That is what you call a team win! Petrol Olimpija have defeated Strasbourg in the 8th round of FIBA Champions League, with 6 players reaching double digits!
Domen Lorbek, Devin Oliver and Jan Špan scored 13 points each, Jordan Morgan and Dražen Bubnić made 12 points each, while Roko Badžim added 11 points for his team this Tuesday evening.
Still, despite that amazing team performance of the home side, we had a true basketball thriller in Ljubljana. At the end, it was former Petrol Olimpija player Zach Wright who had a chance to win this match for Strasbourg, however he missed the lay-up at the buzzer and the score remained - 78:77 for the Dragons!
