However, Dubai squad have demonstrated two extremely convincing performances as they have ousted Split at home in Coca-Cola Arena and Borac on the road in Čačak. On the other side, the newcomers of Transylvania have struggled to grab their first win in the season in their first ever ABA appearance, as they have cracked the resistance of Krka on the road in Ljubljana only after overtime.
