Burg will be Prometheus’ first opponent in the EuroCup KO matches. The French team defeated Tsedevita away 88-76 to finish fifth in Group A to find themselves on the way to Patrina, who finished fourth in Group B and will have that game at home.

James Palmer is Burg’s top scorer with 16.2 points, while Pierre Pelos (5.2) and Amida Brima (5) are the top rebounders. Veteran Axel Julien is the most creative player with 3.3 assists, coached by French veteran Frédéric Foutou.

If Prometheus takes Burg, they meet the winner of the Prometheus-Hamburg duel. The remaining couples are Gran Canaria – Bursaspor, Badalona – London Lions, Turk Telekom – Brescia, Ulm – Buduchnost, Hapoel Tel Aviv – Venezia, Lietkambelis – Paris.

As in Patras, Prometheus suffered a heavy 108-69 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel, which doesn’t seem to suit them at all. Thus, Yannis Christopoulos’ team finished their duties in the EuroCup group stage with a record of 11-7, giving them fourth place and home rights in the next stage of the competition. Giannis Christopoulos’ team will have to wait for the end of the 18th matchday to determine their opponents in the round of 16.

The race

Hapoel Tel Aviv started with a good morning shot at Prometheus’ racquet, a plan that proved very effective as they had 11/15 two-pointers in the first period that they used to have 28-19 (10′) finished.

As time went on, the gap began to narrow, by half-time it was 28 points (59:31, 20′), with the home side celebrating a party in the suit and Arnoldas Kulboka being the only reliable solution for the Patrinas in the scoring, after setting 12 points.

Aside from a good phase in the third period, the picture of the game didn’t change in the second half either, with the Patronos suffering a heavy defeat that they were to recover immediately.

The Difficult Mission of Prometheus in Israel

Today (March 28th) ends the regular EuroCup season for Prometheus, who will play against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel on matchday 18 (8 p.m., Novasports 5 and LIVE from Sportish).

Patrinoi have already secured 4th place – giving them home field advantage in knockout stage 16. However, there is also a scenario that puts them in 3rd place. To do this they need to win by 18 points (they were beaten in the first round by 83:100) and at the same time Turk Telekom defeated Buduchnost in their own game.
