Once again a Spanish club was too strong for Cedevita. The Orange crew suffered road defeat against Unicaja Malaga in the 2nd round of the Eurocup Top 16 stage.

Two rounds have passed in the Top 16 stage of Eurocup and, unfortunately, Cedevita are still winless. The boys from Zagreb lost the opening round match against Valencia at home, while this week they faced the same fate in the clash against the other Spanish team in the group – Unicaja Malaga.

Cedevita actually started the match in Malaga in a very good way as they won the opening quarter by 17:13. But, then everything started going downhill for the ABA league squad. Unicaja Malaga were slowly taking the control over the game and eventually scored a convincing win.

Ryan Boatright was again the top scorer in Cedevita with 19 points, while Ra’Shad James added 18.

Eurocup Top 16, Round 2, Wednesday, 11.1.2016:

UNICAJA MALAGA – Cedevita 73:59 (13:17, 23:16, 16:10, 21:16)
