Both Cedevita Olimpija and Budućnost VOLI suffered defeats in Round 6 of the 2024/25 BKT EuroCup regular season.
And they were both defeated by Israeli teams.
Cedevita Olimpija lost at home against Hapoel Jerusalem by 83:94. After the first quarter in which each side scored 19 points, the visitors absolutely dominated the court during the 2nd and 3rd quarters as during those 20 minutes Hapoel Jerusalem escaped to a 22-point lead – 77:55. In the last 10 minutes of the game, Cedevita Olimpija only managed to reduce the gap a bit, but they were never close of making some epic comeback.
Budućnost VOLI suffered defeat against Hapoel Tel Aviv on the road – 72:92 – in a pretty similar way as Cedevita Olimpija lost their today’s match.
Budućnost VOLI had a 5-point lead after the opening quarter – 22:17, but then Hapoel Tel Aviv took over the control over the game and they scored 47 points combined in the 2nd and 3rd quarters to completely change the things down on the court. At the end, the Israeli powerhouse seized a comfortable 20-point-margin victory.
Budućnost VOLI now have the overall score of 2-4 and they are just outside the Top 6 zone in Group A, while Cedevita are holding the 4th place in Group B with the overall score of 4-2.
