Both the Greeks and the French champions defended their home courts, however specially the Reds will want to keep from this night only the positive result and little else.
In a very ugly and sloppy game Olympiacos beat Laboral Kutxa (63-57). In the five last minutes the score was 9-5 in favor of the Reds and that was enough for them in order to prevail. Both teams had a bad shooting day with the host making just 4/17 threes and the guests 10/35 two pointers.
Limoges got its first win for the season against Cedevita (71-60) with Nobel Bongou Colo leading the way with 17 points. The hosts got 24-16 lead in the first quarter, had for most of the game a double digits advantage and never felt threatened in any way. Playing without the injured duo of Marko Tomas and Roko Leni Ukic, Cedevita couldn’t do much more.
