So far Darussafaka Istanbul is definitely making a strong case for being one of the biggest favorites to win the EuroCup, thus earning a ticket to the 2018-2019 EuroLeague.
Right now David Blatt’s squad is perfect in Group A after downing previously undefeated in all competitions Unics Kazan 78 – 69.
Scottie Wilbekin scored a game-high 20 points while Micheal Eric had 12 points, eight rebounds, and this fantastic putback slam:
Quino Colom led Unics with 16 points.
Meanwhile, in France, Fiat Turin got a stunning win over Boris Diaw’s Levallois Metropolitans 79 – 73.
The double-double of 11 points/10 rebounds plus the three assists by the former NBA champion didn’t cut it for the French team against Dionte Garrett’s 22 points and Lamar Patterson’s 16 points, six assists plus five rebounds.
With Demetris Nichols scoring 20 and Kevin Murphy adding 18 points, Cedevita Zagreb overpowered Morabanc Andorra 91 – 73 at home.
Draft prospect Dzanan Musa had 12 points and four rebounds for the Croatians while only Przemek Karnowski and David Walker dropped double-digit numbers for the losing side with 11 and 10 points respectively.
