Amare Miller's 31 points carry Svendborg past EBAA

Amare Miller's 31 points decided Svendborg against EBAA

Amare Miller decided the game. His 31 points and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes led Svendborg Rabbits to a 97-82 home win over EBAA Bears Academy.

The line sat well above his usual output. Across 7 games in 2026/2027 he has averaged 16.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2 assists, and he beat all three marks here.

His PIR of 33 was the best of the night. No other player on either side came close to matching his combination of scoring and rebounding.

How Amare Miller built his 31 points inside the arc

Miller did nearly all of his damage close to the basket, making 13 of his 18 two-point attempts. That inside finishing was the foundation of the whole performance.

He was less involved from distance, going 1 of 4 from three, and he made both of his free throws. The efficiency near the rim meant he did not need the outside shot to fall.

He also worked hard on the glass, finishing with 10 rebounds alongside 3 assists. With only 1 turnover in 29 minutes, Svendborg rarely lost the ball through him.
