Veolia Towers Hamburg-Aris Midea Thessaloniki | Round 8 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup
An 8-point possession!
Carr’s three-pointer early in the second half extended the lead to 47-41. Williams threw down a dunk and assisted on a Klepeisz score to cut the gap to 47-45. A Gallinat triple helped Aris go up 51-45 but Ulm pulled off an 8-point possession. Klepeisz hit a three-pointer and added 2 free throws on a De Sousa unsportsmanlike foul. Figueroa followed with a triple on the ensuing possession and the guests were up 51-53. The back and forth continued with 5 Aris points and a 57-53 lead. Both teams scored just 2 points in the final 4 minutes of the third quarter, which ended with Aris ahead 59-55.
Toliopoulos forces overtime
Ulm scored the first 5 points of the fourth quarter to go back ahead and begin another wave of back and forth with 4 lead changes. Philipp Herkenhoff and Pacome Dadiet both knocked down three-pointers as Ulm went up 64-68. It was never say die for Aris with Carr and Eleftherios Bochoridis hitting from deep and Diamantis Slaftsakis making it 72-71 midway through the fourth quarter. Three lead changes followed with a long Nunez triple and Ulm was up 74-77 inside the 3-minute mark. Both teams scored twice - Jallow’s layup with 26 seconds to go to make it 78-81 - but Toliopoulos evened the game 81-81 with a triple with just 6.9 seconds to go. And the game would go to overtime.
Ulm takes charge in extra session
Aris failed to convert on its first three possessions of the extra session and Ulm scored the first 8 points and went ahead 81-89 on Figueroa’s three-point play with 3 minutes to play. Toliopoulos got Aris going with a triple but Figueroa’s layin had Ulm up 86-93 with 81 seconds to go.
