Zalgiris Kaunas-Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade | RS Round 6 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

Zalgiris Kaunas v Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (2024-10-30T18:00:00.000Z)

Zalgiris Kaunas beat KK Crvena zvezda 86-84 in Round 6 of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season, with Bryant Dunston scoring the game-winning basket at the buzzer.

Bryant Dunston game-winner sees Zalgiris down Crvena Zvezda at the buzzer, 86-84

Zalgiris Kaunas has the joint-best record in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague at 5-1 after beating Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 86-84 in Round 6, with Bryant Dunston becoming the hero after scoring the game-winning basket for the Lithuanian side. With this defeat, Crvena Zvezda dropped to a 3-3 record.

Deividas Sirvydis scored 14 of his game-high – and career-high – 17 points in the first half, with Zalgiris teammates Sylvain Francisco netting 15 and Alen Smailagic adding 14. For Crvena Zvezda, Codi Miller-McIntyre and Uros Plavsic had 16 points, which is a career-best mark for the center. Nemanja Nedovic also finished with 15 points.

Miller-McIntyre had a hot start to the game, scoring 5 early points, but back-to-back three-pointers by Brady Manek gave Zalgiris an 11-8 lead. When Dunston stole the ball from Nedovic and dished to Dovydas Giedraitis for a layup, making it 15-12, the roof almost came off Zalgirio Arena. In the closing stages of the first period, Sirvydis started to catch fire, scoring a triple off an out-of-bounds play and getting the shooter’s role on another three-pointer to put Zalgiris 24-16 ahead, with the score 24-18 after 10 minutes.

Despite Crvena Zvezda cutting the gap to two points, 24-22, after scores by Isaiah Canaan and Dejan Davidovac, Zalgiris quickly punched back through Smailagic or Francisco, who combined to help the hosts open the game’s largest lead at 33-24. It became a double-digit game when Dunston scored a tip-in, and Sirvydis scored 7 points in the final 3:28 of the quarter to help Zalgiris pull away and hold a 47-33 edge at the halftime interval.

The start of the third quarter saw Miller-McIntyre and Nedovic look to bring Crvena Zvezda back into the game, reducing the gap to 48-43. Francisco was leaving his fingerprints all over the game for Zalgiris, scoring layups and getting to the line, but the visitors were starting to get Plavsic more involved inside, which was paying off. Still, a layup by Sirvydis – off an assist from the Frenchman – and a three-pointer by Francisco in the final minute reopened a double-digit margin, 66-55. Nedovic’s floater on the run made it 66-57 entering the final frame.

Nedovic, Plavsic and Nikola Kalinic combined to help Crvena Zvezda go on a 2-9 run to make it 68-66. Smailagic, another Serbian but wearing the jersey of Zalgiris, got his team back on the board with a layup in which he caught Kalinic in the face, but it was deemed that it was part of his natural motion. Although he missed the and-one, he grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked, giving him 4 points in a hurry, 72-66. Canaan then scored 5 points in 23 seconds to make it 74-71, but Francisco and Arnas Butkevicius gave Zalgiris breathing room again, 78-71. Plavsic became key for the Serbian side down the stretch, scoring 7 points in some crucial moments as Crvena Zvezda levelled it at 79-79. 

Plavsic then got to 9 fourth-quarter points with 13 seconds to go, 82-81, but Francisco’s 2 free throws made it a three-point ballgame, 84-81, with 11 seconds to go. Miller-McIntyre stunned the home crowd with a triple that set an 84-84 score, but Dunston’s one-handed desperation shot dropped, sending the home fans into raptures and wrapping up an 86-84 win.

The game went down to the wire, with plenty of drama involved

Ulm tops Trento, 84-82, returns to winning way in return home 

ratiopharm Ulm returned to its winning ways in its return home by fighting past Dolomiti Energia Trento 84-82 to snap a two-game losing streak. Ulm rallied from a 13-point deficit but wasted a 13-point late in the third quarter before holding to improve to 4-2 on the season.

Marcio Santos scored 23 points with 11 rebounds as well as the game-preserving defensive stop while Alfonso Plummer drained 6 three-pointers in scoring 21 points and Ben Saraf tallied 14 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists for the winners. Ulm played its first home game since beating Joventut Badalona on October 1 and had lost its last two games by allowing 107 and 125 points. Trento could not build on its surprise win over Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv last week in falling to 2-4. Anthony Lamb and Eigirdas Zukauskas both scored 17 points and Jordan Ford had 14 points in the loss. 

Trento took a 1-5 lead as Ulm needed nearly 3 minutes to score a basket. Ulm went ahead 18-14 after triples from Santos, Nelson Weidemann and Plummer. But Zukauskas and Ford connected from long range and the visitors led 18-20 after 10 minutes.

Trento’s defense stood strong in the early stages of the second quarter, giving up just one basket in the first 6 minutes while Myles Cale scored 4 points and Selom Mawugbe had a block and alley-oop dunk for a 20-33 cushion. Ulm responded with the next 11 points with Santos scoring 5 points and Plummer draining another triple in making it 31-33.  Trento executed better in the final minute with 6 straight points for a 33-41 cushion at the break. 

Plummer started the second half on fire with 4 three-pointers within 83 seconds in a personal 12-3 run to put Ulm ahead 45-44. The hosts just kept going and it was 55-46 after a Santos triple and Isaiah Roby three-point play. Zukauskas did his best to keep Trento close with 7 points, but Saraf completed a three-point play and Weidemann buried a three-pointer to increase the lead to 68-55 with just 86 seconds left in the third quarter. But Trento reeled off 9 straight points and was down 68-64 after 30 minutes.

Both teams struggled to execute offensively early in the final frame with Toto Forray and Saraf each hitting a triple for their side. Saraf’s three-point play made it 76-69 only to see Lamb score 11 straight points to put Trento ahead 78-80 with 2 minutes to play. Santos responded with a dunk and three-pointer and Ulm was ahead 83-80. Mawugbe scored but missed the bonus free throw while Saraf could only split two foul shots with 16 seconds left for an 84-82 score. Santos preserved the win by challenging Zukauskas's shot in the closing seconds. 

Marcio Santos stood out with a double-double for the winners

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv bounced back from its last road loss in Trento by defeating Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 92-72 at Samokov Arena in Bulgaria on Wednesday night. 

Hapoel shows no mercy to beat Buducnost, 92-72

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv bounced back from its last road loss in Trento by defeating Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 92-72 at Samokov Arena in Bulgaria on Wednesday night. Hapoel got out to a slow start, trailing 15-22 late in the first quarter, but Jonathan Motley, in the second, and Marcus Foster, in the third, fueled the hosts to a 74-55 advantage entering the final stanza that buried the visitors. Hapoel improved to 4-2 and Buducnost slipped to 2-4.

Motley finished as the game's top-scorer with 30 points plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists to tie his career-high PIR of 39. Marcus Foster followed with a career-high 23 points with an almost-perfect shooting card, while Bar Timor contributed 10 points for the winners. McKinley Wright and Rasheed Sulaimon scored 13 points apiece to lead Buducnost and Yogi Ferrell had 11 in the losing effort.

Both teams geared up in offense quickly and built good scoring momentum early in the game. Motley and Foster teamed up for Hapoel, with the former scoring 7 points - including his first three of the season, while Kenan Kamenjas and Sulaimon were pulling the strings for Buducnost. A triple by the latter gave Buducnost a 12-15 edge, which Nikola Tanaskovic extended to 14-19 soon after. Once Hapoel rested Motley and Foster, its scoring rhythm went down, and the visitors started controlling the boards. Ferrell dug it deeper, 15-22, from behind the arc, right before Noam Yaacov closed the first period with the home team trailing 17-22.

The scenario changed dramatically after the break when Joe Ragland showed up and ignited Hapoel with a bucket, a dish for an Oz Blayzer slam and forcing a turnover on the following possession to make it a one-possession game, 21-22. Those actions revitalized the hosts, who found three consecutive three-point offenses to take a 30-25 lead. The run continued with Motley taking the reins again on both sides of the court, good for a double-digit home advantage, 40-28. Buducnost lost energy under the boards but managed to resist thanks to a good scoring spurt coming from its backcourt, which helped the visitors reach halftime still alive, 46-38.

Kamenjas made the gap smaller with an early bucket, but it was nothing but a temporary relief against the show that Foster would put up right away. Hapoel summoned him at the very beginning of the third quarter and the American guard responded with an astonishing performance. He nailed back-to-back threes as Hapoel recovered a double-digit lead, 52-42, and followed with 2 more two-pointers and a couple of extra triples to boost the advantage to 64-50. Overall, Foster scored 16 points without missing a shot in less than 6 minutes, giving room to his team to build the final run. Timor and Yaacov followed with consecutive three-point plays that extended the distance to 74-55 at the end of the third quarter.

Buducnost had not said its last word yet, though, as Dordije Jovanovic and Aleksa Ilic took advantage of the minutes their coach granted them to push the visitors back into the game, 78-65, with less than 7 minutes remaining. Their reaction had forced two timeouts by Hapoel head coach in only 1:11, with the latter resulting in the return of Motley to the court. His comeback was exactly what Hapoel needed, as he provided the next 10 points for his team, bringing a safe cushion back to the home side, 90-70, and sending Buducnost to the ropes.

Motley and Foster combined for 53 points to lead Hapoel

Depleted Jerusalem breezes past Cedevita, 83-94

Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem got back to winning ways with a no-doubt-about-it 83-94 road win over Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana on Wednesday night. Jerusalem improved to 4-2 in Group B, the same record as Cedevita, which lost for the first time at home this season.

Depleted and playing without big men Justin Smith and Austin Wiley, the visitors took the lead for good with a 0-8 run to start the second quarter, then pulled away in the third when Jerusalem hit 6 triples and scored 30 points, increasing the lead to more than 20 points and then cruising the rest of the way. 

Jared Harper paced the winners with 30 points and 5 assists. Yovel Zoosman scored 18 points, Khadeen Carrington 17 and Chris Johnson amassed 11 points and 11 rebounds. Jaka Blazic had 15 points for Cedevita. Gregor Glas finished with 13 points, Devin Robinson and Devan Jones scored 12 apiece and Joan Beringer netted 10 in a losing effort.

Martinas Geben scored twice for the hosts early on, but Jerusalem replied with a 0-10 run, including a three-point play from Gabriel Chachashvili and a triple from Carrington to make it 6-12. Rok Radovic answered with 5 points, including a three-pointer, to help tied the game, and a transition triple from Blazic put Cedevita up 17-16. Speedy Smith answered right back with a three of his own and the teams were tied at 19-19 after 10 minutes.

The visitors opened the second quarter with a 0-8 run which included a three-point play from Harper and a triple from Zoosman. Geben scored inside, ending a drought of nearly 5 minutes without a basket for Cedevita, but Harper and Zoosman extended the lead to 21-31. Robinson scored 5 points for the hosts, including a three-point play, but Harper and Johnson, the latter with a triple, opened a 28-39 margin. Jones scored on consecutive possessions for the hosts, but Harper and Johnson made sure Cedevita did not cut much into the lead and Jerusalem took a 36-45 cushion into halftime.

Aleksej Nikolic and Zoosman traded triples to start the scoring in the third quarter. Carrington's basket extended the lead to 39-52, and after a triple from Blazic, a three-pointer from Jeremy Morgan made it 42-57. Beringer had a big dunk for the hosts, but Zoosman and Harper each knocked down another triple before Morgan's three-point play and 2 more threes from Carrington made it 49-74.

Jerusalem took a 55-77 advantage into the final 10 minutes. Harper's triple pushed the margin to 25 points again. Cedevita showed life by scoring the next 8 points, including a monster dunk by Devin Robinson, but Morgan's triple halted the surge. A three from Glas made it 68-83 and another triple of his cut it to 77-89 with 3:00 to go. However, it proved to be too little, too late for the hosts.

Jared Harper stood tall with 30 points for the winners
