Towers Hamburg Lose 98-94 to Neptunas After Williams' 32-Point Night and Missed Late Three

Coach Benka Barloschky said the late three was the right call to avoid overtime.

Overview

  • Veolia Towers Hamburg fell 94-98 to Neptunas Klaipeda at the Inselpark Arena on January 7, extending their EuroCup skid to 13 defeats with zero points in the group.
  • Ross Williams scored 32 to lead Hamburg but committed a late turnover and missed a potential game-winning long-range shot in the closing seconds.
  • The game swung repeatedly with 19 lead changes reported, including a third-quarter surge highlighted by Zacharie Perrin’s free throws and a Devon Daniels three to open the fourth.
  • Attendance was listed at about 1,201, with a vocal contingent of at least 50 Neptunas ultras outshouting the home crowd.
  • Hamburg’s roster was slightly thinned by injuries and flu, and with progression already out of reach the club is emphasizing experience and growth in remaining EuroCup fixtures.
