Hamburg losses forward Brown

Brown will be missing in action for foreseeable future due to a fracture in his left foot, the club announced on Saturday. Brown sustained the injury during the practice and is set to miss several weeks. He has averaged 5.4 points and 2.8 rebounds this season, but is coming off a fine performance in Group A victory over Slask Wroclaw, as he had 13 points on 3-for-4 three-point shooting.

7DAYS debutant Hamburg Towers learned it has lost the services of forward Zach Brown.

Andrews, Bitim dominated against Reyer 

Bursaspor faced trouble when two of its main players, top scorer Allerik Freeman and center Egemen Guven, left the the team to join Turkish Airlines EuroLeague squads. Bursaspor went on to sign Tolga Gecim, who got severely injured in this third EuroCup game with his new squad.

Two of its remaining players, Bitim and Andrews, stepped up big and are now playing a leading role, helping Bursaspor to win 3 of its last 6 games and increase its chances to reach the knock-out records. 

Both of them proved it against Reyer - Andrews finished the game with 27 points and 5 rebounds, Bitim had 25 points and 7 rebounds, with each of them accumulating a PIR of 29.

Frutti Extra Bursaspor overcame departures and injuries to stay competitive. Andrew Andrews and Onuralp Bitim had to do a lot with it.

Andrews Bitim dominated against Reyer

Andrews has been nothing but unstoppable in the last five games, missing his team's Round 12 showdown against Cedevita Olimpija. He averages 25.2 points and a PIR of 27.2 in those five games. Before that, Andrews had much worse numbers, posting 4.1 points and a PIR of 3.6.

Bitim also improved his numbers with his team's shorter rotation, averaging 16.2 points and a PIR of 17.2 in the last six games. Before that, he averaged 8.2 points and a PIR of 6.8. Bitim and Andrews turned a tough situation into an opportunity, and are definitely making the most out of their extended roles.

Frutti Extra Bursaspor showed great aggressiveness in the paint in its 80-66 home victory against Umana Reyer Venice in a rescheduled game from Round 11. 

Telling numbers: Bursaspor ruled the backboards 

Bursaspor heavily out-rebounded Reyer by 43-22, in which arguably was the biggest key to this game. It was the hosts' second-highest rebounding mark in its two EuroCup seasons, after the 47 its rebounders pulled down against Promitheas Patras in Round 4 this season. Kevarrius Hayes led the way with 15 rebounds, a new career-high and the joint second-best total in the EuroCup this season. His teammate David Dudzinski pulled down 16 boards in that game against Promitheas. Bursaspor boxed out close to perfection, allowing Reyer to grab just 3 offensive rebounds. The hosts pulled down 31 of a 43 total rebounds available under their own rim, or 91.2%.  

At the same time, Bursaspor buried 9 of 18 three-point shots (50%) and hit 25 of 46 attempts inside the arc (54.3%). Those 46 two-point attempts tied a club record and are the highest total this season for head coach Dusan Alimpijevic's team. Reyer could not catch up. The visitors made 16 of 32 two-pointers (50%) and 10 of 27 from downtown (37%). Reyer had more assists (15-20) and fewer turnovers (11-8). But in a game with very few turnovers, rebounding was more important than usual and Bursaspor did a great job, dominating the boards.

This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 11 showdown between Frutti Extra Bursaspor and Umana Reyer Venice.

Post-game quotes: Bursaspor vs. Reyer

### Frutti Extra Bursaspor head coach Dusan Alimpijevic:

"Very first, let's say the most important thing: amazing atmosphere! Our fans made it, and again let's say that it is a real joy to be coaching Bursaspor in front of these fans, to coach these players. I really enjoy it. Once again, thanks to our fans. Second, it was obvious that \[Reyer\] were a little bit tired after playing against Valencia. But on the other hand, we also have a smaller rotation, so let's say we had equal energy in this game. Again, it was amazing that my players found energy to play like this. So nothing is over. We are just in the good way, but nothing is over. We want to continue like this, and that is why I am calling our fans to come out again. Because we cannot play like this without them, with that energy that they are giving us from the tribune. Again, every game is important for us. Every game is like a playoff game for us. We have our goals and want to go in that direction."

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

"First of all, congratulations to Bursaspor. They deserved to win this game. Honestly, at the end of the game, the first thing that showed up is a totally different level of energy coming out of the third and fourth quarters. Until we had energy, we competed and it was a really close game. But with two games in 48 hours on the road, it was impossible to reproduce the same energy in the end of third and fourth quarters. Anyway, we need to keep going and focus on the next one."

### Frutti Extra Bursaspor forward Onuralp Bitim:

"First of all, I am very happy because this win was very important for us to get in the first eight \[playoffs\]. I am also very happy because my team trusted me and I trust them. I am playing well and the team is playing well... I don't know what to say, I am really happy right now! I am tired and have too many feelings! But it was a team success and I want to thank everybody in the stadium: our fans, our coaches and my teammates."

Hayes stepped up with a tip-in that Bitim followed with a fastbreak layup. Daye sank a corner triple but he didn't find much help among Reyer's other scorers. Meanwhile, Andrews buried a couple of jumpers to make it a 14-point game, 62-48. Jordan Morgan and Daye brought Reyer a bit closer, 64-53, after 30 minutes.

Keys to victory: Bursaspor vs. Reyer, Round 11

### Bursaspor needs its offense humming

Bursaspor pulled out an all-important 96-89 win over JL Mincidelice Bourg en Bresse on Tuesday and it will try to keep the momentum going. Bursaspor has one of the best offenses in the EuroCup this season and has scored at least 82 points in each of its last six games, averaging 87.7 points over that stretch. The team will need to keep that offense humming and its offense going against Reyer, which enters this game allowing the third-fewest points in the competition this season, 75.6 per game.

### Reyer must bring energy

Having played a game on Wednesday night, it will be a must for Reyer to recoup in less than 48 hours and match the hosts' energy from the opening tip-off. Reyer will also need to slow down the tempo of the game and get Bursaspor into playing half-court offenses as much as possible. The visitors will also need to exploit some of Bursaspor's weaknesses, one of which is its defensive liability close to the baskets. Bursaspor allows the second-highest shooting on two-pointers this season, 57.5%, and Reyer will try to take advantage.

Keys to victory: Bursaspor vs. Reyer

Andrews has been unstoppable since he was handed an extended role on the team due to roster changes. Over the last four games, Andrews has averaged 24.8 points, 5.0 assists and a PIR of 26.8. He has been hitting shots from all angles in those four games, downing 11 of 20 attempts inside the arc (55.0% 2FG), 18 of 32 from downtown (56.3% 3FG) and 23 of 25 free throws (92.0% FT). Andrews did not have his best game against Reyer in Round 2, getting 3 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 turnovers, but he helped Bursaspor to a 62-70 road victory. 

Bramos missed that game due to injury and has never played against Andrews in his long professional career. He is in his sixth EuroCup campaign and his seventh season with his current team. Bramos is averaging 8.1 points on 68.4% two-point shooting, 3.1 rebounds and a PIR of 7.7. Bramos, however, is shooting just 29.5% on three-point shots (13 of 44). He buried 55.3% of his shots from downtown in the 2020-21 EuroCup season and 41.4% in the 2019-20 campaign. Bramos faces a defensive challenge and should use his experience against Andrews in this key matchup.

Frutti Extra Bursaspor hosts Umana Reyer Venice in a rescheduled game from Round 11. It is a chance to see Andrew Andrews face Michael Bramos for the first time.
