TallTech beat Donar Groningen 83-70 in the European Basketball League on 30 September 2026. The home side had been fifth in the table with four wins and four losses, while the visitors sat fourth with five victories and three defeats. We had backed the away team at 71 per cent confidence, but the match went another way entirely.
TallTech took control early and never let the visitors back in. Donar Groningen could not find a rhythm from the opening minutes, and their shooting percentages dropped as the game wore on. By then the gap was already too wide to bridge.
What stood out was how TallTech defended the perimeter. Donar's guards struggled to penetrate, and the home side converted those stops into fast breaks. The visitors tried to adjust but kept turning the ball over at crucial moments.
On the statistics, TallTech shot better from the field and dominated the boards. They also won the turnover battle, which gave them extra possessions when Donar was trying to close the distance.
The result moves TallTech up to fourth place on goal difference, while Donar Groningen drop to fifth. Both sides remain in contention, but the momentum has shifted in Groningen's favour away from TallTech's home court.
