Veolia Towers Hamburg romped to a 100-64 road victory over Slask Wroclaw to keep alive its hopes of reaching the playoffs in Group B after the team’s best EuroCup performance produced its biggest win of the season. Anthony Polite paced the visitors with a game-high 19 points, Ziga Samar chipped in with 17, Set Hinrichs added 15 and Kendale McCullum netted 14 for a well-balanced Hamburg, with center Yoeli Childs posting a double-double of 10 points and as many rebounds.
Dominant Hamburg blows away Slask 100-64
Game Report
3 Mins read
Jeremiah Martin led Wroclaw with 17 points, Lukasz Kolenda scored 15 and Conor Morgan added 13, but the supporting cast contributed with preciously little for a disjointed home side. Hamburg improved to a 4-8 record and stayed eighth in Group B, while Wroclaw remained rooted to the bottom of the 10-team group at 1-11.
Having scraped an 87-83 home win in the reverse fixture, Hamburg was expected to be given a run for its money in Poland, especially in view of the fact that it had lost seven of its subsequent eight games.
It looked like Slask would make Hamburg work hard for a sweep as the hosts only trailed 20-21 at the end of the first quarter, but it got brushed aside by the German outfit, which dominated the game in every department.
After keeping the deficit down to 25-32 early in the second, Slask got steamrolled as Hamburg moved up two gears and extended its lead to 50-34 at halftime. Hinrichs had scored all his 15 points in the first half thanks to some cool three-point shooting, Polite had 6 points while Samar and Yoeli Childs had amassed 6 each. But more importantly, Hamburg dominated the boards 22-9 in the opening two quarters, having grabbed 7 offensive rebounds while Wroclaw had none.

Veolia Towers Hamburg-Umana Reyer Venice | Round 18 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
The third quarter produced more one-way traffic as Hamburg raced to a 79-43 lead with the home side looking completely devoid of ideas and energy, having still collected a grand total of 0 offensive rebounds by the end of the third quarter.
Wroclaw trimmed the deficit to under 30 points on several occasions in the fourth quarter, but Hamburg was in no mood to take its foot off the pedal and a strong finish saw the visitors win by their joint-biggest lead of the night.
