Commander in the paint and silent team leader: Austin Wiley is a new powerhouse in Europe

Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem is once again among the favorites to win the BKT EuroCup this season, and much of the credit goes to American center Austin Wiley.

The Israeli team is playing excellent basketball, with an impressive 11-2 record, leading Group A of the BKT EuroCup, and it seems likely it will secure a bye directly into the quarterfinals. 

Reining EuroCup MVP Jared Harper leads the team with assistance from Cassius Winston, and the core of local Israeli players is doing an excellent job. But, another standout player attracting significant attention is 26-year-old center Austin Wiley.

The guard spent first part of the season with Virtus

Dolomiti Energia Trento scraped an 88-87 home win over Panionios Cosmorama Travel Athens to stay firmly in contention for a EuroCup postseason spot, improving to 8-6 in Group B while the Greek side dropped to 2-12 and remained rock bottom in Group B.

Trento edges Panionios on Khalif Battle's buzzer-beater

Dolomiti Energia Trento scraped an 88-87 home win over Panionios Cosmorama Travel Athens to stay firmly in contention for a EuroCup postseason spot, improving to 8-6 in Group B while the Greek side dropped to 2-12 and remained rock bottom in Group B.

It was a game of two very different halves as Trento steamrolled through the first and led 49-30 shortly before the interval, only for Panionios to turn the matchup on its head in the second. Trailing 51-37 at halftime, the visitors led 64-69 at the end of the third quarter and maintained a 76-81 advantage with just a few minutes left on the clock.

Trento then found an extra gear to force the final twist and win by the skin of its teeth, with Khalif Battle emerging as the hero after he sank a tough buzzer-beating floater and was presented a bottle of champagne postgame for his efforts. The home side survived an almighty scare, however, as Panionios put its game face on in the second half and shot the lights out to finish on 11-of-25 from deep, having made only 1-of-7 in the first quarter.

Joe Thomasson, who joined the club less than a fortnight ago, was particularly lethal from mid-range and downtown, coming close to handing new coach Nenad Markovic a second successive win after Panionios had lost 10 in a row. 

“I didn’t expect to win like this, but a win is a win and I am very happy that we continued our (progress) in the EuroCup,” Trento head coach Massimo Cancellieri said in his postgame comments. “At this point, with four games to go in the regular season, the important thing is to get the victory and that’s what we did. We threw away a big lead, but we stayed calm and poised, and it’s important for us to have won the game with the last shot. We were lucky this time.”

DJ Steward paced Trento with 16 points, despite shooting just 2-of-11 from inside, and Devante Jones overcame illness to rack up 11 points and 8 assists. His incisive drives to the basket made him a constant threat to the Panionios defense. Jordan Bayehe chipped in with 15 points and 6 boards for Trento, which next faces Lietkabelis Panevezys in a bid to strengthen its grasp on a postseason spot, with the Italian side currently in fifth place in Group B.

Delighted with Trento snatching victory from the jaws of what could have been a damaging defeat, Jones heaped praise on his teammates and particularly on Battle. 

“We’ve got players like Khalif and DJ on our team and I’ve got so much faith in those guys,” he said. “Having Khalif here is a big blessing. The team did great, everybody did great and it’s a very important win for us. The next game is probably even more important, so we’ve got to be ready.”

Panionios head coach Nenad Markovic, who joined the Greek side on December 30, could only rue a missed opportunity to defy the odds and stage an upset, although he praised his team’s second-half effort, which had Trento reeling and hanging on for a fifth win in the last six games.

“That’s basketball. In the second half, we had the attitude we should have had from the beginning,” the Bosnian tactician said. “We played much better defense and controlled the rebounds; we found plenty of open shots, too. We fought hard and took the game to the last possession and in the end, they made that shot. Congratulations to them.”

Cedevita cruises past Neptunas for comfortable road win

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana claimed a comfortable road win at Neptunas Klaipeda on Tuesday night, improving to 9-5 in Group A to remain third in the standings.

Coming off last week's defeat, Cedevita played with a composed and balanced display away from home. The Slovenian side set the tone early, quickly building a double-digit lead. While Neptunas pushed back in the second quarter, Cedevita’s offensive efficiency proved decisive.

David Skara was a steady force for Cedevita, finishing with 16 points and 8 rebounds while shooting 85.7% from the paint. The Croatian center’s strong inside presence gave his team a physical edge over Neptunas.

‘‘For sure, we didn't expect to finish the game in the first quarter. We started well, we knew they were going to wake up, eventually they were gonna come back in the game. But as I said, we didn't let our aggressiveness go down and we stayed solid the whole game,’’ said Skara after the game.

Cedevita made the most of its depth, spreading the scoring across multiple players to keep the offense moving, with five players reaching double figures.

Umoja Gibson was another key contributor, hitting half of the team’s 8 three-pointers and finishing with 25 points and 4 assists, while DJ Stewart added 18, Jaka Blazic 16, and Aleksej Nikolic 12.

Cedevita’s inside scoring set the tone, with efficient ball movement creating easy opportunities in the paint. The visitors finished with 104 points, well above their 86.2 season average, and dominated the boards to take control of the game physically.

‘‘I think we started the game really focused,’’ said coach Zvezdan Mitrovic after the game. ‘‘I think it was not bad in the first quarter. After, Neptunas grabbed the game and started to play their way. But in the second half, after some problems in the third quarter, we opened our game, even in offense we started to play good… Very important game for us and we are really happy about all this.’’

Neptunas struggled to maintain its aggressiveness inside and connected on just 6 of 22 from beyond the arc. Zane Waterman led the second-quarter surge with 15 points, while Donatas Tarolis added 13, but their efforts weren’t enough to turn the game in the home side’s favor.

‘‘It was a very good start aggressively from Cedevita’s side,’’ said Coach Gediminas Petrauskas. ‘‘We did not respond to the physicality in the first 7 minutes. Then later, we kind of find the rhythm... And as soon as we kind of almost were in reach of the hand, we stopped and we got back again into our struggle offensively.’’

Next up, Cedevita will look to carry its road momentum back home against U-BT Cluj-Napoca, while Neptunas hits the road to face BAXI Manresa.

Russell, Creek combine for 43 as Cluj hammers Hamburg

“We just needed to win the game, it didn’t matter by how many points, as long as we got the job done,” said Daron "Fatts" Russell, after he inspired his team to an 11-point victory over Veolia Hamburg Towers on Tuesday night.

The American guard played the starring role in a 103-92 victory over the visiting German squad at BT Arena. Controlling the pace for the majority of the contest, the hosts earned a win that moved them to 8-6 for their EuroCup campaign and strengthened their hopes for postseason basketball.

“Now, we need to build momentum moving forward, get a couple of wins on the road, that will be good for us,” Russell shared.

Coach Mihai Silvasan’s men will have their chance to grab one of those precious road wins as early as next Tuesday, when they travel to face Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana in a clash that could have a major impact on playoff seeding.

"The goal was the victory,” said Silvasan. “We wanted to come back home, play a solid game, and win. It wasn’t perfect, but we take the win, we scored 103 points, and we move forward.”

Cluj leaned on its high-scoring duo in Russell and Mitchell Creek. The former ran the show, adding 5 boards and 4 dishes to his impressive 23-point scoring display, while shooting at a clip of 8-of-16 from the field. Australian forward Creek also put up major numbers for the hosts, finishing the game with 20 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds. Bolstering the offense further, Nighael Ceaser, Karel Guzman and Dusan Miletic also finished on double figures.

Zacharie Perrin stood out for Hamburg with 19 points and 13 boards for his third double-double of the campaign.

This one may hurt Benka Barloschky and his team, but Hamburg’s season has been solely about pride for a while now. The Towers fell to 0-14 for the season after the loss and with this being their final European road trip, they will remain winless on the road for the entire campaign. Having committed 10 more turnovers than Cluj, they have plenty to work on ahead of their four remaining home fixtures.

"I like the EuroCup and I also enjoy traveling to other European cities to play against the best teams on the continent. That’s why I’m a little sad that this is our last EuroCup trip of the season," Barloschky reflected.

“We had a very poor start in both halves, both at the beginning of the first and the second. At this level, especially away against a strong team, the margin for error is too small to compensate for such deficits. We managed to make the game closer at times, but then avoidable turnovers set us back again. That’s something we cannot accept and absolutely must improve. With cleaner ball control, we would have had a chance to make the game competitive.”

Both of these teams will compete next week, with Hamburg hosting Umana Reyer Venice on Wednesday, one night after Cluj’s trip to the Slovenian capital.

Despite a late Hamburg rally, Cluj’s offensive firepower proved decisive at BT Arena

Manresa survives after blowing big lead at Bahcesehir, learns major lesson 

BAXI Manresa wasted a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter but still managed to pull out a major road victory over Bahcesehir College Istanbul to improve its chances in the fight for the playoffs.

Manresa saw its massive advantage disappear as the hosts hit a barrage of three-pointers to take the lead in the final minute, but Retin Obasohan’s three-pointer ended up securing a 92-96 win.

“It was a hard-fought battle. I want to give Bahcesehir a tremendous amount of credit because they competed and made it tough on us. But at the same time, I am proud of our guys. I am proud of the way we played for 40 minutes. We were able to make plays down the stretch,” said Obasohan, who led the way with 20 points.

“The win is very important, but more important is how we played. We played amazing the whole game. Even when Bahcesehir reacted and scored 5 three-pointers in the last 5 minutes, which was a great reaction. That is what we expected,” Manresa head coach Diego Ocampo said.

“I am proud of how we finished the game. Not only about the game. We were solid and kept calm and we knew how to close the game.”

Manresa improved to 8-6 in Group A, including five wins in the last six games, and the Spanish side has scored at least 93 points in six of its last seven games.

Besides Obasohan’s output, Ferran Bassas had 19 points, Alex Reyes scored 15 points and Agustin Ubal collected 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the win.

Obasohan said he was concerned about the team once again letting opposing teams back into the game.

“This is something that has been happening too much. That is something we need to improve and get better at. I am glad to get the win. It’s always nice to learn lessons when you get the win. But at the same time, we gotta keep improving,” he said.

After nine lead changes and six ties in the first quarter, Manresa buried 3 three-pointers in a 2-13 run to take a 32-43 lead. The cushion grew to 15 and the visitors were up 39-52 at the break.

Bahcesehir scored the first 4 points of the second half to bring the deficit to single figures, but Manresa kept playing its game. Ocampo’s team even extended the advantage to 17 points and led 55-72 after 30 minutes.

The hosts’ offense finally picked up in the final frame and Malachi Flynn buried 4 triples - including a four-point play - to put Bahcesehir up 92-90 with 49 seconds to go. Obasohan answered with a three-pointer at the other end and Manresa did not allow any other score to grab the win.

Bahcesehir dropped to 9-5 after having won three of the last four games. Flynn paced the hosts with 21 points, Trevion Williams had 20 points and 9 rebounds and Tyler Cavanaugh contributed 15 points and 7 rebounds.

Bahcesehir head coach Marko Barac was most worried about his team’s poor first half.

“We found a way to show some fight in the last quarter after some terrible energy in the first half. After some signs of willingness in the third quarter, we finally found our game in the fourth,” said the coach.

Barac also called into question his team’s character, especially as the Turkish side dreams of winning the EuroCup and reaching the EuroLeague.

“We want to get to the EuroLeague, but when we have the opportunity to play in that rhythm, we show that we are not there yet in terms of character. This is what makes me sad,” he said. “In the second half, I wanted to find five guys who can show their character and play defense and fight for this club. This is everything I need. We need to bounce back after this. We are still high enough in the standings to achieve our goals. And I’m 100 percent sure we will do it.”

The visiting Spanish squad gave up a 17-point lead, but managed to hold on late

### [Turk Telekom Ankara 88-63 London Lions](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2025-26/turk-telekom-ankara-london-lions/U2025/136/)

Turk Telekom stepped up two gears in the second half after a lackluster first to breeze past London Lions, who dominated the boards in the opening 20 minutes (22-15) but fizzed out after the interval. The home team improved to 9-5 in Group B and edged closer to securing a postseason spot while the Lions dropped to 5-9 and now have only a slim chance of avoiding an early exit after losing four of their last five.

London led by as many as 10 points (18-28) in the second quarter and held a slender 30-32 advantage at the interval but the tide turned straight after the break as Turk Telekom conjured a 13-1 run. The rampant hosts were 60-42 ahead at the end of the third quarter and breezed through the fourth for a comfortable win.

Uros Trifunovic paced Turk Telekom with 16 points on 4-of-5 shooting from deep, Kyle Allman racked up 10 points and 4 assists and Marko Simonovic netted 6 points to go with 13 rebounds. At the other end, Ciaran Sandy stood out for the Lions with 12 points, as the visitors shot 6-of-32 from deep.
