THE TAKE

Alba Berlin hosts former ULEB Cup champion Hapoel Jerusalem in a crucial Group C game on Tuesday in Berlin, Germany. Alba has a chance to take an important step forward as it seeks a spot in the elimination rounds for the first time. Coach Henrik Rodl's side lost last week 82-77 at Khimki, but point guard William Avery had another big game with 19 points and 5 assists. Avery (17 ppg., 5 rpg., 3.7 apg.) will face some of his old teammates after spending a season in Jerusalem two years ago. Hapoel (1-3), which was edged at home by Oostende last week could use a road win to take some pressure off the coach Dan Shamir and his charges. Berlin has produced some rock solid defense, allowing just 72.8 points for game, pulling down a league second-best 40.8 rebounds per game and blocking an average of 6.3 shots per game, with Sharrod Ford leading the league with 3.7. Alba has a balanced and versatile attack Avery and Julius Jenkins (13 ppg.) on the perimeter and Chris Owens (15 ppg., 9.7 rpg.) and Ford inside. Hapoel's biggest problems have been at the defensive end, allowing 80.8 points per game. Last season's regular season MVP Mario Austin (20.2 ppg., 7.2 rpg.) teams with Jurica Golemac (9.2 ppg., 4.2 rpg.) to give the visiting team a promising frontline. Playmaker Ed Cota (6.7 ppg., 2.7 apg.) must step up alongside Meir Tapiro and Timmy Bowers (16.7 ppg.) to put points on the board while limiting Berlin's guards. Jerusalem is surely dangerous with its back to the wall. Interesting to note is that Jerusalem has only one before missed the elimination rounds in the ULEB Cup and that was with Avery at the helm. Will he be a part of that happening once more?

Tim Bowers - Hapoel Migdal Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem erupted from beyond the arc Wednesday for a crucial Group C win over Alba Berlin 77-92 in Germany. Jerusalem made 13-of-17 threes on the way to its first road win of the season, which saw the team improve to 2-3 in Group C of the competition. Alba dropped to 2-3 as both teams join Khimki and Telindus Oostende in a four-way tie for third place in the group. After a close first half, Jurica Golemac and Meir Tapiro started the third quarter with a 7-0 run as Hapoel pulled away for good. Jerusalem's red-hot three-point shooting continued throughout the second half as the visitors cruised to victory. Timmy Bowers led Hapoel with 23 points, Mario Austin had a 18 points and 11 boards and Ed Cota 17. Golemac and Dror Hajaj added 11 each and Tapiro finished with 10 points, 4 assists and 4 steals. Sharrod Ford led Berlin with 18, Chris Owens added 15 points and 6 rebounds, Julius Jenkins had 13 and ex-Hapoel guard William Avery posted 11 points and 6 assists.

Cota scored the only basket of the first two minutes as the game got of to a slow start. Berlin finally got going midway through the period when Jenkins finished a fastbreak and Ford added two free throws for an 8-6 Alba lead. Austin answered with a buzzer-beating triple, but he would wind up on the bench sooner that Hapoel planned with his second foul. However, reserve Erez Markovic came in and made a layup to bring his team within 1. Ford made a rare three as Berlin went up 18-13, before Bowers made it 18-15. after 10 minutes. Berlin went to Ruben Boumtje Boumtje at the start of the second period as the lead grew to 25-19. Bowers ended Jerusalem's dry spell with a long-range jumper and Austin followed with a triple to make it 27-26. Alba, struggling with poor shot selection from its guards, took a timeout, but still could not stop Hapoel from taking a 29-30 lead with two more back-to back baskets by Austin. Sharrod Ford successfully attacked Hapoel's basket for a three-point play, but Hapoel answered with Tapiro's triple for 32-30. Dror Hajaj had the last word with a triple for a 34-36 Hapoel lead at the break.

Chris Owens - Alba BerlinFord opened the second half with a long jumper to tie the score, but Golemac and Tapiro scored 7 points to put Alba in trouble. After a timeout Jenkins made a huge triple to get the home crowd involved, but Austin was there to calm it down with a jumper. Ford dunked and blocked a shot at the other end, but Tapiro grabbed the ball to hit a cool triple and deflate the hosts' hopes. Ford and Avery kept Alba alive with two lay-ups. but Bowers hit back with 4 points to put Hapoel's lead back to 45-52. Owens scored 4, answered by two triples from Cota. Koko Archibong and Jenkins hit triples for Berlin, then Golemac and Hajaj did the same to end the third quarter with Jerusalem leading 57-66. A Bowers jumper and a triple by Hajaj let Hapoel race to a 57-71 lead at the start of the final period. Owens and Avery scored Alba's first points of the quarter, but the Berliners could not stop Austin nor Bowers, who continued Hapoel's magic night from outside with another triple, which broadened Hapoel's lead to 64-78. Hapoel managed the clock well and hit several shots at the end of the shot clock as the former ULEB Cup champs scored their first road win of the season.

Head Coaches

RODL, HENRIK
Alba Berlin
"This was, of course, a disappointing loss, but you have to give respect to the Jerusalem team. Especially in the second half they gave a shooting clinic. I have rarely seen a team shooting like Hapoel did today. Of course, we like to have a little better defense on these shooters, but in general, when you shoot 13-for-17 threes, there's not much, you can do. I still thought, that especially in the third quarter we started to score ourselves, but we could never contain their team and that was the reason, why we lost this game."
SHAMIR, DAN
Hapoel Migdal
"We came here in a complicated and crucial situation after two losses in the ULEB Cup and one in the national league. Of course, I am very satisfied with the way we played and hope, that we can turn it around from here. This was a big win against a team and an organization we respect very much."

Players

ARCHIBONG, KOKO
Alba Berlin
"We just did not play well, we did not take care of the things we had to do and they played very well, shot the ball very well late in the game. We'll look at the tape tomorrow, will look at all the things we did wrong and try to correct it."
BOWERS, TIMMY
Hapoel Migdal
"Our good shooting has a lot to do with our ball movement. We moved the ball extremely well, played extremely unselfish tonight. A lot of guys passed their shots up to get the other guy open. If we do that, it's really easy to make shots. We came here with our back to the wall, we knew that it would be tough to beat Alba on their home court. But we just wanted to play with a lot of intensity and play our style of basketball on the offensive end. Fortunately this put us into a situation to win."
