Αlba Berlin got its second straight Champions Cup title by beating Bayern Munich (76-68). It was a great start for the season for the team of coach Sasha Obradovic, which got a great game by Redding (8 p., 9 as., 4 r.), McLean (15 p., 4 r.) and Stojanovski (13 p., 7 r.).
The guest from Munich – the game was played in Berlin – shot under 35% in two point shots and 15% in threes during the majority of the game and Alba got the lead from the first period (21-11). The hosts even led by 20 points (45-35) and never felt in danger, despite the effort of Bayern for a come back, which never happened.
In Croatia, Cedevita didn’t faced any trouble against Cibona, which should be flattered by the final 80-74 defeat in the “Drazen Petrovic cup”. The winners just relaxed in the ended, after getting a 45-27 lead in the half. Roko Leni Ukic with 22 points and 5 assists was the leader of Cedevita and center Miro Bilan added 16 points.
