Unfortunately, Budućnost VOLI were defeated by Olympiacos Piraeus in Round 25 of the 2018/19 EuroLeague regular season. This was the 5th consecutive defeat for the Blue squad in this competition.

The winner of this match was decided already in the first half, as the visitors were up by 17 points at the big break - 51:34. The Greek team have even increased that lead by 2 points until the end of the 3rd quarter - 73:54, while in the final 10 minutes Budućnost VOLI have managed just to reduce the gap a bit.

Anyway, the reigning ABA League champions will forget this defeat pretty quickly, as they are in front of a very important match in the regional league. Recall that Budućnost VOLI will face Mega Bemax on the road on Monday evening and that match may decide many things in the battle for the 2nd spot in the regular season.
