Despite its 1-3 record, Hamburg Towers ranks sixth in scoring in the 2021-22 7DAYS EuroCup (86.0 ppg.).
Keys to victory: Hamburg vs. Metropolitans



It leads the competition in three-point attempts (30.3 per game) but ranks 18th in offensive rebounds (8.8 orpg.), so it needs to be more aggressive to get more second-chance opportunities. Hamburg is also allowing a league-worst 93.0 points per night, and opponents are hitting 65.3% of their two-point shots. To put it in perspective, Dynamo Moscow holds the record for the highest two-point percentage in a EuroCup season at 61.8%. Hamburg needs to protect its paint better in order to be more competitive going forward.

Boulogne Metropolitans 92 also needs to improve its defense inside and outside the arc, as opponents have made 57.1% of their two-point shots and 39.2% from downtown. Metropolitans average 10.8 offensive rebounds, which is a good sign. As always, running its offense through Will Cummings should be one of the keys to the game, as he is more experienced than any of his potential opponents. Hamburg takes a lot of risks on defense and plays at a high rhythm, so controlling the game tempo and being patient on offense should be important for the French powerhouse.
