Overview

The story of the eighthfinals game in Germany on Wednesday was ratiopharm Ulm coming back from a 17-point deficit to defeat Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 92-83 and one of the keys to that victory was the hosts dominating the paint.

In the first minute alone, Bruno Caboclo showed some of what was to come with 4 points – including a put-back basket – a block and a defensive rebound. It seemed to matter little as Buducnost outscored Ulm 12-30 over the next 9 minutes. However, Caboclo and the Ulm big men had plenty to say all game long.

Even after the halftime break, when Ulm needed to get its attack going, its first 2 baskets came via the offensive glass: one by Caboclo and the second via Philipp Herkenoff. For the night, Ulm outrebounded Buducnost 45-33 and it almost doubled the visitors on the offensive glass, 17-9. From those, Ulm netted 21 second-chance points compared to 10 for Buducnost. Those numbers are even more impressive considering that Buducnost was third in the regular season with 39.0 rebounds per game.

What’s more, Ulm shot 21-for-36 on two-pointers for the game (58.3%), while holding Buducnost to 22-for-47 (46.8%). Caboclo was key to the hosts inside scoring, making 7 of 8 two-point shots. He finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. Buducnost's star center Alpha Kaba also had 11 rebounds as well as 3 steals and 3 blocks, but was quiet on offense with just 6 points on 2-for-5 two-point shooting.

Without a consistent frontcourt scoring threat – 55.4% of Buducnost’s points came from starting guards Erick Green (29) and Trae Bell-Haynes (17), the visitors could not threaten Ulm inside and the hosts were able to become more aggressive in other areas to turn things around in the second half and advance to the quarterfinals.
