On the road in France, Budućnost VOLI have fully deservedly prevailed over JL Bourg, as they have been in front almost throughout the game. Aleksandar Džikić’s squad have been up by a point after opening quarter, by 15 at halftime and by 8 after 3 quarters. In the end, they have prevailed with the final score of 86:82. Justin Cobbs led the way in scoring for Budućnost VOLI with 24 points, while D.J. Seeley added 21.
On the road in Spain, Cedevita Olimpija have triumphed over Valencia after a second-half comeback. The hosts have been in front throughout the majority of the first half and have departed to the big break with a point of advantage. In the second half of the game, however, Cedevita Olimpija have completely dominated the court, turned the game upside-down and emerged victorious with a 97:85 win. For the Dragons, Jaka Blažič had 24 points and Yogi Ferrell and Edo Murić 15 apiece.
A day later, Partizan NIS will visit Lokomotiv Kuban in Krasnodar.
