Magic Moment: Williams with a magic pass!
Needham started the scoring with a three-pointer and Freeman’s layup made it 5-0. Felicio gave Ulm its first points before Blossomgame knotted the game 7-7. The visitors’ offense dried up and Needham and Freeman hit triples in a 12-2 surge to open a 17-9 lead. Fedor Zugic knocked down a three-pointer for the Ulm, but Bursaspor nevertheless led 19-12 after 10 minutes.
Blossomgame started the second quarter with a dunk and added a three-pointer for Ulm. Nicolas Bretzel’s throwdown had the visitors within 21-19. The hosts responded with a 10-0 run, which included 4 points from Freeman. Ayberk Olmaz followed with a three-pointer as Bursaspor’s cushion grew to 34-21. Ulm followed with a run of its own, keeping Bursaspor scoreless for the final 3:40 minutes and Thomas Klepeisz’s three-pointer finished a 0-9 surge to make it 36-32 at the break.
Ulm grabbed its first lead of the game with Felicio scoring the first 8 points of the second half - with a three-point play and a three-pointer - and Blossomgame added a triple to put Ulm up 36-43. Bursaspor finally got on the board in the second half after more than 4 minutes with Needham hitting a jumper as he and Freeman combined for 10 points in a 13-0 run to move ahead 49-43. David Dudzinski’s triple made it 54-47 before Ulm fought back to within 54-50 after 30 minutes.
Philipp Herkenhoff and Zugic knocked down three-pointers and Karim Jallow came up with a block and putback as Ulm evened the game again 58-58. Needham remained hot with a three-pointer that helped Bursaspor go up 63-58. Klepeisz nailed a long ball to snap a nearly 4-minute drought only to see Freeman’s next basket extend the gap to 67-61. Per Guenther punched back with a three-pointer for Ulm and Blossomgame’s dunk trimmed the deficit to 68-66 with 28 seconds to play. But Ulm could not get off a potential game-winner at the buzzer.
