Offensive boards lifted Buducnost to victory over London
Buducnost sailed into the EuroCup Playoffs with five games to spare after a 78-68 home win over the London Lions elevated the Montenegrin side to an 8-5 record, largely thanks to its primary weapon.
The home team, which leads the competition in offensive rebounds, grabbed 17 boards in London’s paint and also had 23 at the other end to prevail over the visitors, who also committed 15 turnovers.
Buducnost was 0-of-6 for three-point range in the first half but improved vastly after the break and finished on 5-of-15, while the visitors hit 5-of-21 shots from downtown.
London paid the price for an awful start, missing its opening 13 shots from the floor and having lost the first quarter 13-7, which was the team's lowest tally ever in the competition in a single quarter.
The visiting team’s outstanding forward Sam Dekker stood out with 27 points and 8 rebounds, while Ovie Soko added 11 points. However, Buducnost was able to benefit from a more balanced workload as Erick Green netted 16 points, Trae-Bell Haynes chipped in with 14 and Cameron Reynolds added 11.
In addition, Alpha Kaba racked up 9 points and 11 rebounds while Edin Atic had 8 boards, highlighting the home team’s more resourceful roster which had too much for the battling Lions.
