Two big games this weekend as the semifinals of the European Champions League get under way. On Saturday, Hamburg hosts Ciudad Real in a rematch of last year’s semifinal. Last year, Ciudad Real, the eventual champion, edged Hamburg on aggregate, 60-59 over two matches. Sunday’s match features heavily favored Kiel hosting Rhein-Necker Lowen and Jackson Richardson.
