After losing the derby match against Mega Bemax in ABA League last weekend, Cedevita crew managed to bounce back by scoring a pretty valuable European win this Wednesday evening. The Orange crew defeated Arka Gdynia in the 3rd round of the 2018/19 EuroCup regular season and therefore improved their overall score to 2-1.
Unfortunately, the other two ABA League teams who were playing their games this evening were defeated.
Mornar was a worthy opponent to Unicaja for 3 quarters, however the Spanish powerhouse then increased the pace and won the match in Bar. Mornar now have the overall score of 1-2.
Despite being without Rade Zagorac and Banja Sy, Partizan NIS played a very good match against Valencia on the road, however the black & whites were defeated at the end. It means that Partizan NIS are also currently at the score of 1-2 in EuroCup.
