Lokomotiv Kuban grabbed the win and the tiebreaker against Boulogne Metropolitans by taking a 61 – 83 road victory to remain alive in the battle for the playoffs.
Nigel Williams-Goss had 19 points, seven assists and six steals to pace the winning squad while Will Cummings scored 18. Loko would’ve been eliminated with a defeat, a result that would also send Boulogne to the next stage.

Dolomiti Energia Trento improved to 3-2 by defeating Partizan Belgrade 69 – 54 behind 16 points and five rebounds by Jacorey Williams. The Italian team still hasn’t advanced in the quarterfinals, with everything being open ahead of the final round.
Rashawn Thomas (17 points, seven rebounds) stood out from Partizan.
