Direct Playoffs Battle in Sarajevo: Bosna BH Telecom Host U-BT Cluj-Napoca

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 4, Sunday, 22 March 2026:

BOSNA BH TELECOM - U-BT CLUJ-NAPOCA

Where? Zetra Olympiac Hall, Sarajevo

When? 19:00

Story of the Game: Bosna BH Telecom will host U-BT Cluj-Napoca on Sunday in Round 4 of the Top 8 stage, in what shapes up to be a direct battle for a place in the Playoffs of the AdmiralBet ABA League.

The stakes are high, as U-BT Cluj-Napoca currently sit in 6th place with a 10-8 record, holding the final spot that leads directly to the Playoffs and avoids the Play-In stage. Right behind them are Bosna BH Telecom in 7th place with a 9-10 record, making this clash crucial in the race for a Top 6 finish.

Both teams enter this matchup looking to bounce back after heartbreaking exits from European competitions earlier this week. U-BT Cluj-Napoca fell short in a dramatic road thriller against Bahcesehir, missing out on a place in the BKT EuroCup semi-finals. Meanwhile, Bosna BH Telecom were eliminated from the FIBA Europe Cup Quarter-Finals after failing to overturn a 16-point deficit against Falco. With their European journeys now over, both sides will be fully focused on finishing the AdmiralBet ABA League season strong.

That makes Sunday’s encounter even more significant, as it offers a chance not only to recover from recent disappointments but also to gain a direct advantage over a key rival in the standings.

Match-up in focus: The matchup to watch will be the duel between two elite scoring point guards. Bosna’s Alfonso Plummer has been one of the team’s main offensive weapons this season, averaging 14.6 points per game, while U-BT Cluj-Napoca’s Daron Russell leads his side with 15.2 points per game. Their head-to-head battle could very well decide the outcome of this high-stakes showdown.

Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 0:0.
