Slask Wroclaw led for the majority of its 7DAYS EuroCup Round 5 meeting with Promitheas Patras at Hala Orbita on Wednesday night, but a game-winning shot by Anthony Cowan means that Promitheas now has the joint-best record in Group B with 4-1, while Slask drops to 0-5.
Promitheas steals win at Slask, 76-78

Joe Young was Promitheas's leading scorer on the night with 20 points, but a 19-point, 12-rebound double-double by Arnoldas Kulboka was key in the Greeks staying in the game right until the end. Cowan, who scored a three-pointer to give Promitheas the win, ended with 9 points. Nikolaos Gkikas also chipped in with 10 points. In a losing effort, Slask's Jeremiah Martin had 17 points, Aleksander Dziewa posted a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double, and Conor Morgan finished with 13 points.

Slask came into this game with a 0-4 record, but it got off to a good start after Martin came out the blocks with 9 of the team's 18 first-quarter points. Promitheas finished with 14 points after the first 10 minutes, but perhaps most importantly for Slask, it kept Promitheas scorer Young scoreless. Slask managed to open up a 10-point lead over Promitheas in the opening stages of the second quarter, 24-14, but then Young began to put his fingerprints on proceedings with 9 points in four and a half minutes, which made it 30-31 with 3:33 remaining. Cowan briefly extended that advantage to 30-33, but then a 12-0 run by the hosts ensured that Slask went into the break ahead, 42-33. That lead extended out to 11 points in the third quarter, but Promitheas continued to plug away, refusing to let Slask run away with the win. Nevertheless, the third quarter ended with Slask 12 points ahead, 62-50. The hosts were able to win all three of the first quarters – 18-14, 24-19 and 20-17 – but it began to come unstuck in the final period. Promitheas continued to put points on the board, and then a Nemanja Dangubic dunk off an alley-oop from Young appeared to give the Greeks the momentum, as it was just one point behind, 66-65, with 5:25 left. It suddenly became a back-and-forth game, without Promitheas ever going ahead. That is until Cowan stepped up to the plate by making an incredibly tough three-pointer with a hand in his face to all but win the game for Promitheas. There were 1.2 seconds remaining for Slask to have an attempt at rescuing the win, but Morgan missed his shot, so Slask remains winless and Promitheas now has the joint-best record in Group B.
