Reyer Venezia Dominate Skyliners Frankfurt in 104-72 EuroCup Win

Reyer Venezia opened their EuroCup Basketball campaign with a statement performance on September 30, 2026, dismantling Skyliners Frankfurt 104-72 at the Palasport Taliercio. The Italian club controlled the game from the opening minutes, never trailed after the first quarter, and turned a competitive early exchange into a lopsided victory behind balanced scoring, disciplined defense, and a decisive advantage on the boards.

The 32-point margin was the story of the night: Venezia shot efficiently from the field, moved the ball with purpose, and punished Frankfurt in transition. The visitors had no answer for Venezia’s half-court execution or their depth, as the home bench extended the lead in the second half and kept the pressure on until the final buzzer.

Venezia set the tone with a 27-16 first quarter, using crisp pick-and-roll action and early three-point shooting to force Frankfurt into long, contested possessions.

With the outcome secure, Venezia’s rotation players closed out the final period and preserved the impressive point differential.

Key Moments

• First-quarter surge: Venezia opened with a 10-0 run, capped by a Marco Spissu three-pointer and an Amedeo Tessitori finish inside.
• Second-quarter response: Frankfurt briefly trimmed the deficit to 14, but Venezia answered with a 12-0 burst to restore full control before halftime.
• Third-quarter dagger: An 18-4 run early in the second half turned the game into a rout, with Jordan Parks providing transition highlights.
• Bench contribution: Venezia’s reserves maintained the defensive intensity and added steady scoring in the fourth quarter.

Standout Players

Reyer Venezia: Marco Spissu led the way with 19 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds, knocking down four three-pointers. Amedeo Tessitori added 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks, while Jordan Parks finished with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Davide Moretti contributed 12 points off the bench, and the team finished with 24 assists on 38 made field goals.

Skyliners Frankfurt: Booker Coplin scored 18 points and grabbed 5 rebounds, while Kevin McClain added 13 points and 4 assists. Lorenz Brenneke chipped in 10 points, but Frankfurt struggled to find consistent offense after the opening quarter.

Tactical Story

Venezia’s offense was built on pace and spacing. The guards attacked the paint off high screens, forcing Frankfurt’s defense to collapse and creating open looks on the perimeter. When the Skyliners switched, Venezia punished mismatches inside with Tessitori and Parks. Defensively, the Italian side disrupted Frankfurt’s rhythm, forced 16 turnovers, and limited the visitors to 7-of-28 shooting from beyond the arc.

Frankfurt’s half-court offense often stalled in the second and third quarters. Without easy baskets in transition, they relied on tough mid-range shots and rarely reached the free-throw line. Venezia’s 48-30 rebounding advantage and 20 second-chance points further tilted the game.

EuroCup Table Impact

The victory gives Reyer Venezia an early 1-0 record in EuroCup group play and a valuable +32 point differential. In a competition where tiebreakers can decide advancement, that margin could prove important later in the season. For Skyliners Frankfurt, the loss is a tough start, but the long group phase offers time to correct their offensive issues.

What’s Next

Reyer Venezia will look to carry the momentum into their next EuroCup fixture and domestic league play. Skyliners Frankfurt return home needing a sharper offensive performance and better ball security. Both teams will study this tape closely, but for Venezia, the 104-72 result stands as an early warning to the rest of the competition.
