Magic Moment: Bretzel denies Mokoka!
Bourg maintained a distance in the third
Risacher opened the third quarter with his third triple of the night to take his tally to 14 points. Ulm responded with an 8-0 run, as Dadiet and Klepeisz drilled one three-pointer each and Willams threw down a slam to bring the hosts within 41-56. Jallow and Nunez scored back-to-back buckets to cut the difference to single digits, 47-56, but Mike netted a corner triple and Kokila slammed home a dunk to end Ulm’s momentum, 47-61. Klepeisz nailed his fourth triple of the night, but Morgan responded from beyond the arc and Salash scored a put-back basket for a 53-68 Bourg cushion heading into the closing quarter.
Getting within reach… but coming up short
The hosts started strong with a 9-0 surge in the fourth quarter before Julien nailed one from downtown, 62-71. Dadiet took his fourth-quarter tally to 7 points and Dakota Mathias hit 2-of-2 from the line to bring Ulm within 69-73. Dadiet and Klepeisz went a combined 5-for-5 from the charity stripe to trim the deficit to 74-76 with 3:43 left on the clock. Morgan and Klepeisz exchanged triples, then Salash drilled one of his own to make it 77-82 with less than 2 minutes remaining. A Risacher triple was followed by a Nunez three-point play, 82-85, but Salash netted a floater to seal the guests’ first win against Ulm at the fifth time of asking.
