Another tough night for Petrol Olimpija in the 2018/19 FIBA Champions League. The Dragons were defeated by Lithuanian team Neptunas in Ljubljana in Round 5 of the regular season.
Petrol Olimpija did have a good game offensively, as they scored 88 points in this match, however they had a lot of problems in their defense. Just look at the final score - the boys from Ljubljana conceded no less than 97 points!
Now we have 4 teams in Group C who have the overall score of 1-4 and Petrol Olimpija is one of them.
