Krka and Cibona have both achieved new triumphs in FIBA Europe Cup, by beating Leiden and Sopron at home, respectively. On the first night of the third round, Tajfun was defeated far away from home in Denmark against Bakken Bears.

Krka have achived their second win of the FIBA Europe Cup season, by blowing away Dutch side Leiden at home court in Novo mesto. The squad, led by Ivan Velić, decided the outcome of the game already in the opening half, when they went up by 14 points. However, they did not stop at that point, but kept increasing the lead, all until the final margin of 28 points. Jure Lalić topped the scoreboard with 14 points, while Luka Lapornik added 12.

Cibona are on 2-1 after three rounds played, after Slaven Rimac's squad have rolled over Hungarian rival Sopron at home in Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb in the third round of the season. The decisive one this time was the third quarter in which the home side have created themselves an 11-point advantage, combined with the previously created 3 and have easily maintained the lead until the very end. Marko Jagodić Kuridža was once again the top scorer of his team with 20 points, while James Florence added 18.

On the first day of the round, Tajfun were close, but keep waiting for their first international victory away from home, since they still haven't celebrated on the road both in FIBA Europe Cup or ABA League. Against Bakken Bears they fell short of success for only 4 points in the end, after the Danish side have won the last quarter by 9 points and have managed to turn the game that was already slipping away from their hands, completely around. For Tajfun Sandi Čebular led the way in scoring with 18 points, while Ceola Clark III followed with 13.
