites to 3-1 in the BKT EuroCup and underlined their growing momentum, sealed by Anthony Brown’s buzzer-beater.
Head coach Dusan Alimpijevic was pleased with his team’s resilience, even though he admitted there’s still room for improvement on the defensive end: ‘‘The main thing today was character. We believe in ourselves, they believe in themselves, they believe in their shots. Obviously, defensively we didn’t play our game, there is a big room for improvement in that direction, but you know this is a great win, amazing win and I don’t wanna go into any other details.’’
In a first quarter with no threes falling, both teams preferred to attack the rim. ratiopharm ulm took advantage of Besiktas’s defensive lapses and scored easily, while also applying heavy pressure that disrupted Besiktas’s offense.
In the second quarter, Besiktas’s attack started clicking. The first three-pointer came with 5 minutes left in the second quarter, courtesy of Jonah Matthews. Anthony Brown and Vitto Brown followed with more shots from deep, helping Besiktas get back into the game and take the halftime score to 54-54.
Besiktas got key contributions off the bench and from its deep rotation. Ismael Kamagate was effective on offense, bringing athleticism to the paint as he posted a PIR of 23 with 13 points and 8 rebounds. Another inside presence, Ante Zizic, added 11 points. While their defense had some lapses, Besiktas's bigs finished strong at the rim.
After trailing by as many as 14 points, the turning point for Besiktas came through Conor Morgan. Scoreless for most of the game, he took over in the final quarter, hitting 3 straight crucial threes and leaving his mark on the match. Morgan finished with 15 points on 4-of-5 shooting from deep.
The final moments of the game were full of action. With Besiktas leading 97-98, Christian Sengfelder missed 2 free throws with 18 seconds left. However, Tobias Jensen was there for Ulm, grabbing the rebound and scoring to take the lead. On the last possession, Anthony Brown came through in spectacular fashion, nailing a buzzer-beating three to snatch the win for the black-and-whites. The American forward finished the game with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Ulm stayed in the game and held momentum until the final quarter, with Chris Ledlum leading the way for his team. He tallied 25 points with 7 rebounds, while Tobias Jensen added 14 points and 9 rebounds. Christian Sengfelder also contributed 14 points.
“Congratulations to Istanbul on this hard-fought victory," Coach Ty Harrelson said after the game. "For neutral basketball fans, it was a great game today. For us, only the result counts in the end, and that's not what we wanted.
"Even though we couldn't keep our nerves in check at the end, I'm sure we'll win many more games with this style of basketball. Tobias Jensen defended the last shot very well. But sometimes good defense is beaten by even better offense.”
After the game, Dusan Alimpijevic highlighted Ulm's place in European basketball as an important stepping stone for young players and praised the club’s role in developing talent: "The work that Ulm has done here over the last few years is breathtaking. Last year, I was already amazed by the outstanding organization of this basketball club. Year after year, they bring talented players to the highest level in the top leagues.”
Besiktas will look to carry its winning streak and momentum into Round 5, when it faces Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse in a Group B matchup at home. Ulm will try to bounce back from its first loss when it visits fellow German side NINERS Chemnitz.
