Matchday 2 of the Eurocup left the three Spanish teams in the same position with one win and one loss, though by different paths. Kids&Us Manresa found in Europe the first victory it has yet to achieve in the Liga Endesa, while La Laguna Tenerife and Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos suffered their first defeats away from home. In the upper half, six teams remain undefeated. In Group B, however, no one can break away: after two matchdays, all eight teams are 1-1.
The Spanish Teams
Kids&Us Manresa 101-89 ratiopharm Ulm. Manresa needed a win and got it in its European debut at Nou Congost. A second quarter with a barrage of three-pointers (9 of 14 at halftime) gave them an advantage that Ulm cut into after the break with back-to-back threes from Devin Schmidt and a basket from Simisola Shittu. Ocampo called timeout, JD Notae and Nick Ongenda restored breathing room, and Ferran Bassas set the pace down the stretch. Timmy Allen posted 30 points and Notae added 20.
London Lions 89-77 La Laguna Tenerife. Jaka Lakovic's team won the first quarter, but London Lions turned it around in the second (28-23) and never relinquished control. Thomas Kennedy dominated the paint with 12 of 13 from two-point range, and the free throw line decided the rest: 28 of 36 for the hosts versus 11 of 21 for La Laguna Tenerife. Shermadini (18) and T.J. Bamba (16) led a team that went scoreless from three-point range, with Kyle Guy shooting 1 of 9 from deep.
Aris 93-80 Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos. Burgos left the game before halftime: a 14-0 run between the first and second quarters and a 53-30 halftime score. Chase Audige (25) led the comeback attempt, and Doumbouya (18) and Dani Díez got it to within twelve (83-71), but Nenad Dimitrijevic, with 21 points, shut down any comeback hopes.
Group A: Hapoel Jerusalem and Aris, Undefeated
Hapoel Jerusalem added its second win in Ljubljana (64-75) against Cedevita Olimpija, which remains winless, with Dusan Miletic (14 points and 8 rebounds) as the standout. Aris is also 2-0 after beating Burgos. The wildest game in the group came in Rostock: the Seawolves won by one (87-86) against Rigas Zelli, who had Tony Perkins inspired (35 points). Derthona Tortona came back against Le Mans with a 9-0 run in the final two minutes (89-83), with Justin Gorham (22 points and a crucial block) as the star.
Group B: Eight Teams at 1-1
No team could repeat a victory. Turk Telekom came back against Maxima Roma with a fourth quarter of 32-12 (92-77), with Jerrick Harding at 20 points. Skyliners Frankfurt, which had allowed 104 points in Venice, beat Siauliai (79-71) with 16 points from Judah Mintz. U-BT Cluj-Napoca, which had lost by 34 in Rome, beat Reyer Venezia (98-92) with 26 points from Javonte Smart. And London Lions made their debut against La Laguna Tenerife.
Group C: Napoli and Tofaş Lead, Defending Champion Still Winless
Napoli struck in Podgorica (75-93), with a 20-point halftime lead and 23 points from Zac Seljaas. Tofaş is also 2-0 after winning at JL Bourg (82-89), the defending champion, which has two losses. Slask Wroclaw won in Trento (81-94) and Niners Chemnitz made its debut against Neptunas Klaipeda (93-84).
Group D: BC Roma's First Eurocup Victory
Luka Dončić's Rome project secured its first Eurocup win against Lietkabelis (92-87). They led by 14 in the second quarter, suffered a 0-9 run late and closed it out with a three-pointer from Erik Stephenson and 21 points each from Nico Mannion and Simonovic. Bahçeşehir routed Balkan (60-101), with seven players in double figures and the injury to Javante McCoy, who left the game in the 4th minute. PAOK struggled to win in Sarajevo (72-75) against Bosna, the team that took the spot of AS Monaco, the club that announced its dissolution this Wednesday.
