Turk Telekom used a 28-13 third quarter to open a 22-point lead after 30 minutes and the difference in the shooting numbers through the first three quarters is all one needs to know.

During the first three quarters the hosts made 21 of 28 two-pointers (75.0%) while sinking 8 of 14 three-pointers (57.1%). Turk Telekom even made 11 of its 12 (91.7%) free throws.

Hamburg, which had only 10 players available for this game, shot 8 for 23 (34.8%) on two-pointers and 8 for 25 (32.0%) for threes while making 15 of 20 (75.0%) from the foul line through 30 minutes. Such differences in shooting accuracy were too much to overcome for Hamburg.

Turk Telekom Ankara dominated thanks to its shooting efficiency in a 95-70 win against visiting Hamburg Towers in their regular-season finale.

Telling numbers: Shooting did the job for Turk Telekom

This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 18 showdown between Gran Canaria and Umana Reyer Venice.

Post-game quotes: Gran Canaria vs. Reyer

### Walter De Raffaele, Umana Reyer Venice head coach:

"I am very happy for wining this game especially because of the condition we are in. The guys, they did a great job. We alternated a lot of different defenses. I am happy for them first. Now it is playoffs. We will try to enjoy it, try to keep going, try to progress as much as possible. We will see."

### Porfi Fisac, Gran Canaria head coach:

"Congratulations to Reyer on the win. We had a lot of problems scoring in our pick-and-roll. We had a lot of problems in our defensive transition. And in the second half, we improved a little bit at times on defense, but on offense, we kept going to our same plays."

### Jordan Theodore, Umana Reyer Venice guard:

"We have a lot of things going with our team, a lot of injuries, but today we had this mentality, next-man-up. And today the guys brought it. The coach did a great job of giving us a great game plan, and me, collectively with the guys, we came out and executed. I am just happy we got the win, and now we look forward to the playoffs."

Partizan came into the game ranked third in offensive rebounds this season with 12.3 per night and led the competition in two-point shooting percentage at 57.7%. Against Trento, Coach Obradovic's men struggled when it came to scoring from inside the arc; they were 17 for 48 on two-pointers, but made up for it by grabbing 19 offensive boards.

That mark was Partizan’s season-high and second-best ever, only behind the game in which it took 21 against Banvit Bandirma in 2014. Overall, Partizan collected 49 rebounds, which set a club record in the 7DAYS EuroCup, breaking the previous mark of 47 against CSU Asesoft Ploiesti in December 2014.

Partizan NIS Belgrade lived up to its strong rebounding reputation and set a club record against Dolomiti Energia Trento.

Reyer finished the stage with a 9-9 record and will face Boulogne Metropolitans 92 in the eighthfinals, while Gran Canaria, which dropped to 12-6, knew even before this game it would play Slask Wroclaw in the first round of the playoffs. The two teams traded leads throughout the game, and Reyer pulled away to a double-digit margin in the third quarter. Gran Canaria rallied, but Reyer used a 0-8 fourth-quarter run to take the lead for good. Jeff Brooks paced Reyer with 17 points, Jordan Theodore was everywhere with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and Mitchell Watt scored 15 points in the victory. For the hosts, John Shurna and Khalifa Diop scored 14 points apiece.

Andrew Albicy and Aleksander Balcerowski scored early for Gran Canaria, before Reyer answered through Brooks and Theodore. After Albicy and Theodore traded three-pointers, Balcerowski inside and A.J. Slaughter with a jumper gave Gran Canaria a 14-13 edge. But Brooks nailed a three and Martynas Echodas scored in traffic to put the visitors up 14-19. Diop had a pair of alley-oop baskets, including one at the buzzer to cut it to 18-19 after 10 minutes.

 

Diop scored to open the second quarter, but Andrea De Nicolao and Bruno Cerella hit back-to-back threes for Reyer. Javi Lopez answered from downtown and Shurna hit a second-chance triple to cap an 8-0 run that made it 28-25. But Theodore nailed a baseline jumper and De Nicolao a triple to restore the visitors' lead. Watt scored 5 more points, including a three-point play that made it 31-37. After Shurna knocked down another second-chance three-pointer, Brooks scored twice more on the other end to make it 34-41 at halftime.

Watt had a close-range basket, but Slaughter fueled Gran Canaria's run of 6 straight points. A three-point play from Oliver Stevic cut the deficit to 43-45. But Reyer answered with a 0-8 run, with Julyan Stone sinking back-to-back threes to open the first double-digit margin of the game, 43-53, midway through the third. After a timeout, Albicy got the hosts going again with a triple, and after Cerella and Diop traded close-range baskets, a jumper from Shurna helped made it 54-57 after 30 minutes.

 

Nicolas Brussino and Diop put Gran Canaria back ahead at the start of the fourth, but Reyer responded with defensive stops, while long jumpers from Bramos and Brooks made it 60-67. Brussino snapped a 0-8 run with a layup-plus-one, but Theodore nailed a jumper and Valerio Mazzola a triple to lead 63-72 with under 4 minutes to go. Brussino kept Gran Canaria in it with a pair of driving layups that cut the deficit to 68-72. Brooks gave Reyer a 6-point lead by hitting a dagger with one foot on the three-point line and Theodore added a stop-and-go drive with 30 seconds left to seal the outcome. 

In the final game of the regular season, Umana Reyer Venice held off Group B leader Gran Canaria 69-76 to claim sixth place.

Partizan improved to 12-4 and enters the knock-out rounds on a three-game winning streak, while already-eliminated Trento finished in last place in Group A with a 1-15 record after losing 12 games in a row. Despite building a 22-35 lead in the second quarter, Partizan saw Trento rally to lead 51-49 late in the third. A 0-9 spark in which Partizan went to the line 4 times helped the visitors regain a 53-61 advantage that they never surrendered. Zach LeDay recorded a double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds to pace the winners, who also found solid contributions from Dallas More with 12 points and Yam Madar, who posted 11 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Cam Reynolds set the tone for Trento with 15 points, followed by Dominique Johnson with 13.

Trento had a great start from behind the arc, as Diego Flaccadori opened fire with a three right after the tip-off and Reynolds added two more of his own to build an 11-7 edge after 3 minutes. Partizan went inside looking for a reaction, but a turnover and missed free throws prevented it from getting momentum on offense. Kevin Punter scored a layup and Madar showed up from downtown to end the drought and put Partizan ahead 15-16. LeDay joined in later with a tip-in to close the first quarter with the visitors leading 15-18. 

 

LeDay kept punishing Trento from inside early in the second, getting some help from Mathias Lessort to increase the margin to 17-24. Even though the hosts tried to change the trend with a timeout, Aleksa Abramovic and LeDay drilled consecutive three-pointers to keep Partizan going. A contested layup jumper and another triple by the latter made the difference reach double-digits, 22-35, as Trento looked completely stuck on offense. Maximilian Ladurner and Andrea Mezzanote came to the rescue to avoid an early sinking, helping Trento come within 29-37 at halftime.

Moore made a two-pointer and Alen Smailagic connected from deep to return a safe advantage to Partizan, 31-42, right after the intermission. The hosts didn’t give up, though, sparking a 2-8 run behind three-point plays by Jonathan Williams and Reynolds to stay into the game, 39-44. Flaccadori kept the rally alive and Johnson came up with 8 points in a row that flipped the coin, 51-49. Free throws allowed the visitors to stay calm and regain the lead, which LeDay fixed at 53-61 with a fastbreak dunk at the end of the third.

 

Desonta Bradford and LeDay swapped buckets to keep things unchanged until Madar went to the line to put Partizan ahead 55-65. Free throws by Abramovic allowed the visitors to stay out of reach, 58-68, halfway through the last quarter, but it was not enough to break the game. Both teams struggled to find offensive momentum and that benefitted the visitors, who entered crunch time with a 61-72 advantage. The beginning of the end for Trento started with a couple of free throws by Madar and finished with a three-pointer by Gregor Glas, which made it 61-77 entering the last minute.

Partizan NIS Belgrade escaped from BLM Group Arena with a 63-79 victory over Dolomiti Energia Trento on Wednesday night.

This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 18 showdown between Boulogne Metropolitans 92 and Lietkabelis Panevezys.

Post-game quotes: Metropolitans vs. Lietkabelis

### Boulogne Metropoitans 92 head coach Vincent Collet:

"I think we elevated our defensive intensity. Both teams have turned the ball over too many times but we made many steals in the last quarter, and from these good defensive stops, we had some fastbreak points and that made the difference. We took back the lead and defense was really the key. It was a team effort, but Lahaou Konate was fantastic on the ball. He put fantastic pressure and I think that changed the way they played. We were a little bit bothered, disturbed and before that, they were excellent, especially in their pick-and-roll offense. But when we could put this higher pressure on the ball, that changed the way they played. They were a little bit in panic and that made the difference."

### Lietkabelis Panevezys head coach Nenad Canak:

"We had 25 turnovers, which is too many against a team of this level like Metropolitans. So from those turnovers, they made easy fastbreak points. That gave them confidence and in the end, they made some tough shots. But the first impression of the game is we couldn't play our way in offense and allowed them to get so many steals."

### Boulogne Metropoitans 92 guard Will Cummings:

"I am proud of my team, we really came out and fought. We stayed together and produced good runs at the end... The difference for tonight was just toughness. We stayed together as a team and showed that we can be tough, and at the end of the game it really showed. We had a lot of key spots, a lot of key buckets. Tomer \[Ginat\] made two big buckets down the stretch that really lifted us for the win. What do I expect in the next round? I expect to win! It is simple, I expect to win. We didn't do all this work all year to just play one game. We expect to win and keep going."
