Prometey end with win over group winner Ludwigsburg

Prometey defeated MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg 71-60, the fewest points scored by Ludwigsburg this season.

Chris Dowe (17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals), D’Angelo Harrison (15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) and Miro Bilan (10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 blocks) combined for roughly 59% of Prometey’s 71 points.

“First off, just happy we got the win,” said Dowe. “This game didn’t really have any meaning, but we still wanted to come out here and play hard against one of the best teams in the BCL so far this year. Happy we pulled out the win and continued our momentum from our Ukrainian League.”

Prometey grabbed 21 offensive rebounds and turned them into 22 second chance points, while Ludwigsburg had 13 second chance points.

In what was a solid all-around game from Prometey, they only made two free-throws, which was the fewest for a team in the BCL this season.

As the third place team from Group A, Prometey will face the second place team from Group B which will be Jerusalem, Karsiyaka or Ostrow.

Justin Simon led Ludwigsburg with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

As Group A winners, the German club know that they will be in a Round of 16 group with Group E winners Galatasaray Nef.
